Casey Scorpions v North Ballarat

Featured Replies

Jamie shows us a glimpse of his talent every now and then but that's all, he just doesn't get enough of it or do enough in games. You can't give a player a game if he is continually getting 6 or 7 possessions each week.

Agreed, at the same time in the vfl he can pay his opponent no respect and get away with it, at afl level especially in our defense he has not been playing the aggressive defender role, but more off lock down closer to goal and stick on his opponent, he needs to find the balance at afl level of watching his manand fetching the ball! I'm happy with his 6 or 7 disposal games if he continues to shut down opponents, the offensive side of his game wil come I think.

He played on Matty Campbell and cut him out of the game. He's AFL standard - he wasn't playing on a nobody.

The only thing I didn't see was JB picking a contest where he was outclassed or outsized. So no reckless hardness as I recall, but definitely desire.

In the final minutes of play when he ran off the square and crashed into the pack hurting himself and an opposition play he did show that "reckless hardness". It was like he said "it's up to me". First time I've really seem that in him. It was great.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
