As most of you would be aware, the VFL has a bye this weekend as there is a State match on against the WAFL in Northam, WA.

The Scorpions will be represented by only one player, skipper Evan Panozza.

Captain of the WA team is Paul Johnson and I guess we'll know if the WAFL team is serious or not if they line him up at full back.

Former Demon Matthew Bate was in the squad but missed the final cut.

Casey sits in second place on the ladder and when play resumes next week, it will play a home match against Box Hill in an ABC televised game.

    I assume you meant Evan Panozza KC.

    The Scorpions' good early form has at least gained them some respect among the bookmakers.

    We're fourth on the sportsbet table now:-

    3.50 Geelong

    5.00 Port Melbourne Williamstown

    7.50 Casey Scorpions

    12.00 Northern Blues

    15.00 Box Hill Hawks

    17.00 Essendon

    21.00 Sandringham Werribee 26.00 Coburg

    41.00 Collingwood

    101.00 Frankston North Ballarat

    2,001 Bendigo

    Living in Brisbane, I have little interest in the VFL other each of Casey's games, but jesus Bendigo must be rubbish. 2000 to 1, when no other side is over hundreds.

    They are basically a brand new team after Essendon severed ties to start their own VFL team. I heard their coach, Aussie Jones interviewed and he said because of their location some players can't even make it to training.

    I can't understand the VFL......Why have a full bye 4 weeks into a season......If they want to be a feeder comp to the AFL they should follow the afl fixture to some extent.....Otherwise clubs will have their own reserves side and have their own comp.....which will destroy the VFL comp...

    • 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?
