Casey Scorpions v Box Hill Hawks


KC from Casey

Recommended Posts


Great strong contested mark by Gawn again.

I'm a bit disappointed Michie doesn't stand out a bit more.

Haven't seen a lot out of him.

Bit hard when on the HFF for the second qtr. Delivery in has been abysmal. Agree with an earlier post they dont play as a team. Back line run it well but with no sense of purpose.

Can I stream this?

It's on abc

No wonder the afl umpires have no idea, the development umpires have shown today that there is no pressure on any of them, these guys are awful

It is hard, and Michie has since shown up a bit since being more in the middle.

In fact, him finding more of the foot coincided with our burst of goals.

I find our run is stifled a bit by some of the less-experienced or game savvy Casey players.

Just before the end of the quarter Barry was running up the wing, and would have completed so great link play from HBF to HFF but the Casey player (19?) didn't come forward or move, and instead stood flat footed waiting for the looping handball from Barry.

Barry should have been able to keep running and receive the ball back in a 1-2 play, but the Casey player waited for the ball to come to him, letting himself get covered, and didnt move once receiving it, instead trying to return the ball from a stationary position, and getting it smothered, making Barry track back and eventually the loose ball was recovered by the Hawks.

If the Casey player had been moving it makes it a shorter quicker handball, draws the defender, but also gives him space to threaten to wheel around himself so the defender has to commit, providing space for Barry to run the line along the wing, and then receive the ball back and move the ball into the F50.

Simple movement, but it didn't happen, and the play broke down.

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.

I am not worrying about the win either, but it is horrible football and I don't like watching horrible football.

    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
