Casey Scorpions v Werribee Tigers - VFL First Semi Final

[KC from Casey 6,618]

That was a brief respite as Maric kicks his third.

[This Dangerous 93]

Tom Gillies just isn't good at things.

[KC from Casey 6,618]

Free kick to Werribee gives them a goal late in the term. Deficit is 31 points at Three Quarter Time: Werribee 15.5.95 to Casey 9.10.64.

Goals: Smith 4 Best Gillies Lindsay Taggert

[KC from Casey 6,618]

Couch pushed in the back in the goal square. No free. It's not Casey's day as Bail gets a high tack and again no free. Werribee move it forward and score a point to go to a 33 point lead.

[KC from Casey 6,618]

Gent runs onto the ball and makes it 27 points.

[KC from Casey 6,618]

Casey have switched Gillies to defence and Sellar into attack in a desperate effort to pull the game out of the fire.

[KC from Casey 6,618]

Maric out marks Jetta and kicks his fourth to ice the game.

[KC from Casey 6,618]

Maxy Gawn makes it a certainty by kicking into the hands of a waiting opponent who runs in to make it a 38 point lead to Werribee. The sign of a tired player.

One wonders what might have been had Jake Spencer been available.

[Madness 44]

Big Maxy still has a hell of a lot to learn...

[bing181 8,204]

Don't know that this loss is about one or two unavailable Melbourne players.

[KC from Casey 6,618]

One also wonders what might have been had Jesse Hogan been available because Werribee is marking everything in defence and when Maxy finally takes one, he's tackled and its holding the ball. Scorps trail by 40 points as we approach 18 minutes. Magner gets flattened and goals!

[KC from Casey 6,618]

We are now officially in junk time for Casey for season 2013.

Tom Couch has been fantastic but he hasn't had too many mates.

[KC from Casey 6,618]

Will Petropoulos kicks a long goal from the boundary but its all too late.

So disappointed for the boys. It makes you lament the 2 point loss to the hawks a couple of weeks ago, could have been a series changer.

Interesting stats with Couch and Magner getting lots of it but only one other player getting above 18. It seems similar to the problem Melbourne has with ball winning.

Speaking of ball winning, watching the WAFL, the mighty black ducks have their noses in front against the royals. Old dee's pal Jamie Bennell is dong his usual effort (has he touched it?) and Morton and PJ are playing for the enemy!

[titan_uranus 22,661]

Quite unbelievable, really.

I think that makes it four consecutive years of finishing top 4 but losing two straight finals to be knocked out in straight sets. I think that also makes it three consecutive years where Werribee has beaten Casey in the semi final.

That must mean Casey's lost 8 consecutive finals.

Tough stuff for the Casey players.

Four years that the MFC have done Casey over.

I feel sorry for Casey

From the statts Garlett does not look like he has been more than poor .

What's the news?

mate all available players played as far as I can tell with perhaps the exception of Clisby (unsure went he was out). No one was sent off for surgery unless their season was over anyway.

I thought we could have made a couple extra available to qualify but Melbourne selection cones first for Melbourne players. If we'd have dropped players to be qualified we'd have been crucified in the media and by everyone else.

Does this work?

All the players we want to keep ( including Clisby) were sent on leave so that they can start pre-season on the earliest possible date

We left Casey with the players we intend to de-list......................

Gawn is being delisted?

[Cards13 9,117]

Ben Warren anyone...

[1964nowMORE 449]

Crap result for the casey boys. So keen to see finals progress but again we fall. Really need the demons still playing this time of year so all players are trying to win vfl and push for afl selection.

Interested to see roos impact at casey.
