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.

    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
