Frankston v Casey Scorpions


KC from Casey

Recommended Posts

For those who watched - Did Gysberts run the game out well?

Probably won't matter. Our midfield is just on fire this year, which is why he has been struggling to break into our side. He was only listed as 2nd best on ground, so I think we will have to wait another 3-4 weeks where he gets BOG in at least 2-3, before he can get a crack in the juggernaut that is the MFC midfield.

Would probably be about time for Gys to get a game. I understand the idea of making him earn it but he has been a regular in the bests for Casey and has plenty of talent in him.

It's not like our seniors are doing great things.

That's not the Melbourne Tynan, it's his brother who plays for Casey.

Totally correct, but this Tynan would be a great pickup next year.

Gysberts was OK, but we need outside class and run, which he doesn't bring. By all means give him a game, but don't expect it to make much difference. Evans spread and pace would probably benefit the team more.

Did Evans play today? How did he go? Probably one of the more interesting players to have lined up today, most of the rest (from the named lineup) are very ho-hum.

Maybe a player that can get first dibs on the ball could feed it out to an outside runner?

He was good. As was Gys. And Fitz was ok. Morton = good stats but seemed soft at times.

Mortons time is up, simple.

Humbug. He almost single-handedly stopped the route against Port Melbourne in the second quarter. Really stood up and did the hard things when he was needed. He is inconsistent, but I think there is too much upside to write him off just yet. I like to think that it will click for him sooner or later.

hey its VFL, how many years do you want to give him. Im sure he tries, but he should be playing every game for Melbourne and playing well, but he aint.

I live in a bubble of eternal optimism. I look at guys like Tuck over at Richmond and see that sometimes a player takes longer than people expect to hit his stride at the top level. I think that Morton could do that.

Thanks KC and others even the day after its a good read

Maybe Couch Gysberts and Morton are developing something as a unit down there at CAsey that could be valuable going forward.

Do Couch and Gysbert do the heavy lifting and provide Morton the outside player with some ball?

Could that be the sort of thing that a coach can do by using the attributes of different types to get the best out of them.

Maybe rather than promoting one at a time we need to expose a combination

I'll have what he's having.

It must be nice to wake up every day and think rosy thoughts all day long.

Mortein is gone.

You are spot on chief.

After a quiet first quarter Evans was really good. He's got the sort of energy and run that's presently missing from the senior team. Although a couple of times I thought he needed to go in harder.

Unlike a few on here I thought Morton had a decent game and he put his body on the line a few times. Like others I've run out of patience, but he was OK yesterday. It's terribly disappointing seeing a pick 4 running around for Casey in his 5th year.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
