Box Hill Hawks v Casey Scorpions

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
