Werribee v Casey Scorpions


KC from Casey

Recommended Posts

The Casey Scorpions return will return to action after a week's rest in the first weekend of the split round facing a real danger game against Werribee who have had the "wood" over them in recent seasons. They play the Tigers (who have knocked them out of the past two finals series at the semi final stage) on Sunday at Avalon Airport Oval which hasn't particularly been a happy hunting ground for the Scorps.

SUNDAY JULY 14

Werribee vs Casey Scorpions at Avalon Airport Oval, Werribee 2pm (Vision Australia Radio, Aussie Digital)

(Development League match at 11am)

Making things interesting is the fact that Werribee will be saddling up in the first semi final of the Foxtel Cup against WAFL side East Fremantle at Patersons Stadium tomorrow night in a game that will be telecast live on Fox Footy from 8.30pm. With a five day break between that game and Sunday and a long trip west and back, the Tigers will be hard pressed to stop Casey's current winning streak despite their home ground advantage.

On another note, bad news for former Geelong VFL player Casey Tutungi who also had a stint with the Casey Scorpions (prior to its alignment with Melbourne) whose family has confirmed that he is a quadriplegic as a result of an accident during a recent local game - Family confirms footballer Casey a quadriplegic. I trust the football community will get behind the player and his family. Another former Casey player, Beau Vernon also suffered a similar terrible injury last year while playing for Leongatha.

This is the website dedicated to Casey Tutungi - http://www.caseytutungi.com/

Please give consideration to helping Casey and his partner who are expecting a child soon.

His injury is a tragedy and, though he wasn't involved at the Scorps in the time of our alignment, I hope Demon fans are generous with their hearts for the family.

An absolute tragedy. Footy can be a brutal game, but at times like these it has a compassionate side. Time for the entire football community to dig deep for Casey, his partner and unborn babe. An important role here for the AFL.

Switched on to the game towards the end of the last quarter. They were playing in a lake! Rain bucketing down, and pools of water on the ground! Me thinks that experience just may take a lot out of Werribee, and make it that much harder for them to back up against Casey. Here's hoping, anyway...!

Looking like a heavy track again this weekend.

Jetta playing in the reserves. Looks like it could be the end for him

Wow. On his form early this year I thought he'd really cement a spot in the best 22, but after his suspension everything just went to shite for him.

All the players named on the extended bench are also named in the field in the development league.

With the exception of Couch! Does that mean that he is a guaranteed starter in the ones?

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
