Geelong v Casey Scorpions

Featured Replies

Posted

This game is a special fixture and is being played tomorrow night (Friday) Sunday at Skilled Stadium at 6pm 1pm, a ground possibly too far for me to attend given its distance from my work and the time of the game.

Appreciate if any fans can keep us all informed as to what's happening.

I'll be back with the teams later this evening.

 

Great work (or luck) from the Scorps getting involved in the first game at skilled under lights!

Thanks AJ.

If you could keep a keen eye on Fitzy during the game it would be appreciated. There's a lot of noise in support of him making the main team so an opinion would be great.

The only MFC listed players who played in the development league game today were rookie Nathan Stark and NZ international Maia Westrupp.

Rory Taggert will probably play for Casey seniors tomorrow.

Blease and Strauss starting positions is puzzling to me

I'd love a report on Mitch Clisby, he's battled a few injuries (Hamstring and shin soreness) but when fit has played well and started games racking up the touches.

I think he's a cheeky chance for rookie elevation in the second half of the year.

Blease and Strauss starting positions is puzzling to me

Strauss is in Perth so don't worry too much about that one. Not sure if both or just one of Gillies and Spencer are in Perth as well. For Casey's case I particularly hope Spencer will be be at Geelong.

I'd love to see Blease in the backline but I feel it would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater particularly considering he strung good games together up forward last year. Plus Terlich, Watts, Jetta, Clisby and Strauss are all being developed as small defenders. We can't send everyone to the bacline to find form.

Ah ok, I just did not seem him on the final side on the VFL website.


First four now. Scorps defensive work and intensity around the contest is good but letting themselves down with horrendous delivery inside the forward 50. Few drops of rain now.

Quarter time score Casey 0.6 v Geelong 4.1 after Hogan hit the post after the siren after taking a pack mark over three Geelong players. Casey had more inside 50s but disposal going in so bad. At one stage Hogan had twenty metres on his opponent and Sam blease kicked the ball another twenty over his head!

Goal to Hogan. Clisby has been good. cats by 13 points.


Another to Hogan after stirring run from Pederson out from the last line of defence.

Clisby and fitz combine for a goal to put Casey 8 points down at half time.

 

Thanks so much AJ

Liked to hear 4 youngsters going well - Kent, Clisby and Hogan, Fitzy

Don't know to much about Clisby but he seems to have more class and potential than most rookies - anyone think has more potential than the Nicho or Bail, Couch types?

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
