Box Hill Hawks v Casey Scorpions

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Sorry do not agree. Playing as a young kid in a senior side getting thumped week in week outis not good for your development.

Don't know that Jack Viney would agree.

But the list of players that was cited above who "should have been played" in the VFL to strengthen Casey in the finals, only includes two "kids", Kent (doing OK in the firsts) and Toumpas (another easy 30 possessions last week).

    Bail has travelled as the emerg to adelaide, so another player one game short for the finals.

    I thought someone posted that he had already qualified.

    I posted that earlier and have checked the VFL sporting pulse details which reveal that, in addition to the 5 games Rohan played for Casey Seniors, he also played for the Casey Development League (seconds) team on 4 August. I presume that qualifies him for the finals.

    What we have done previous years in removing players from selection is not right. Nor would it be right to not promote players in form or drop players earning a spot just so they qualify for the VFL. What has occurred this year with Hogan, Blease and Strauss injured and others one game short is purely bad luck. Toump has had 28 and 30 and deserves to be promoted to play a game in front of family and friends in SA.

    I concur.

    Anyone saying we should keep players back in the Casey side just to qualify them for the VFL finals have rocks in there head. The selectors are trying to pick the best side to win a game for the MFC. As much as I like to see Casey do well who cares who qualifies for finals.

    Its like when local teams stack their twos late in the season to try and win a flag. No one cares who wins the reserves premiership its all about the seniors. Whats the point of winning a twos flag when your ones are [censored]????

    If that were truly the case then Magner would have been in for Pedo.

    The point is the club SHOULD at least show an interest in assisting Casey as it is performing well and gives some of our fringe players (sorry, most players at the MFC are fringe players :lol: ), a chance to play finals football at the next level down against teams that are probably (in some cases) somewhat equal to or in rare cases maybe better than our seniors team because as you said our AFL team is already [censored] / season's done & season over (months ago).

    Thanks KC, c'mon scorps bring it home. How's the big Russian going?

    Breaking even at best but it's his first game back after a break.

    Magner goals and its game on. Casey 7.9.51 to Box Hill 8.10.58.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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.
