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 was at the game today and after reading through thie thread thought I would make some comments. Box Hill had some serious tall boys up forward, but they won it through some outstanding midfield run

I don't want to be mean to the Casey listed players but there are obvious issues there. I have seen quite a few of their games this year. They are young and small. They have lost too much experience o

Michie had 30 touches and tackled hard all day. Not overly damaging with the ball but certainly wasnt a bad game

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

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.

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

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
