CASEY SCORPIONS v FRANKSTON

Featured Replies

KC I know it's hard to keep track of everyone's requests but if possible would it be alright to cover Jetta and Strauss this afternoon. The level we need a running HBF was so evident last night, whoever is best out of those two should get a run against WCE.

Thanks again and go scorps

Essendon had 78 inside 50s last night.....having 1 or both of these would have made no difference.

Right now Strauss is getting a bit of towelling.

His opponent who I've never heard of has just kicked his second.

Quarter Time: Casey Scorpions 8.2.50 lead Frankston 6.3.39

Beat Melbourne's score from last night already but the bad news from next week's perspective is that the best players are all rookie listed or named Hogan.

Stats: Clisby 11 Magner 9 Couch 8

Goals: Tapscott 3 Kearns 2 Evans, Gawn Hogan

Ben Kearns who is fresh out of Gippsland Under 18's now has kicked a couple.

First two goals of the term by the Scorps pushes the lead out to 23 points.


It is a joke that AFL listed players can't dominate their Frankston opponents.

Well Baguley, Howlett, Hibberd, Matt Jones and Dean Terlich were all ok last night. Those bombers played against our best. How are our worst players meant to best good state league players

Is Tappy playing well, or just poor opposition, i.e. something like the demons.

Frankston are a much improved side this year and unlike Melbourne they're not giving up.

They just keep coming back and it's 11.3.69 to 8.5.53 but Dean Kent has just kicked a ripper - three bounces and a kick from outside 50 makes it 22 points the difference.

Tappy is playing like a man inspired - he's everywhere and seems to have lifted enormously in pace, endeavour and confidence.

KC any chance of an update, we have about 186 users reading this topic trying to get some idea of how Demon players are going with Casey


I for one, just want to say to KC, you post updates whenever you feel like it. They are much appreciated.

I sometimes get the impression some users think they are entitled to tell you who to watch and when to give updates.

Appreciate that Forest Demon.

Two reasons for my limited posting:-

1. Down to 39% on the iPhone and

2. The canteen.

Cheers & back soon!


We need harder nuts in next week who will contest, run hard all day and tackle tackle tackle....especially through the mid field.

Jetta, Kent, Tappy, Couch and Magner MUST come into this team. All potential mid field rotations as well. Most clubs are now able to rotate approx half their team (or a tad less) through the mid field now. We'd be lucky if we had 6 in the team from last night that were capable of being rotated through the middle and that's stretching it.

P.S. If you're going to go into matches taking an under-maned mid field in this day and age....expect to get smashed....week in and week out.

Need Spencer in for Jamar as well. He playing today KC? If so hows he looking if you're able to update thanks mate?

I have said it before, we need to uses all the midfield resources we have. Players like Jetta, Kent and Tappy can run through the midfield and play other positions (ie jetta as a small defender with stints in the midfield) - we need to take advantage of our depth.

Can the club just replace someone like Taggert or Tyan with Magner? - just take them of the senior list temporarily or put them on the long term injury list

We need gawn badly.

We need gawn badly.

Agreed but the fact is Gawn is not ready and Neeld would be a fool to bring him in after 1 VFL game in 2 years

Edited by Young Dee

looks like gawny is playing well. 10 disposal in the first half is pretty good for a ruckman. Mitch clisby seems to know how to find the ball aswell.

No offence taken.

It looks like good news today and if they go on to win this one then perhaps we'll see a turn around in Melbourne's fortunes.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
