    The wind which was an absolute gale in the Ressies and strong in the first quarter of this game has moderated. Port Melbourne is playing with confidence, has taken over in the midfield and is scoring at will. Casey now down by 28 points.

    Seems that Port have put their foot down. Need a few boys to stand up, if they dont get a cpl of goals back by half time game will be shot.

    Brendan Fevola seems to be the only danger player in the Casey attack. He gets his third to end Port's run of goals and put the Scorps within 20 points.

    that and get players to the contest..back your team mates up, provide pressure or options.. FFS Its not really rocket surgery is it. Its not like they have to turn up and invent the game on the day...Mind boggling stuff.

    Both teams at times look like theyre not that bothered..only dif is Port have the ball.

    truly embarassing now

    How is Valenti going?

    Valenti would be among the best three players on the ground.

    Fevola kicks his fifth but the game's well and truly over.

    Casey Scorpions 8.8.56

    Port Melbourne 20.12.132.

    Fevola kicks a long goal to record his sixth but Port has the game well in its grip.

    Since early in the second quarter Fev is Casey's only goalscorer.

    Once again at finals time due to injuries we have left Casey weakened.

    They wouldn't be half as dirty as Box Hill.

    I wouldn't write off Casey from the finals race as long as Melbourne plays ball with its players as a number who missed today and are playing with the Demons tomorrow are eligible to play in next week's semi final against Werribbee.

    I agree.

    I was at the game and it was obvious that Casey was short of class whilst Port was probably playing close to its best list.

    Add Maric, Nicholson, Bate, Fitzpatrick, McDonald and others who I may have forgotten and you'll have a fairer contest.

    BTW Gawn was outstanding and totally dominated the centre contests, but was alone in there. His work around the ground, and even on the ground in totally inappropriate conditions for someone of his height was so impressive.

    He's come a long way and will be going further!

    I was not at the game but from the telecast Gawn was a cut above and will start to become a serious force next year. Will be interesting how they balance his development with Jamar and Martin.

    Casey appeared to have a alot of same pace players and getting some class and speed back into the side next week will do them the world of good.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
