PRACTICE MATCH: CASEY SCORPIONS v BOX HILL

[Whispering_Jack 29,324]

I would expect that most of those who missed out on selection for the Port Adelaide game will be involved for the Casey Scorpions against Box Hill tomorrow.

Details:

SATURDAY MARCH 30

Casey Scorpions v Box Hill at Casey Fields Development League 11am, VFL 2pm.

One player I know who will be keen to get on the park is Max Gawn who tweeted yesterday:-

18 months on the sidelines, finally get to crack in this week in the vfl! #longtimecoming #pumped #thanksforallthesupport

Melbourne also re-instated Max to the senior list yesterday, having been on the long-term injury list since January 25 due to a hamstring injury. This followed more than a year's lay-off following his second ACL operation.

I think it's fair to say that all at Demonland wish Max well on his return to the game. I'll be there to cheer him on!

No doubt we'll also see James Magner who possibly would have been close to promotion to the senior list and even AFL selection but now would have to wait for a vacancy on the list to open up again.

[Benson 254]

Excited for Godzillas return. Hope to see him get a few senior games this year.

Would love to know how big maxy and trenners go.

I'm here and there are 15 Demons on the team sheet for the Scorpions which I will have up soon. They include JT and big Maxy.

In the meantime, the Casey Development League (reserves) team lost to Box Hill Hawks 9.11.65 to 13.7.85.

Today's Casey Scorpions Development League squad:

1. Kyle Matthews, 2. Nathan Allen, 4. Ben Hughes, 9. Darcy Irwin, 12. Brenton Hillard, 15. Bryce Rutherford, 16. Jordon Roberts, 17. Tom Long, 18. Jackson Anderson, 19. Luke Bull, 20. Tom Fusinato, 22. Matthew Rosier, 23. Tom Corry, 24. James McFarlane, 25. Andy Godfrey, 29. Sean Corrigan, 30. Luke Hill, 33. Aiden Lindsay, 34. Brendon Neville, 35. Mike McPhee, 37. David Blackie, 38. Steve McInnes, 39, 41. Nick Lang, 44. Lachie Meadows, 45. Sam Waters

Today's Casey Scorpions Senior squad:

3.Luke Tynan, 5. Jordon Pollard, 6. Daniel Nicholls, 10. Mitch Gent, 11, Michael Riseley, 13. Dave DeAurago 14. Evan Panozza, 21. Michael Boland, 26. James Strauss, 27. Nathan Page, 28. Jake Best, 32. Will Petropoulos, 36. Ben Kearns, 40. Tim Smith, 43. Dean Terlich, 46. Jack Trengove, 49. Tom McDonald, 52. Troy Davis, 54. Neville Jetta, 55. Thomas Couch, 58. Josh Tynan, 59. Max Gawn, 63. James Magner, 67. Dom Barry, 70. Mitch Clisby, 71. Dean Kent, 73. Rory Taggert, 80. Michael Evans

A much better team than last week in terms of balance although the ruck situation looks a little problematic if they want to ease Max back into things after 18 months out of football.

Kyle Cheney is on the Hawks' list as is Luke Hodge. It would be interesting if the latter were opposed to JT during the game creating a situation where 2 AFL skippers were opposed to each other.

Thanks KC! Can you keep us updated throughout the game please?

Intresting no Chris Dawes?

Thanks KC! Can you keep us updated throughout the game please?

Interesting no Chris Dawes?

Shall do.

[CBDees 3,165]

Does anyone know why Dawes is not listed? Surely they could have listed him as a sub or interchange, the fact that he is not playing at all is ominous!

[Bonkers 990]

Thanks KC! Can you keep us updated throughout the game please?

Intresting no Chris Dawes?

I'm guessing the selection committee think Dawes has enough mileage in his legs & will put him straight into the Seniors pending training & a fitness test next week?

[dpositive 1,660]

thanks Casey

always good to see your work

We have the annual Golden horseshoe weekend here with the grand parade just started so I have a few minutes between customers to catch up

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Is this a practice match or round one?

Gotta say, I'm really keen to hear about how ALL those guys go, Maxy and Trenners are big interests, but all those guys have potential and I'm keen to hear how they go.

Thanks for all your work keeping us up to date KC, always appreciated.

[KC from Casey 7,042]

Conditions perfect for football with a light breeze and the cloud cover keeping things cool.

Max opened in the ruck and is doing well. So is Nev Jetta. Only 1 point scored to date - by Box Hill.

[Pates 9,625]

Good luck big Max.

[KC from Casey 7,042]

Maxy took a mark about 50 out but his helicopter fell just short.

[KC from Casey 7,042]

For the third week in a row Mitch Clisby's # 70 jumper must have gone missing. He's wearing 74 again today.

Dean Terlich has been very impressive in a game that's become a battle of defences.

[KC from Casey 7,042]

First goal to Nathan Page of Casey who slotted one through from the boundary. Casey 1.5.11 to 0.1.1.

[KC from Casey 7,042]

That's also the quarter time score. Casey in control but only 10 points in front.

Casey Scorpions 1.5.11 to Box Hill Hawks 0.1.1

Stat leaders: Magner 10, Couch 9, Terlich, Pollard, Davis 8, Clisby 7.

[KC from Casey 7,042]

Box Hill get the first of the second term. Lead now 5 points.

[KC from Casey 7,042]

And they hit the front after a free kick and goal.

[dazzledavey36 53,227]

Who is playing well from the Melbourne players

[Matt Demon 1,407]

Rohan Welsh on the way to the Qtr time huddle, ' One goal five, typical fu#@ing Melbourne game style.' Good to hear isn't it?

[KC from Casey 7,042]

Box Hill getting away a bit with their third, again from a free and now, a miss from a free downfield makes it 8 points - 20 - 12.

[KC from Casey 7,042]

Max takes a strong mark and kicks long.

Ben Kearns roves the pack for a Casey goal to bring it to within a point.
