Coburg Lions v Casey Scorpions

Featured Replies

Could also be poor coaching, especially if there's a lack of real support for the Roos style as has been rumored before...

Lets not go there again or give any credibility to an unsubstantiated rumour. Check through the threads again and there were others 3-4 posters who were in that huddle when the alleged comment was made and they were all a lot more adamant then the poster who made that inference.

I wouldn't think so, I can't see Jordie breaking into a midfield consisting of Jones, Vince, Viney and Tyson, then there are others well ahead of him.

McKenzie has found his level at VFL.

Come to think of it, it probably started when the new upgrade came through on the App over the last couple of days.

Hopefully they fix it asap cause along with Demonland its my AFL info life line so to speak.

Gametime, all internet delivery of (radio) commentary is through AFL.COM.AU

 

Instead of which three players?

Well I suppose it depends if you think Toumpas & Salem are going to cement themselves as best 22 by year's end.

And it also depends if you think Evans or Kent are better users of the footy than Matt Jones and whether that means they are better options long term.

Did Strauss play, or have I missed him being injured yet again?

If you have the AFL app, it blocks out SEN and Tunein whenever there's a game on

Yep understand that but even outside of game time SEN is not connecting, frequently getting the message of the server being down

No, but to his credit he isn't going back and sulking like some players in the past. He is getting good numbers and putting pressure on and more power to him.

Jordie has had to fight every step of the way to get into AFL football so I won't count him out just yet.

I'll always have time for Jordie McKenzie, because he always gives 100%. You can't ask for any more than that.

And it's still down this morning.

Will ring them today to c if they know and will let u know the response.

Cool thanks for letting me know. Was just about to call them.

Not sure about u P but for me as an interstater the SEN app is invaluable.

The sooner it gets working the better.

I agree, but The Age have done their best to make Welsh sound like a DH in this article:

http://m.watoday.com.au/afl/afl-news/demons-improvement-lifts-spirits-says-forward-jack-fitzpatrick-20140518-zrgia.html

But Demons development coach Rohan Welsh, who is also the coach of the Scorpions, said there were far too many mistakes from the 13 Melbourne-listed players who played in the shock loss to the Lions at Coburg City Oval.

Youd want to hope that some of these blokes want to play senior footy but [if] they keep making mistakes like that ... every week they come with excuses why theyre not getting a game and [ask] 'why arent I getting picked', Welsh said.

You just have to watch the tape, the answers are all there right in front of you. I dont think theyve got a case to answer.

Welsh admitted later that Fitzpatrick worked pretty hard all day and Sam Blease, who had 23 touches, was all right in the first half.

Wasn't aware that Welsh is also the Demons development coach, implying that he is employed by MFC.

I'm not exactly sure of that arrangement, but I thought Welsh was Casey's appointee and theirs alone.

Some may say he was being harsh but fair, although I think it's a bit rich to put all the blame squarely on the MFC listed players and publicly putting words in their mouths.

I think we've seen with Roos, and a timely reminder in the form of Hafey's passing, that being a hardass DH might get you far, but chances are that supportive constructive feedback and encouragement will get you a lot further.

What were Welsh's credentials as a player again?

The guy is making himself sound like a goon. At the end of the day the standard of the VFL players is not good enough to have a winning team. Melbourne players may make mistakes, but our general list strength in my opinion is poor. Especially in key positions, this being said Hogan was responsible for a lot of goals last year

Funny how he smacks our players yet look who he names in the best.. all Melbourne players. Maybe his Casey players need to pull thdir fingers out and stop relying on our players to do all the hard work. Some of our young players are there to just develop their game.

Always said Welsh wasn't the right man for the job and got hounded down a couple of weeks ago.. Reeks of Neeld like qaulities with us public spray on our players.

good to see Michie get BOG

Im not as high on him a a lot of others here, but it early days and nobodys really seen much of him

And it's still down this morning.

Will ring them today to c if they know and will let u know the response.

A pocket radio is much cheaper than a smartphone and can't be blocked by the AFL. If you're in broadcast range.

At the end of the day, I think it's the exodus of senior talent from Casey that has hurt Casey, not the MFC-listed players.

Having talented kids straight out of the TAC cup system will see you compete for 3 quarters then drop away.

A couple of years into them, and it'll be a good side.

If they stay.

Maybe Welsh figures the MFC-listed players can handle a bit of criticism from him, moreso than the kids he has to get more out of and then hopefully keep longterm. He's on a hiding to nothing, but might be better off saying a lot less and not throwing anyone under the bus.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
