Casey Scorpions in VFL First Semi Final


KC from Casey

Recommended Posts

The Casey Scorpions have the opportunity to redeem themselves after last week's disappointing 97 point qualifying final capitulation at the hands of undefeated premiership favourite Port Melbourne in Saturday's first semi final against the Werribee Tigers.

The Scorpions hope to be boosted by the return of some of the eligible MFC listed players for the game against Werribee which is one of the two VFL clubs affiliated with North Melbourne which are still in the premiership race.

The teams have met twice this year with honours even.

The first meeting was at Chirnside Park, Werribee when the home side upset the Scorpions in a spiteful game marred by an all in brawl five minutes before the final siren.

The Tigers led from the outset and despite a flurry of last quarter goals, the Scorpions left their run far to late going down by two goals.

It looks as if the MFC have made the full suite of eligible players available this time around. I'm particularly interested in how the boys who've had a bit of a taste of AFL level footy go in the rest of the VFL finals, in particular Gawn, Fitzpatrick, McDonald and Nicholson.

I reckon Bail is the only one in that side that doesn't belong there. It's a stroke of luck for Casey that he's eligible.

Good luck Casey.

Lets hope the interchange is: Davis Fitzpatrick Lawrence Panozza.

Surely Panozza wouldnt get overlooked after his good game last week? I feel Juice has played his last game for Casey as an

MFC rookie given the amount of talls already in our forward line. The side does lack balance without a small forward of note,

Nicholls merely a resting onballer, so youd think Lawrence would be tailor made for that spot.

Robbie Campbells return is warmly welcomed he was missed last week.

Seriously, how is Jetta not named?

If he's not injured, I just don't get it...

Will Campbell get up?

I'd really rather see Gawn & Fitzy both play, for their development, even though I know that might not be best for Casey's chances.

Jordie McKenzie, Jack Grimes and Sam Blease have arrived at the ground.

Sam is eligible to play but he's been crook all week so was forced to miss. Nev Jetta went in for a shoulder operation this week so his season is over. I believe it's also over for Addam Maric.

And ... no ... Tom Scully hasn't been sighted so there's no reason to merge this thread :lol:

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
