Casey Scorpions news

That was just a joke...

Why is a Roos joke less serious than a Connolly joke?

What a joke.

CRANBOURNE star Michael Boland has signed with VFL team Casey Scorpions.

The athletic prospect was yesterday compared to emerging Fremantle ruckman Zac Clarke by Scorpions football manager Matthew Young.

Boland, 22, has played a variety of positions for the Eagles including centre half-back and ruck under coach Doug Koop.

"We targeted him at the end of last year and we've been watching him for a few years now and he's close to a couple of guys that play at the club," Young said.

"He's tall, he's lean and our coach [Rohan Welsh] compares him to Clarke from Fremantle."

From the above article I hope that Casey haven't gone out and recruited another Lucas Cook!

The focus this week might well be on Southport where the Demons take on the Gold Coast Suns but, if you've developed a fondness for Casey Fields after last Saturday's NAB Cup game against the Saints, why not come back again this week for the Scorpions' first practice match v Frankston?

The neighbouring Dolphins have recruited well, it promises to be a big day at Cranbourne East and the parking won't be anywhere near as bad as last week. I can't promise which of the Demons will be on show this week as the MFC will probably take up a decent squad and rest a few as well.

SATURDAY MARCH 16

Casey Scorpions vs Frankston at Casey Fields DL 11am VFL 2pm

However, it looks likely that some big guns will be on hand at the same venue following week (March 23) when the Scorps take on VFL heavyweights Port Melbourne and they could have a couple of handy inclusions.

Demons look to VFL.

Casey will round off its practice match series at home against Box Hill Hawks on 30 March.

I assume our New Zealand international player will get his groundbreaking introduction to the game at Casey?

From my understanding he was staying in NZ for most of the time. I presume he might come over for a block of training at some stage and maybe play VFL (that does make sense) but the main plan is to pay him to develop as an athlete first and see how he goes.

As for this VFL match it sounds like Clark and Trengove are aiming for it (but the week after might be more reasonable) and if he doesn't play this week that Dawes would be odds on to feature in it possibly with a few others trying to get some footy into them before round 1.

The twitter news from the Casey Scorpions suggests there will be some Demon represention at Casey Fields tomorrow even allowing for the 27 strong squad heading to the Gold Coast plus injuries and a few rested players:

1st praccy match is this Saturday at Casey Fields vs. Frankston. Development at 11am. Seniors at 2pm. Plenty of @melbournefc boys to play!

Possibly Dean Kent, Dom Barry and a few rookies, I would suggest.

With a few showers and a top of 22 predicted and a reasonably empty car park, it should be a stark contrast to last week.

    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

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
