Casey Scorpions v Williamstown

[old dee 24,001]

maybe,

that's part of the reason i asked the question

things like flu and food poisoning could occur without travelling interstate

so why 3? why not 2 or 4 or 5?

with viney being rested it looks like we will be resting 4 players (assuming od is correct) who are close to selection

i wonder if there are any statistics across all clubs as to what constitutes "normal practice" in this situation

i'd just hate for anyone to think we were tanking list managing

I doubt it dc everyone now knows we are crap

Or is this setting up the best one ever!

[rjay 25,306]

dc if my memory serves me I am fairly confident this has happened numerous times in the past with interstate games.

I think is more a case of covering things like the flu than having three suspect players.

Pretty sure you are right there 'old dee', I seem to remember it being standard practice.

Good advice H_T

I hope everyone remembers the emergencies for the MFC side will be in Brisbane

So no Strauss,Nicholson or Spencer in at Casey this week.

All played very good games last week for Casey

Do they all need to go to Brisbane - not ideal, but take maybe one up with the team Saturday, and put the other two on an early flight Sunday? It would provide some degree of security.

There is a good article on the clubs website about the relationship between mfc and casey, it is a good read. This week we will have between 16 to 18 mfc listed players at Casey with a couple more in the reserves. We don't need a stand alone team we basically have this with Casey. Would love the name to change to the Casey demons just to push the mfc brand more in the casey community. To me this current partnership works great for both clubs and hopefully this is the year that they can get the flag.

Looking back a geelong and the building of their premiership list, it all started by winning the vfl flag with a very young group, this is different to when we won flags at sandy we had good vfl players on our afl list and sandy had very good vfl players. Do we do the same, really have a crack this year to create that winning culture with our young players

Hopefully the relationship is on the improve and Casey are on the improve financially.

Maybe the name can change when it gets to finals time and we make available more than 3 listed MFC players to the club rather than everyone go out for "surgery".

alliance seems to work well except for finals

our players dont seem to whinge to play at casey as much as the saints at seaford

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

Does an mfc membership guarantee free entry to casey home games?

Coupla questions for anyone who may know...

Is there a limit to the amount of MFC listed players that can play Casey seniors? If not, then I'm a bit concerned Barry is in the seconds.

Not 100% sure but I think there is a limit of 12?

Could be wrong tho

Yes there is definitely a limit. I'm not sure what it is though.

...A half useful response.

[drdrake 3,203]

My understanding is the 12 10 rule doesnt exist anymore and we can play a full mfc team if we chose to

Did a bit of research and from what I can find out there used to be a limit of 12 but that was ditched in 2011.

The only limit is players have to play a certain number of VFL games to be eligible for finals.

Don't take it as gospel, but that's the info I've found.

Given that, it's a bit deflating that Barry is playing seconds.

Yes mate.

[dee-luded 2,959]

does anyone know if there's a radio station covering the game?

[KC from Casey 7,130]

Dawes, Hogan & Dunn with early goals give Casey a three goal lead in blowy conditions at Casey Fields.

[Matt Demon 1,571]

Quick start to the Scorps, goals to Hogan, Dawes, Taggert & Dunn. Scorps up four goals to zip.

The Casey Scorpions are supporting the White Ribbon Campaign tonight - it's the campaign against violence on women and congratulations for supporting a very worthy cause.

[KC from Casey 7,130]

Goal to Taggert and the lead goes out to 4.2.26 to 0.1.1.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Good look at part of the future forward combo with dawes and hogan together

[Hellish Inferno 992]

Mids dominating and plenty of forward 50 entries? Or are we making the most of our opportunities?

Plenty of chances, Casey should ne at least 6 goals up. Midfields well on top.

Any word on Barry and Tynan?

[KC from Casey 7,130]

Great start but restricted in the second half of the term. Casey Scorpions 4.4.28 to Williamstown 0.2.2.

The wind advantage is at least that so the Scorps have the task ahead of them in the next term.

Goals: Dawes Dunn Hogan Taggert

[KC from Casey 7,130]

Seagulls get the first two goals of the second term, the first from a turnover from a kick in.

[hardtack 10,859]

According to Twitter, Williamstown have kicked 4 already.
