Casey Scorpions v Werribee Tigers


KC from Casey

Recommended Posts

Whats the deal with Taggert, brand new recruit and plays 2 games for the season? You got to be kidding me.

Basically a wasted draft pick. Kids drafted this year will be ahead of him from the word go.

If you watched his game at Box Hill you would know that this kid can really play. Poise, good size, decision making and great kick, seems like the type of player we need.

Pity he didn't get on the park enough but a really good pick for a 2nd rounder, one year in the system playing or not still keeps him ahead of the game.

I notice the number of Demons eligible to play for Casey in the finals (after this week when selection is open) is now down to only eight – Eight Demons eligible for VFL finals

Jake Spencer is the player taken off the previous list, presumably because he played too many AFL games (?).

That’s a blow to the Scorps and might explain why, despite finishing on top, they are fifth in the line of favouritism for the flag according to the Herald Sun.

In that case then it isn't worth unsettling the Scorps winning ways to give Fitz one meaningless game & put Spence in the Casey team, for just one match? then further unsettle them again into the first week of Finals.

Are we trying to stop Casey again???

We all know we want pick 3 & 4 in the draft, so why wreck Casey for nothing?

We do not even need to consider them in our selection process-although it's nice that you have .

Casey is getting a lot out of the relationship already .

We can be mean to her and use her how we like.

and dump her if she starts to get annoying .

KC, has Valenti had another really good year or is he just favourite based on past performances in the award?

Valenti is a good VFL footballer but is not tall enough and too slow to go further. At VFL level, he's very much like another Liston contender, Tom Couch, a ball magnet who dominates.

so if a team is losing, it means they don't take their side seriously? maybe their VFL players just aren't that good? seriously mate pick the right time and place to have a go at other clubs

Let's see Box Hill Hawks in the VFL finals and Collingwood out - the conventional wisdom is that standalone resrves is better but I'm not so sure.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
