BOXED IN by KC from Casey

The Casey Scorpions' promising start to the 2013 is stalling. After winning the first four games of the season in impressive fashion and then coming close to ending Port Melbourne's long undefeated run of home wins, they crashed to earth at Casey Fields on Saturday.

Casey kicked the opening goal of the game against the Box Hill Hawks when Mitch Gent roved a pack and kicked truly, but then conceded two by way of frees in front of goal and, after that, were never allowed back into the game apart from a brief flutter early in the second term when Jake Best kicked truly to reduce the gap to two points.

The breeze that had been nothing more than a mere zephyr at the start of the game had stiffened by the start of the second term and this was to be of great significance for the contest. After Best's goal it was all one way traffic as the Hawks combined brilliantly and moved the ball with pinpoint accuracy as they ripped the Casey defence apart kicking eight unanswered goals in the space of less than twenty minutes to go to a 50 point lead before a Dominic Barry goal stemmed the flow a little.

To compound matters, Casey was extremely wasteful when its turn for the use of the wind came after half time. They kicked 3 goals 8 behinds in the third term, the inaccuracy snuffing out any hope of a major revival. The visitors cantered away in the final quarter to win by 60 points and delivered a crushing blow to Casey's prospects for the season.

With Melbourne's growing injury list and the Demons' policy of holding back two emergencies for their games, the Scorpions were down to just ten Demon listed players plus youngster Jesse Hogan who was quiet and restricted to just a single goal.

Cam Pedersen was a tower of strength all day and Tom Couch worked hard despite a tag while Jake Best and Mitch Gent were the best of the Casey listed players.

The Scorpions face another tough test under lights at Skilled Stadium on Friday night against ladder leaders Geelong who will be smarting after their first loss of the season at the weekend.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
