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.

Sorry you are right, wrong player.

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.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
