Three Quarter Time

Casey Scorpions 7.8.50

Northern Blues 14.7.91

A much better quarter but the Blues are well in control.

You wouldn't believe it's 1st v 12th!

    Cook gets his first but it's still the Blues by a big margin.

    How has he been today KC.

    Cook that is?

    Struggling like most of the small MFC contingent. The most impressive of the Demons is Michael "Pickles" Evans who is boring into packs as if he hasn't missed most of the season with a back injury and Leigh Williams who is lively up forward.

    Meanwhile, Casey creeps closer with another goal but it's too late 11.10 to 17.7 at 24 minutes.

    I am surprised they are this close

    Casey will get mauled against that Carlton side.

    ....unless they are still tanking.

    Interesting that Williams is doing so well. Could be that he gets a late call-up rather than Cook at some point this year the way he's improving.

    Interesting thought - especially considering his near death experience only a couple of months ago.

    One would have to think that if Cook cant get a call up now, with the dearth of tall forwards and the overall lack of numbers at this "junk time" of the season then maybe MN has already decided that he wont make it.

    Thats because Williams is going to be one hell of a player.

    Keep an eye on the kid, he is only going upwards.

    Went to the game today, and while I don't like pointing the finger at young players, I have to admit that I wasn't impressed with Cook today.

    He's still young and I hope today was just a bad day at the office, but he failed to have any real impact on a day where he was needed due to the lack of Melbourne players playing,

    To be fair, delivery wasn't great but he didn't do enough for my liking. I know he has the tools to be a good players, I just hope he shows something in the remaining weeks this season, because if he keeps playing the way he did today, he'll have a battle to get a new contract.

    I am a Cook fan and have gone into bat for him before, but today he just wasn't good enough and I was really disapointed!

    Sad to hear. He was showing a lot of promise 4-5 weeks ago.

    The selection of Cook at 12 was wrong especially when we could have Darling or Atley or someone that was capable of playing AFL before 2015; bloody dreadful decision.

    Quite a few of our selections are turning out that way.

    Yes they are and all thanks to Cameron and Prendergast I reckon you me and old dee could have done a better job. Notice how the faithful have dropped off him over the last half of the year, where's all the support gone?

    Watched a bit of the Box Hill v Coburg game today and saw Maric running around, another wasted high draft pick.

    Great post - balancned, with no hysteria. I hope Cook turns out to be a good pick. He's going to have to work hard to get there it would seem, based on Neelds recent comments about him not being fit enough yet

    Agreed. He will have to have one mighty pre-season to ensure he "stays" a listed player. It does take key position/ruck players a few years to develop but he seems to lack the true footy smarts and to use his body.

    (maybe add to the list of 10 players missed ...Jack Darling, Shaun Atley, Ben Jacobs all were missed here)

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
