Casey Scorpions v Geelong

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Dare i say that the MFC spuds playing aren't doing anything to help

It's more a case of Geelong having a very strong side out there.

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Scorps can't raise a gallop as Cats get the first two goals of the third term. This is going to hurt.

Good to c the MFC players in the magoos are putting their hand up to play in the seniors.

Can we please end the season now and make all appointments ASAP.

Am over all this crapola and season.

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Finally, some life as Casey gets two quick goals to Jetta & Best to get back to 35 points down.

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Raining goals here. Best gets his second and its a 29 point deficit.

The goalkickers to date are Best Hogan 2 Jetta Nicholson Page.

[Hannibal 5,814]

They are cut from the same cloth as Nathan Jones those two.

It doesn't matter.

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Cats answer with a couple and its back to 41 points.

[deanox 9,922]

Thanks for the updates KC.

Any comments on a couple of the young runners for the Scorps? Are Barry or Strauss getting any of it? It also sounds like Rivers has held Hogan since going on to him, or is that more a result of a dominant Geelong midfield strangling supply?

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Three Quarter Time: Geelong 16.8.104 to Casey 7.8.50.

Goalkickers Best Hogan 2 Jetta Nicholson Page

Last four goals of the quarter just when Casey was getting back into the game. Cats are pretty well dominant everywhere and the Scorps resistance was blunted by the blitz in the last 10 minutes.

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Skies are black literally here at Casey Field. Lights on at the ground and off for the Scorps who are down by 10 goals.

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Geelong 18.10.118 to Casey 8.11.59.

Into time on.

It doesn't matter.

It does matter, captains are leaders as far as footy goes - usually men.

Viney, Hogan and Jones are men... Trengove is not a man.

I don't know, maybe it would be easier if I just kept bumping Kingding Alings Jones for captain thread to drill the point around here.

No, it doesn't matter. Players like Viney are way too young no matter what cloth they are cut from.

That is the point I was making. I suspect you're misunderstanding my drift. Don't feel alone.

Final siren and the Scorps are in danger of dropping out of the top four unless they pull their socks up.

Viney is definitely too young for the captaincy, I agree.

Final score Geelong win 19.11.125 to Casey 8.11.59. Scorps in danger of dropping out of the top four.

Anything to hold our hat on for next week? Any players to bring into our main side?

Casey will get a few back, at least they should.

Strauss putting his hand up with almost weekly appearances in Casey's best player list.

I just don't get it!

Why not just let him play the last few games of the season in the back pocket? What have we got to lose? (Would much rather him than a Dunn or Pedersen)

As i said in another thread, I'm pretty sure he ran over NCs cat.

Blease and Strauss should be getting gigs ahead of Pederson and Dunn because Pederson and Dunn are not part of our future.

Dunn is a turnover king and Pederson a spud.

We need to at least see if Strauss is up to AFL, we know Blease is, he is just inconsistent.

Blease in the VFL can be explained, he'll be a demon next year... But Strauss we need to see more of.

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

Surely Strauss would be worth a Run, unsure on Blease, think Kent plays the role we want Blease to play and will become better at it within another year, blease may be the crumbing forward we're after but i am really not sure.

Viney is certainly too young to be captain, make Jones the captain for god sake,

might be worth giving Trengove a run at casey, not that he hasn't been making solid contributions, just to play in a team more likely to win, remember what it's like to dominate games and maybe get used to not having the pressure of being captain of a basket case again?

Would Trengove get a game at Casey?

Blease did and then made the most of that opportunity with a 4 disposal game against North.

If Strauss doesn't get a game this week after another naming in the bests something is wrong.

Does anyone know if the Tynan mentioned is Luke or Josh?

Blease and Strauss are not the replacements for Dunn and Pedersen.

Pedersen was pretty good yesterday actually.

I know, Blease is a replacement for Davey - who stamped his papers this week.

Blease will come in next week, I understand why Blease sometimes gets dropped, it's just a consistency thing.

Maybe they pull their hair out with Blease a bit, which is understandable.

Pederson was ok yesterday and knowing our great club, we will probably reward him with a contract extension.

Strauss hopefully comes in just so we know whether he is even worth persisting with.
