Casey Scorpions v Collingwood

[Guest Spirit of 39]

Everything Brett Lovett touches turns to gold. This man must be a seriously good coach.

I have a feeling that 'cookie monster' is gonna grow some serious legs. Awesome nickname, great for banners etc.

But i thought everybody thought he was useless because he isn't dominating AFL as a 19 year old 196cm KP forward?

That is why i don't listen to everybody. I see us with plenty of talls to develop in the next season or two. We need quality mids and 1 or 2 small forwards. We will turn this around fairly quickly I believe.

Could not agree more with this comment. "like" doesn't do it justice.

He did play and looked ok coming off the ground.

Thanks KC good to hear he is on the way back.

Also good to hear Cook is performing well.

[KC from Casey 6,672]

Amazing the impatience of supporters and the media. The whole Jack Watts criticising that has been a national sport over the last

two years has been hysterical. And yet over the past week I've heard Dermott Brereton respond to criticism of Ryan Schoenmakers

by saying "Hes just a kid let him develop" on SEN, and then this morning Robert Walls defend Lachlan Henderson by saying 'Hes only

a very young kid" in defence of his lack of output. These two are 22 and 23 respectively. Watts is 21. Its great to hear the Cook is

starting to show some of the ability that meant we used pick 12 on him..Lets keep nurturing him, let him develop at a natural rate and when

he's ready reward him with a senior game...

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Don't. Just don't..

[monoccular 16,391]

Thanks for the updates.

I am glad that Martin seems to be back in the mix, and especially that Cook is making good headway.

Would you see Cook as possibly being ready for a debut vs GW$, depending of course on the performances on Monday?

But they aren't pick number 1's- they would probably say. Apparently if you get picked up at number 1- even though you have no say in that- you should be great from day dot. That's the way it works..

Port Melb got beaten today. If the Scorps have a win they'll be equal on top with Port with a game in hand.

[KC from Casey 6,672]

Pies coming back with a couple of goals - lead down to 19 points at the 24 minute mark.

After a very good first half Aaron Davey is off the ground and the Casey bench is one man short.

Wasn't it mentioned in another thread that Davey has been named in the squad as a replacement for Bail who withdrew? Does playing today preclude him from selection on Monday?

No. He can play Monday if selected.

[Geddy Lee 582]

56-69 now.

[hardtack 10,148]

No. He can play Monday if selected.

In which case, I guess we now know who our most probable sub is going to be.

[KC from Casey 6,672]

Goal on the siren after a strong mark by Tim Smith restores the lead to 19 points and breaks a run of four on the trot from the Pies.

Casey lead 11.9.75 to Collingwood 8.8.56.
