Casey Scorpions v Geelong

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

 

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.

    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?

    Three Quarter Time: Geelong 16.8.104 to Casey 7.8.50.

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
