Casey Scorpions v Box Hill Hawks

Featured Replies

 

Really impressed with Gawn - looks a monster and dominating. Effective with his possessions as well.

Nicho is hopeless. Don't mind Bleases game.

 

Blease showed some calmness not to panic and slam it on his boot just at the end there.

Casey are lucky to only be 10 pts down at the change I think.

But as RobbieF said, I hope Roos has told the dees listed players to concentrate on deficiencies rather than the result.

Not just because that looks how they are playing, but because I think that's in their best interests for development.

I reckon Welsh was spot on with the quarter time address, both our seniors and casey need to tidy up skills and decision making, silly errors constantly costing both sides.


Blease impressing. Must be close to AFL selection if he can measure up defensively given offensive threat his turbo speed offers.

Nicholson with an awful clanger.

 

Is Evans playing. Can't see him

Just gave away a free falling into Hartung's back in a tackle.

Also did really well then when Barry kicked it falling short to Evans in between 3 hawks.

Managed to gather and move the ball on by foot in a 3 on 1 situation.

Really good composure by blease a couple of times, he looks to have a much calmer head on his shoulders these days


Barry got burnt for that free kick.

The hawks player just dropped it, but Barry should have been smart enough to not swing him around by the jumper.

Dom Barry - DUMB

Hard when the player has possession and just flicks it behind his back.

He didnt even drop it - he threw it away when tackled.

But yeah, he should have been smarter.


Wow. Nicholson and Blease were both good then, getting the ball out of D50.

The difference was Blease showed a lot more class and composure, and had to because of the quality of Nicholson's original handball.

I'm impressed.

Our skills are killing us


Honestly, if Nicholson handballs to a teammates' feet one more time, I'll pull my hair out.

Hit a bloody target!

 

Wow again.

Some great run and link play by Blease up the middle, giving it off then running to get it again, gaining 70m and hitting the target Tim Smith at CHF.

I honestly think he's going to make it, based on what I'm seeing today.

Wow.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
