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

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

    Hit a bloody target!

    never been a fan, i'v tried but i just don't like him as a player. Taking up Fyfe's/Dangerfields spot on our list currently ;)

    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.

    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.

    The most accurate post so far on this thread.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • 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?
