Northern Blues v Casey Scorpions

[KC from Casey 7,117]

First blood of the second quarter with a great goal to Kelvin Lawrence. Scorps now lead by 21 points.

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Doing most of the attacking but can't break through 5.6.36 to 2.2.14.

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Casey's lead is out to 26 points but all the talk here is about GWS and Geelong being level at half time at the Cattery.

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Goal to Petterd. Casey Scorpions 7.7.49 to Northern Blues 2.2.14 at the 23 minute mark of the second quarter.

.and so it should be - they look quick and switched on.

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Half Time: Casey Scorpions lead 8.8.56,to 3.2.20.

Goals: Cook 3 Bate Fieldsend Fitzpatrick Lawrence Petterd

Stat leaders: Panozza 15, L. Tynan 14, Petterd 14, Bate, Davey 13, Sheahan 13, Fitzpatrick 11.

Some good performances out there. Evan Panozza producing some great leadership. Troy Davis and Jai Sheahan are very cool customers in defence along with a much improved Luke Tynan. Cook really showing some good signs in front of goal

[deeko 952]

Ricky P did some great things through that quarter. Loves a trash talk too which got him into a good scuffle with Davis backing him nicely.

First goal of the quarter was a cracker from the pocket to Lawrence as well.

Unleash the cookie monster!

[Supermercado 2,802]

Should I be getting excited about Cook or are the Bullants just doing what you expect a 1-6 team to do? Is he on a Carlton player or some 17-year-old?

Still, good signs. Also pleased to hear Davis is doing well.

[Hells Gates 505]

Huge fan of Davis & have never gave up on Cook like most - the kid has all the goods, needs to add on weight, will be our next FF, Clark plays better up and around the CHF position and thats where we get let down. Time to start playing these kids like Davis, Cook, Tynan, Taggert & Co.

Problem is that Morton has ruined the assumption that players will eventually put on weight for everyone.

Just like Jamar turning out to be good six years later means we'll never be able to write off a ruckman quickly ever again.

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Not much happening here at Visy Park where both teams are finding it hard to score early in the third term.

The Blues have the only score of the first eight minutes of the quarter - a point.

[deeko 952]

Great grab by cooky!

And Watts getting tackled first up in Queen's Bday has ruined any chances of Cook getting a game before he's 25 and 100kg...

Yes whilst you may be right in these cases, Cook has put on 10kg in 2 years whilst Morton hasnt put on any!!! I rate Cook very highly.

As for Jamar, personally I wouldnt of held on to him that long, nor would any club for that matter. Had one good season and doesnt do any damage around the ground. However he is leading the AFL in hitouts and is being let down by a non-existent midfield.

Wouldnt be suprised to see the Dees get a mature ruckman in FA or Rookie draft this year, shame Gawn doesnt look like he will make it due to injury.

[KC from Casey 7,117]

... Casey Scorpions 9.8.62 to Northern Blues 3.4.22

Max will be back but not before 2013 ... and Daniel Menzel's experience today is another good reason why he shouldn't attempt to come back too soon.

I would like to see Jake Spencer get another chance. Perhaps after the bye when we take on GWS?

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Goal to the Flash. Casey 10.9.69 to Northern 4.5.29 late in the third term.

Certainly not suggesting that CM is representative of any other player! He needs to be locked inside a KFC.

Yeah bloody sad about Menzel WJ. Good young kid. Do you know if Max will be ready to go start of pre season?

Yeah they need to trial Spencer for a few games and see how he goes.

[Whispering_Jack 30,672]

I saw Max at the G a few weeks ago and he said he'd just started running. Hopefully, that means he will be right to go early next season. I'm sure they'll be pretty conservative with him given that he's had 2 ACLs already.

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Three quarter time: Casey 12.10.82 lead Northern Blues 4.5.29 - a goal on the siren and it's becoming a bit of a blow out.

Goals: Cook 3 Bate Lawrence 2 Davey Fieldsend Fitzpatrick Panozza Petterd

Major possession winners: Bate Sheahan 20 LTynan Panozza18 Davey 17

[deeko 952]

Based on Jake's game today, I doubt it. He has a foot on the bullants ruckman but just gets knocked from his line so easily. He needs a lot more strength in his legs so he isn't shoved out of the way.

Also around the ground he has had little to no impact at all

Fitzy as clunked a couple grabs today so I think he would be ahead atm

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Lead out to 66 points with the Scorps on fire!

Can this count as revenge for last Sunday afternoon at the G?
