A preview of the game on the VFL site - Bombers v Scorpions preview

Worth going down to Windy Hill for nostalgic reasons and also to catch a look at the premises opposite the road from the ground which form the basis of so much of what's in the news in the sport of late.

& Jack, give a wave to the old bowlers who maneuvered the "Flying High team", out to a new hangar. :)

    Not sure if this has been covered, but, is there a reason as to why Barry is missing from the squad?

    Will be interesting to see how Hogan & Daniher compare at the final siren.

    Casey lead 4.2.26 vs Ess 2.4.16

    Hogan couple nice plays, good pickup and hands in one motion, impressive from a hulk

    Wind would be favouring Ess, mostly across the ground but defiantly more that way

    Daniher is a giant, skinny but a giant,

    26 vs 22 as daniher kicks a long goal

    Narrow quarter time lead to the Scorps - 4 points in an entertaining game.

    Casey Scorpions 4.2.26 lead Essendon 3.4.22

    Honours about even after the Scorps kicked the first three goals of the match. Bombers are brim full of Essendon listed players and playing with a lot of pep!

    Qtr time Casey 4.2.26 to EFC 3.4.22

    Best players Strauss, Hogan, Spencer and Page.

    Hogan 5 kicks 2 handballs 3 marks

    Great - I have been waiting for Strauss to start dominating VFL. He had a good game last week and if he has a good game today I think that will put him in the mix for next week. Although I would like him to show good form in VFL next week as well (3 weeks in a row) before giving him a shot in AFL. I think consistency will have a big impact on his confidence.

    There is always a place for a player with a good kick in our team.

    Casey Scorpions holding on to their lead. The Bombers peppered the goals, but the Scorps scored against the run of play to go 9.6.60 to 4.8.32.

    Late fightback by the Bombers but Casey had all the answers and lead by near on five goals at the main break. Some nice co-operation between Jack Fitzpatrick and Jake Best of the Scorps produced goals for both players.

    Half time: Casey Scorpions 11.6.72 to Essendon 6.8.44

    Stats: McKenzie 20, Rodan, Spencer, Couch,Nicholson 11,Hogan 10

    Looks like Neelds game plan works, and more importantly the players understand it.

    Thanks for the first half update guys.

    Half time Casey 11.6.72 EFC 6.8.44

    Rodan,Couch and Taggert prominent. McKenzie lots of ball but poor disposal.

    Kent I believe has not touched it in the first half.

    He's clearly bought in to the defensive crticism then but to the detriment of his natural game.

  • Quote

    spencer and fitz have been dominant in the ruck, and around the ground their 1 percent and pressure acts have been superb. Spencer easily bog at half time for mine I

    taggert has done some very nice things is a very good size now.

    blease,rodan both been busy.

    hogan has taken some nice grabs on long leads. daniher shaded him so far, reminds me of Paul salmon.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
