[waynewussell 4,092]

3qtr time 104 to 50

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

Now up to 54 points at three quarter time. Port Melbourne 16.8.104 to Casey Scorpions 7.8.50

.

Apart from Jack Viney, the rest would struggle for promotion next week.

Sounds like last week. I am even more nervous for Round 1 now.

[Return to Glory 7,749]

Bloody hell. Officially nervous about next Sunday.

[Return to Glory 7,749]

How strong is the Port squad please ?

[waynewussell 4,092]

Here's the good news Mitch Trenners Blease mcKenzie Viney still standing I don't want to upset KC but part of the problem is that Casey is undermanned This will be an issue for Casey in 2013 They have some goers but they lack key position muscle This is not a criticism because MFC players will have to fill the void more than previously Our blokes have the "just get through the game" mentality today and you will understand why

Bloody hell. Officially nervous about next Sunday.

Why, u expecting the Casey players to be named for us ....get a grip...Blease hasn't played for 4 weeks, Clark for 9 months, Trengove fox six months. it is a practice match....would assume without the 80 rule we are rotating furiously...Viney knows no other way...if the report didn't read that way....then I would be worried about him...McKenzie needs a run...the rest have had very little minutes in pre season....

[waynewussell 4,092]

Mitch has shown me that he will play round 1 because his work rate has been excellent With better service he would have at least three by now

[Return to Glory 7,749]

Fair call!

[bush demon 1,901]

Goal to port after strong pack mark.

[waynewussell 4,092]

Apologies for repetition but Goal to Port

[waynewussell 4,092]

Just to put things in perspective Fitzy hasn't reappeared since whack in eye Casy have no height/strength in centre square

[Whispering_Jack 28,015]

Jack Fitzpatrick hasn't come back - possibly concussed. Port lead by 11 goals.

[Return to Glory 7,749]

WW, has Taggert shown anything at all?

[waynewussell 4,092]

Smith has been taking centre knock VFL umpires seem reluctant to give AFL players other than Jack V a free

[Satyriconhome 9,986]

Casey have also had a key back, who everybody maligns on here, not playing this week Troy Davis.

[waynewussell 4,092]

Taggert has done a few good things but not enough

[waynewussell 4,092]

Taggert just did some very good work inside Perhaps a lot has gone unnoticed

[waynewussell 4,092]

Blease just swore at umpire I concur

[waynewussell 4,092]

Mitch jogs off looking tired

[Return to Glory 7,749]

Thanks WW

[waynewussell 4,092]

It's now 124 to 53

[Whispering_Jack 28,015]

Mitch Clark and Sam Blease hit the sheds. Early shower. No apparent problems.

Rory hasn't played for 18 months. We give him full season at Casey we'll have a different footballer on our hands next year/later this year. He shows more in patches than most on our list.

[waynewussell 4,092]

Viney comes off for well earned rest Casey goal to Boland who looks lively

[bush demon 1,901]

Goal coming up for Casey. Long time between drinks. 19.10 to 8.10
