Geelong v Casey Scorpions

[Lil_red_fire_engine 10,836]

We just cant take a trick.

[Bossdog 2,002]

Maybe this will keep the other teams away from him now????

[dpositive 1,649]

Thanks for taking the time to keep us posted KC it is really appreciated

Look forward to your always excellent reports of the match

I do really like your report of events flavoured with just a touch of your opinion.

Your observations are rarely contradicted so I feel I learn more about the squad than from many others posters.

Will obviously be interested in your appraisal of Watts Jurrah and the other individual contributions.

I think others have stated the importance of the basis of that side our high draft picks as the future team

It is certainly going to be interesting how the "ones" go and how we are able to use the scorps as development of the squad.

GO DEES

Watts 20 disposals, 4 goals. Looks like he took being dropped in the right way, too good to languish in VFL, should be back in the seniors.

Next week:

IN: Watts & Jurrah (as sub)

OUT: Dunn & whoever doesn't play their role this week

I'd love to see Petterd, Blease and Bennel playing well back in the senior team, but want to see them playing consistently in the bests at Casey. All 3 have potential to be very good AFL players, but their deficiencies are holding them back. Let's hope these 3 develop and come on asap!

Maybe gysberts needs to learn how to protect himself better. Maybe he has crap awareness and never braces for bumps and crashes well...

[olisik 4,060]

How did cook, blease and petterd go today

[RalphiusMaximus 6,012]

So will Wojinski be suspended for this? What about the guy who hit Gys?

Can anyone remember the last time someone was suspended after playing against Melbourne (Casey in this case)? I'm struggling to remember one in the past year.

No one doubts Watts can play. Keen to know how many 1%ers to go with the goals and possessions.

He puts his head over the ball,gets smashed and you have a go at him saying he has no awareness?????

Any video taken in ressie games?

Watts actually does a lot off the ball. If you look at pack marking situations, he's often the guy putting on blocks and shoving opponents out of the way. The problem is that we need him to be the one taking the mark. The big problem with his game is his tackling and repeat efforts. Generally if he's knocked out of the contest he falls over and that's the end of it. He needs to be back up and into them over and over again.

Any chance of considering the facts of what happened? Hmmm?

Doubt JUrrah would be close to selection given its his first game back. Plus he is still to deal with the interruptions of the forthcoming trial.

Not good that we have not heard Petterd being prominent from KC and others.

It will be interesting to see if Watts contested more today or relied on skill to get through at this level.

I'd rather give Watts another week or 2 at Casey.

He really needs to earn his promotion to the senior team, moreso than others, in my book.

I don't know details, but a jaw doesn't break on it's own. It happens with high contact. If he's hit someone high with enough force to break their jaw I would think that it's a slam dunk that he'd be reported for it.

A. His head wasnt over the ball when it happened

B. i said "maybe", dnt see how its having a go at him, simply identifying a possible weakspot in his game

C. U really think its "bad luck" that the same players keep getting constant injuries? Yeah ok mate

U really make unconstructive posts sometimes boss, please think before posting

Garry Lyon (who is commentating the game today for MMM and has been watching the Scorps) said that Watts would not be back next week based on todays game - stats looks good but it wasn't overly impressive.

Wow.

[olisik 4,060]

Wow.

He constantly criticizes my posts with no grounds or construction to the conversation. Needed to be said. Im at the game and saw what happened.

Point taken I just don't see how you can prepare for injuries like broken jaws. Maybe Viney should take note as well. Maybe also you could inform the rest of us peasents about what acually happened.

As was said, how about we wait until someone who actually saw the incident can fill in the details. A broken jaw does not necessarily mean a high tackle... it could be a hip making contact in a contested ball situation, could be an attempt smother gone wrong, it could be any number of things... so why immediately assume it should be a reportable offence?

[GRUN DEE 69]

Crap!!! Viney & the Gys broken jaws.

I will be [censored] if we cant get Viney with our second round pick. Especially if we finish in the bottom three!

We will stitch up GWS down the track if they make us use our first pick...

Vineys was fair, first game and a crude bump. Was hard to avoid.

Gysberts on the other hand i noticed dosnt seem to brace the best for oncomming collision. Not sure of he sees them coming or not.

I agree. Having been dropped, in the absence of a disaster in the ones, I think you need to earn back your place with a couple of 'best' performances in the twos. Consistency of effort needs to be demonstrated, I think.

P.s. it's a contact sport and broken jaws are always a possibility. I don' t think our injury list is any worse than a numb of other teams. This season we at last have some depth from which to choose.

The report on the AFL website described it as a "fair bump"...

I'm going by the report on this thread that says Wojinski laid him out with a bump.
