Box Hill Hawks v Casey Scorpions



Recommended Posts

Just a heads up that I understand the game this week will be the ABC televised game.

If so, it will be the first time this year after seven rounds that the Scorpions will be featuring either on television or radio despite the fact that they're 5-1).

Of course, it makes the day an easy one for me because more people will be posting their views and the scores and I can relax a bit :)

A couple of big ins as far as Melbourne listed players in Green and Martin.

They've obviously lost Gysberts, VIney and Lees to injury and Bennell, Fitzpatrick and Petterd promoted to the MFC.

Particular points of interest for me this week are Tapscott, Jurrah, Blease, Martin, Cook and Watts. Cook for the "hurry up and kick on so we can stop this Darling whinging once and for all" factor, and the others because they're the ones I believe should be bashing the door down for selection in the near term.

As happy as I am to have Fitzpatrick promoted, I'm just as excited to see Cook as the main focal point up forward for once in a while.

Do not hold your breath Nasher it will be some time before he kicks a bag full in the seniors

Bloody decent forward line!

If only we had midfielders that can get the ball inside 50m. There would have been a few games over the past 3 years that our AFL forward line was these 5 guys. Add Blease and Tappy to the other hff and you have a second forward line.

From the above list, Watts, Martin and Jurrah are in our best 22, just need some fitness/form. That's 3 relatively young guys that should improve our team significantly.

If we're going to improve as a team, we really really really need those 3 guys + Blease, Tapscott to step up and be counted by seasons end

Agree. Some good signs from the Scorpions

1. We are 2nd on the VFL ladder a good sign of depth and quality.

2. We have former MFC player Brett Lovett as coach, teaching the Casey team to play to Neeld's gameplan and implementing the MFC development agenda.

3. We currently have half a dozen quality players pushing to get back into the Melbourne team including Jurrah, Martin, Watts, Strauss (soon), Tapscott, Blease, Couch and Gysberts (later).

4. Fev is gone, and we can now blood Cook and develop him as our next emerging big forward.

5. we beat Geelong reserves by 46 points (game details)

If the Scorpions are a sign of our future then the glass may still be half full.

Looking forward to watching them play on Sat arvo.

Have to agree on the observation that with Fev gone we can look at the development of Cook as another forward option. Once they are all up and running and we have the midfield that can provide quality delivery, a forward half of Watts, Clark, Cook, Howe, Fitzpatrick and Jurrah starts to look pretty formidable.

I have seen a few Casey games this year and the emergence of Sheahan has been a real highlight. I cannot see the sense of him being demoted to the Development team, if it happens.

I agree with this and in form these players do make us a better team. The issue is besides Gysberts(injuried) we don't have any midfielders that you would consider even close to our best 18.

Wouldnt that list also include our Captain from last year? Surely he will come back into the seniors in a couple of weeks time. I know its not fashionable to be liking senior experienced players around here, but I for one hope Greeny gets back into form and can still offer us something as a leading forward.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    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.
