With the Scorpions a game out of the top four and only five games left in the home and away season, Casey faces up to yet another must win game, this time against Geelong in the curtain raiser at Skilled Stadium starting at 10.40am on Saturday morning. The Cats are out of the eight but their recent form has been good and they have come close to causing an upset or two.

There should be some interesting names in the Scorpions line up with Aaron Davey likely to return through the seniors and Austin Wonaeamirri returning after spending the past seven weeks with family on the Tiwi Islands on compassionate leave dealing with personal matters following the death of his father Matthew and mentor Maurice Rioli. Aussie might however, have to start in the reserves due to the fact that he has just resumed training and may lack the fitness for a game in the seniors.

Star midfielder Danny Nicholls is almost certain to play his first game of the season against the Cats after playing the two games in the VFL reserves in his comeback from injury.

The Scorpions' reserves are on track to play finals for the first time in more than a decade. They are in fourth position and play Frankston just 13 days after their last match resulted in a massive percentage booster. This time the game's on neutral territory at Victoria Park.

I hope to be able to post the teams for both Casey games later this evening.

A few notes:-

• Neville Jetta and Michael Evans were two of Casey's best players in the midfield a fortnight ago and both will be sorely missed. Evans has a back injury but it seems Nev is injured again. Bad luck for both players as another good game at this level would have come close to ensuring their promotion.

• Austin Wonaeamirri is obviously not ready to play yet. He's missed a fair bit of training and perhaps might need to undergo what would virtually be another pre season, so it suggests that he probably won't make it back to the AFL this year.

• Jack Fitzpatrick in the centre for the reserves?

• Casey's Danny Nicholls back in the team after a long lay off and co skipper Kyle Matthews starts again in the twos. He deserves a bit of luck to go his way and I hope he gets it.

Without Bate and Dunn I'd be really keen to see how Lucas Cook goes playing as a true CHF.

Besides that strong games from Davey (even a half), Bartram and Macdonald should see them return to the seniors

Disastrous start to the day with the Cats bursting out of the blocks and kicking ten goals straight.

Casey Scorpions 4.1.25

Geelong 10.0.60

Troy Selwood has five goals.

I thought the game didn't start untill 2:10 ;)

Looking forward to some player updates KC. Thanks.

KC, can you explain what's happening in the game. Are we getting belted in the middle??? Is it our defence. It's amazing this is happening given some of the guys we have in there like MacDonald, Davey, Warnock, Bennel, Blease, Bartram etc etc

The lack of pure midfielders in the list of players you mentioned probably explains most of it.

They definitely miss Evans and Jetta in the middle, that's for sure!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
