Practice Match - Casey Scorpions v Williamstown

[Matt Demon 1,501]

Viney gone for the day with concussion.

[Return to Glory 8,448]

Geeez

[Whispering_Jack 30,753]

Quarter time and after scoring the first two points, Casey have gone into a shell and most of the game is being played in Willi's half.

Casey 0.2.2 Williamstown 3.7.25

Max Gawn has been good when in the ruck and around the ground and Nev Jetta has done well in defence but poor disposal has led to continual turnovers.

Like last week's game with Melbourne there doesn't seem to be anybody in the forward line. The coach has a lot of work to do with this team.

Can you confirm Jack Viney done for the day ?

Can you confirm Jack Viney done for the day ?

Ran straight down the race but it could be a precaution. Don't expect to see him line up next week against St. Kilda.

Unfortunate. How about JKH? Are there any players we could put into the AFL side to remotely resemble a forward line?

[Whispering_Jack 30,753]

Williamstown exerting extreme pressure with their tackling and crowding the Casey forward line. Ten minutes in and Casey still goalless.

[Return to Glory 8,448]

Evans?

[Don24 103]

Tappy?

[Whispering_Jack 30,753]

At last a goal to Casey through Nathan Page. Scorps 1.5.11 Willi 3.7.25 after 17 minutes into the second quarter.

Pickles Evans is playing well and Casey gets its second in a minute, this time through recruit Ed Morris.

[Whispering_Jack 30,753]

Tim Smith, the only tall forward gets Casey's third and suddenly it's a two point game.

[chook fowler 19,594]

with a Godfrey in the line up Casey can't lose!

[Whispering_Jack 30,753]

Half time and Casey kept the visitors scoreless while scoring four goals. Nicholson kicked a goal coming down from defence, earned a 50m penalty and kicked truly.

The story of the day is the form of Max Gawn in the ruck. Getting better as the game goes on and now we need to see if he comes out after half time and is capable of reproducing that for 100 minutes.

Casey 4.6.30 to Williamstown 3.7.25

[Disclaimer: I'm one of Max's sponsors but that hasn't coloured my view.]

Lol...

Interested in how Salem and Hunt are going 'Jack'.

[Whispering_Jack 30,753]

Whispering Jack's half time exclusive.

Paul Roos is here with his two sons (I think). They just ordered sausage rolls and chips from the canteen and bought a pack of lollies (snakes?). I hope the club nutritionist isn't here as well.

Tony Elshaugh's hanging around, presumably spying for St. Kilda.

FFS, Viney needs to start wearing a helmet.

FFS, Viney needs to start wearing a helmet.

Needs to be smarter in his attack of the footy in a contest.

[Whispering_Jack 30,753]

The first two goals of the quarter to Willi who are back in front by 8 points.

[Whispering_Jack 30,753]

After numerous turnovers Casey concede another goal. This is ordinary looking stuff.

Oops ... another snap and suddenly Willi leads 50 - 30.

[Whispering_Jack 30,753]

Another passage of play where a turnover from Casey gifts Willi a goal. This is awful stuff.

[Whispering_Jack 30,753]

Ball turned over, only a point this time. The Willi players on the bench are having a bit of a giggle.

[Whispering_Jack 30,753]

Twenty-one minutes into the game, the mistakes continue and for the last 10 minutes there hasn't been a player in Casey's forward half. This stuff is virtually unwatchable.

[Whispering_Jack 30,753]

Snap from 50m and Willy stretches its lead to 35 points and then just to cap things off, another turnover (the word of the quarter) results in a goal to Williamstown on the siren. Score 10.12.72 to 4.6.30.

Yes, there is a bit of a wind but Casey's style of play is also a major contributor.

Come on WJ, I would think it would probably sit in the lower end of unwatchable performances.

Viney out again

Wonderful
