Casey Scorpions v Geelong

Featured Replies

They are both first-year players. They both have most of the attributes needed to succeed. They just need time.

 

Are they winning us games?

no average players in the worst MFC side in fifty years.

There is a reason Jones spent all that time at box hill.

1 season?

1 season?

Sorry you are right, wrong player.

Still does not change the fact he is average at best.

 

I disagree, and he may be mature, but is still in his first season.

But how on earth can you write off Kent so early, especially considering his output?

Mind boggling.

Not that our statements are mutually exclusive, but I would go as far as saying he has been our 2nd best midfielder this season.


Bit early on Kent, I've seen some glimpses of intelligent play from him to suggest he's worth persevering with...and he's still young and in his first year. Jones, I agree with some of the other posters that he's just a player at this level albeit also in his first year. Hopefully they both improve next year.

As we have easily the worst mid field in the competition and there are 18 teams

They may well say he is the 150th best mid fielder in the competition.

Not much in those terms.

Cannot believe MFC rave about Blease. After watching him yesterday, yeah has great pace but he burns his teams mates. Twice in the first quarter he had the ball on the wing, instead of heading goalward he goes to the boundary and puts himself under pressure and burns the guys further up the ground that have already led. Heard him abuse Tynan because Blease handballed to Tynan and because Tynan gave it to a team mate in better position and not back to Blease, Blease abused him. If Casey want to go deep into finals hope they take Blease back to MFC. Not a team player at all.

Let's be honest, not many average players are going to generate too much excitement in one of the worst teams in history.

  • 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.
