Toumpas and Strauss have great skills but I don't feel like either is damaging, both could be game breakers with their quality skills

I put the mozz on him.

After talking up Strauss he delivered a beautiful drop punt to a leading Casey player in the middle... That landed about 7m short of its target.

Yeah I noticed that, thought as he was about to kick it he is about the only player in the team I was happy to see attempt a kick like that,

I hope if we de-list him we give him a crack as a rookie, I still think there is something there

Georgiou today has shown why he deserves to be in the 1s and why he should again play in the firsts.

Forget Mr. Bean. He's Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde.

A score - a point to Best. That's how bad this is - I'm getting excited when Casey scores a point!/quote]

Should have run into a goal, but was tripped and put back on a tough angle for a free.

Clever professional free by the hawks player, if it was intentional.

It would have been a damaging kick if it hit the target, because the player was about 5m equi-distant from 3 hawks, but I think Strauss was expecting his teammate to lead harder and the target never made it to the fall of the ball.

Anyway, just what I'm watching now, some of these young Casey-listed players are too easily pushed off the ball.

When we're supplying Barry and Toumpas, it doesn't bode well.

Again, Blease just ran with the footy, ran into trouble, but stayed composed and found a target.

He then kept running and received the ball back, ran himself into trouble again, and again stayed composed and found a decent target.

The ball ended up being turned over another possession later, but I'd out that down to his teammates unnecessarily panicking and coughing it up.

Against the box hill hawks, I'd say that's pretty impressive.

Serious progress from Blease.

Rubbish handball to Blease from Georgiou, over his head and out of bounds.

Not a great decision when Georgiou was playing on from a free kick.

Now Gawn has a free paid against him to McEvoy, kicking a goal after the siren.

Casey 2.2.14 Box Hill 52

Half Time: Box Hill Hawks 7.10.52 to Casey Scorpions 2.2.14

Goals: Fitzpatrick Smith

Disposals: Blease 15 Evans Georgiou Michie 12 Gawn 11 Kennedy-Harris Nicholson 10

Key forward Tim Smith - injured shoulder.

I hope they don't lose the plot and fall apart in the second half like we have most of the year.

Liking Blease, Gawn and Georgiou.

Blease especially is looking damaging which is great.

Not much else to get excited about

Nicho really breaking the lines

...then turning it over, unfortunately. How was that dinky kick directly to his opponent that resulted in McEvoy's first goal.

Posted

never been his problem, his disposal by hand and foot is absolutely atrocious. And has never gotten better.

Didn't see first quarter but his disposal was fine second.

Posted

i can't watch any more. this is just horrible

The most accurate post so far on this thread.

Depends on your perspective.

I have never watched Casey because I want them to win.

I don't care about the result.

I only want to see how the MFC-listed players are developing and what they can maybe contribute to the AFL side.

There's still another half of opportunities to see them and what they can do.

That's all I'd ever be watching Casey for.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
