I have, I've gotten about, & I've met & spoken to some locals & some Scorpion members.

They were not happy with what Melbourne has done to their club, as was Sandy in our last year or so.

How do you think a Casey, member or one of the locals coming down to support that club feels after attending nearly All games & heading strongly into finals, we start Pulling our players Out, year after year.

We have even Lost a couple of Coaches who were not happy with the ways of the dees. We lost one last year....

* Yeah thats the way to build a great Culture, walk all over people & teach the players that way... treat 'Em like doormats.

There was only one person treating people like doormats and his reign is over, hopefully things improve,as for Casey if it wasnt for us they would cease to exist in the VFL.

    You still miss the point... it is not our call to commit to a partnership & not fulfill that commitment. there is NO 2 ways around it.

    We commit to help them win finals, or we go our own way under a different banner... simple. We don't have the right to drag them under & drown them...

    If, they go under of their own accord, then they gave it their best shot... But lets not pull them under, just to take their Identity & spot in the local & comp...

    We should have our own team if we want to do a colligwood & not win, but just develop.

    # Oh, & by the way, if we are not serious about winning, (not tanking, the VFL) then tell the patrons, who spend their time & money, & tell the Scorpion Players that we're not serious about winning, & last but not least tell the locals we are just practicing, & don't want to win Finals...

    Because then we will be Honest with people, instead of deceiving them, & then, just maybe, we will earn some R.E.S.P.E.C.T.....

    True, whoevers decision it was to put Fitzpatrick in hospital instead of letting him play finals for Casey is a Galvani and should be removed from our club. That decision was a dog act, disgusting.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
