It seems at this stage that Casey haven't replaced any of the name players who have left the club since the end of the season - Brendan Fevola, Tim Mohr, Michael Stockdale etc. I believe that James Wall and Rian McGough have also left the club and it appears as if Scorps might be relying on the new MFC listed players and some locals to provide the new blood.

Great news with the lack of destabilising signings. I think with Couch and Magner in the midfield and Williams, Cook, Sellar and Davis making up the spine that Casey should focus on getting some (as close to) top quality youth in because they could really develop some half forwards and half backs who could go the next level.

The video shows some high quality training with some of the lowest quality filming ever done. They need a new camera, and to borrow any half decent film and media student to put together a semi reasonable video. Also the song is very very ...

Much appreciated Jordie_tackles.

I sense that the MFC influence at Casey will be much stronger this year after the disagreements last year concerning the recruiting to Casey of Fevola.

I still think you need some quality VFL type players on your list to ensure consistency within your team.

I suspect the Scorpions are going to do it tough next year, especially if there are are injuries in the Demon ranks.

I wonder what's going on over there at the Casey Scorpions?

During the off season they appear to have lost a number of key players including James Wall who filled in as skipper over the time of Kyle Matthews' injuries, Brendan Fevola, Michael Stockdale, Tim Mohr drafted to Greater Western Sydney and a couple of others.

Wall and Stockdale have crossed to Williamstown and are already in training there.

Of more concern would be the fact that two gun players from Casey's main recruiting ground, the Gippsland Power have relocated to Melbourne and have also joined Williamstown. They are Maffra's Shaun Wyatt who was the Power's captain last year and Traralgon's Haydn Hector. Both were in the Vic Country Under 18 team and played games as 23rd players for the Scorpions.

It's all well and good to say that Casey will benefit from the new MFC recruits but you would wonder where the depth for the team in going to come from?

Risa is Michael Riseley. Brother of recent Olympic distance runner Jeff Riseley. No surprises he is smashing the time trials

Happy New Year all - I'm back from an extended break and looking forward to the coming season.

The news from out at Casey is that there's very little news. No big name signings and any recruiting is likely to be from locals.

The reserves competition has been renamed the "AFLV Development League" and the fixture is now out for that competition.

There's still a month to go before the practice matches but for the time being its all quiet on the Casey front.

Good to see you back KC.

Has the MFC staged a Coup at Casey?

Seems to me that the MFC has demanded that Casey toe the line and they will be just the MFC seconds in 2012.

Training ground for juniors and players returning from injury.

They are beginning to look like Collingwood seconds more every day.

Or am I reading more into this than exists?

There's a team called the "Pigeons"?

WJ I had a holiday house in past days at Yarrawonga.

Meet a guy who was on the commitee of the club.

After I a number of meetings I plucked up the courage to ask about the "Pidgeons" name.

They play in Geelong colours and he had a few years previous made a presentation to the board on changing the name.

To the "cats"!

Said they fell upon him like a pack of rabid dogs.

Told him if the Pidgeons was not good enough for him he should move across the river to the Mulwala Lions ( lower league )

SO yes they are the Pidgeons.

Have been fairly successful over the years in the O&M league.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to sta

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
