Essendon v Casey Scorpions

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

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

To buy in defensively you need to show effort which he unfortunately hasn't in the first half.

    123 vs 54, smash up, and we will come home with the wind

    Our midfield of Mckenzie rodan couch magner ect, are dominating all clearances

    Hogan getting amongst everything going forward

    Daniher doing well with very limited opportunity

    Magner to be elevated at years end & play 2014 in the middle. Not that negative role Neeld had him in last year.

    Dominant quarter by the Scorps 19.9.123 EFC 7.12.54

    Kent with6 or so touches and a goal.

    Not even MFC could screw up Hogan becoming anything less than superstar.

    Playing a full season with Casey and having a second full pre season will do Hulk wonders for 2014.

    Very good display from Casey. Spencer dominating, all Melbourne players have been reasonable but Hogan is an absolute jet. Watching him and Daniher is like watching in 10 years time. Nicholson butchers it alot. Magner been serviceable but not amazing, Strauss rebounding been exceptionally.

    Kent good offensively but I can see where coaches come from, struggles to run back- though he is clearly trying to work on it!

    I thought the Essendon were supposed to be one of the good VFL teams?

    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.

    Poor disposal by Mckenzie no surely not!

    I wonder if that was one of the reasons we allegedly payed overs for him - We knew the kind of benefits of having a draftee a year earlier? (Viney)

    I would also think having him in Melbourne for 12+ months would help him settle in. Plus he is worth the #3 pick. Happy to have him on the Red & Blue.

    Its good to see that he is not a selfish forward nor does he just sit 15m from the goals. He moves everywhere.

    with essendon suspensions they've lost hille, winderlich and pears which hurts them. Plus they'll be holding some emergencies over for their game like us with sellar and toumpas. Not being a VFL side they won't have great replacements.

    Anyone watching is Matty bate playing? If so how's he going?

    Not sure he was worth a pick 3 at the time though. I think we could have got away with giving up pick 4 and got Barry as well. Who would have been able to better pick 4? Anyway I am stoked we got him and if was given the option now would defiantly give up pick 3 for him (he is like an agile J Brown).

    i asked a few weeks ago how the notoriously terrible at player development Demons were able to produce two great KPP's in Neitz and Schwarz and whats so different about our player development these days

    Someone reminded me that Schwarz and Neitz came through the under 19's and that may have been a great base for them.

    I see Hogans season at Casey as a similar, if not better form of development for him. I am glad as hell he is not eligible to play for the MFC this season as it may have ruined the young kid,

    Jesse is going to be a superstar, and this season at Casey is going to be the perfect springboard for his career

    Pretty sure we would've taken Toumpas either way.

    • 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.

      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.
