Casey Scorpions v Geelong

[Whispering_Jack 30,664]

The right hand may well not be aware of what the left hand's doing when it comes to team selection at our VFL affiliate. Jordie McKenzie has been given the tough assignment of playing for Melbourne on Saturday against Carlton and suiting up for Casey a day later against the VFL Cats.

The team:-

B: Jetta Davis Nicholson
HB: Toumpas Panozza Hunt
C: Strauss Trengove Blease
HF: Best Smith Riley
F: Byrnes Fitzpatrick Petropoulos
FOLL: Jamar McKenzie Gent
I/C: (from ) Barry Clisby Ferraro Godfrey Harmes Morris Page Rosier Salem

HB: Godfrey Welsh Westrupp

POSTSCRIPT The above were the teams as announced on the Casey website but subsequently different teams have been posted elsewhere. I'm not sure who to believe but all I know is that it's likely that a team wearing Casey Scorpions colours will run out against a team wearing Geelong colours at Casey Fields on Sunday afternoon. Some of the above players might be in their respective line ups.

And Salem is not an automatic in for the Casey ones?

[Matt Demon 1,482]

That's a pretty strong Casey team.

No Garland or Gawn

[deanox 9,989]

Barry Clisby Salem and Morris named on the bench in the ones but not in twos.

They play ones regardless. The others drop back to the twos of the MFC emergencies all play at Casey I assume.

[Return to Glory 8,448]

You look at this team and it doesn't read as being a mile away from the ones to be honest.

[Return to Glory 8,448]

Maybe that's the problem - a lot of average footballers.

[Machsy 2,858]

I have to keep reminding myself that Nicholson is an MFC player, and not even a rookie at that.

Bloody embarrassing.

[Return to Glory 8,448]

I have to agree Machsy on that one.

[Coup Cooper 610]

We should of delisted Byrnes and taken J Best.

[Allen Jakovich 516]

Don't suppose that Simon Godfrey on the casey bench? Lol.

[stevethemanjordan 6,952]

I have to keep reminding myself that Nicholson is an MFC player, and not even a rookie at that.

Bloody embarrassing.

Id throw in several others playing alongside him and also playing against Carlton.

To be a Melbourne supporter.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,088]

Casey have a tall forward and a ruck to their name. I smell a win coming.

[gsmith12 491]

Would be nice to know the true story about Garland.

Why bother leading us to believe that Col would resume this weekend if untrue.

[old dee 23,872]

Smithy I am astounded you still give any credence to the muttering from the FD about injuries.

I believe now when they run on to the ground on match day

[Machsy 2,858]

I believe he could play this week if we really wanted him to.

But also that Roos is deliberately laying a precedent.

That you may not be dropped for poor form if no one is capable of replacing you.

But you will not be promoted to the senior side unless you have demonstrated that you can perform the non-negotiables at Casey, or at the very least over a period at training.

And making an example of key senior players is a good way to strongly deliver the message to the playing group.

[spirit of norm smith 16,589]

Tapscott and Garland ... More mystery than Poirot!!!

Round 2 Preview

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

I have to keep reminding myself that Nicholson is an MFC player, and not even a rookie at that.

Bloody embarrassing.

don't even get me started. gone at seasons end.

[Axis of Bob 11,844]

He still has something we don't have. Speed.

[Machsy 2,858]

Bewildered to see he has been named an emergency.

[DEE fence 5,039]

I seem to remember when we went well in the reserves, we came good a few years later in the ones, Lovett and others, what Roos was saying about getting the twos right makes so much sense, and it was good to see the goal highlights package from the Windy Hill game. Have to start watching casey more closely.

[spirit of norm smith 16,589]

is Max Gawn injured?

[Pirlo 813]

I believe he could play this week if we really wanted him to.

But also that Roos is deliberately laying a precedent.

Jesus, may as well drop Jonesy for his final quarter then. Garland has to be an automatic in when you're KPD's are Georgiou and Pedersen.

[kieranbj 111]

According to Casey Scorpions twitter account there is a Garland playing for the development squad. Can anyone confirm if that is Colin? If do great news if he getting a half of footy in today.
