PRACTICE MATCH: CASEY SCORPIONS v PORT MELBOURNE

[demonoid 317]

Another Port goal Officially embarrassing now!

what do you think is going to happen when you throw all these senior players who have little or nothing to do with casey into their team. This is nothing more than match practise for certain players and I couldn't give a stuff about the result

[farmerwiz 60]

Fair go. Casey has 9 AFL listed players on the park and they're getting towelled up by 7 goals now.

we are good at making excuses for our consistently bad performances

sorry didn't realise there was a scoreboard if Mitch and the two jacks are okay to me and probably most other posters its a win

i repeat its a thrown together casey team with a few senior players getting some conditioning. Get a grip people

[BrisbaneDemon 1,572]

Is Neeldy there guys?

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

the score is of no concern it's all about Mitch and the two jacks

Yep that sums up my thoughts exactly. Throw in Blease as well. As long as they all come up healthy I'm happy.

[Allen Jakovich 516]

seriously, who gives a flamin *@&! about the score.

Any updates on how trenners is going, haven't heard much from anyone since early days?

[waynewussell 6,241]

Blease working hard now Viney best of MFC mob

[Josh 1,420]

Yes Neeld Craig Todd Viney Grimes Spencer and Watts all watching on

I appreciate all you do for us Demonlanders KC, but am I wrong? I realise there are nine Demon players out there, but seven of them are 22 and under.

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

I can't believe some on here have added a VFL scratch match to their wrist slashing file.

[Josh 1,420]

Viney right in the middle of the quater time scuffle flying the flag. Great to see.

Clark and Trenners perhaps lacking some match fitness wouldn't be surprised of they missed round 1.

Blease is ready to go as is Viney.

Who cares about the result, VIney sounds like he is going well, least we got a kid who has a dip this year.

Nathan Jones will be happy, he doesn't have to have a crack on his lonesome.

Blease has a go as well, hopefully he starts round 1, we need these types up and running.

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Half Time and it was a 9 goal second quarter to Port who monstered the Scorps physically with their bigger bodies and more superior ball movement.

Casey helped by a goal after the siren from Kyle Matthews.

Port Melbourne 11.5.71 to Casey Scorpions 5.5.35

Why?...I thought u knew Demonland could be renamed "Everything I hate about MFC" ....they are not at the game, can't see what is going on, but hey that doesn't stop them, Clark is playing his first game in nearly nine months, if he gets through unscathed that will do me

[waynewussell 6,241]

Trenners started very well but didn't notice him much in 2nd These players have rotated off at regular intervals so don't read too much into names not being mentioned Mitch plays hard, bruising contested football so he is worth his weight, even with modest stats

Sam Blease and Rory Taggert WW???

It's understood that Casey doesn't have as good a list of VFL players but that should be compensated for by the fact that Casey can use a number of AFL listed players available to it while Port can't. Therefore, Port is entitled to spend up a bit more. You really can't expect much from Casey's VFL players when most of the AFL listed guys are just going.

Can I ask why u are even reading this, if u know the result and outcomes already?

[waynewussell 6,241]

I expect a turn around in 3rd with Casey kicking with it Port have already played three practice matches Casey is made of of at least 10 who have had next to no match play Don't write the shared arrangement off just yet About 350 in attendance Very overcast but no rain to date

[Deecisive 1,709]

Good ploy by port to kick into the breeze first as the first quarter would most likely result in players just trying to get some touch, hence our not so good first quarter. Sad about our second though, sounds like the players were not even in the contest.

I realise this. I'm just wondering about something that you alluded to in a post last week: Why did Casey not recruit some experienced VFL standard footballers for their list this year? Was it a directive from MFC? Or were there other reasons?

[waynewussell 6,241]

Taggert is built like a brick shite dwelling these days and has been ok Blease really dug in the last 10 minutes and had a rhg I want to see 2nd half before I summarize As you can imagine, it's very difficult to type on iPhone while trying to watch the game with players who have numbers that don't equate to anything I have already filed away!

[Scoop Junior 3,513]

Scrappy first quarter but casey were on top I thought. Second quarter was very poor with Port completely dominating the play.

Melbourne players:

Viney - clearly the pick of the Melbourne players and the only one who looked capable of driving casey forward in the second quarter.

Clark - limited opportunities, especially in the second quarter. But moving well and freely which is the main thing.

Trengove - playing out wide on the wing. Barely sighted.

Taggert, Kent, Fitz - all pretty quiet. Kent does look good when he gets the ball though.

Blease - some flashes of good play but not consistently involved in the game.

Jordie - a few touches in close but fairly quiet overall.

There are lots of rotations with players coming on and off all the time so it's probably hard to pick up the rhythm of the game.

But there is little to excite at the moment other than a good effort from Viney and Clark moving with freedom.
