Casey Scorpions v Box Hill Hawks

[deanox 8,585]

Great Mark by Fitzpatrick!

[Machsy 2,856]

Michie clears it from the middle, kicks it 50 and Fitz takes a big contested pack mark at CHF.

Kicks the goal.

Could be a bit sore though.

and goal. well done fitzy. The wounded baby giraffe snags a good grab and follow up goal.

[KC from Casey 6,514]

Jack Fitzpatrick goals and makes it a 5 goal game.

McEvoy miss.

Strauss kicks out, showing one of those cm perfect 45m drop punts I was talking about.

no one is doubting his kicking ability, it is just unfortunate that he is made of glass.

[deanox 8,585]

We've missed shine chances er could have taken. But similar to our AFL opponents we have been taking shots from difficult angles.

Box Hill has class by foot that Casey doesn't.

[chook fowler 18,226]

Mischies tackling is good

[Machsy 2,856]

McEvoy goal for Box Hill in the dying seconds of the 3rd quarter.

ANOTHER great high contested mark for Gawn... But a free gets the ball taken away for shepherding in the marking contest.

[Samael 560]

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.

[KC from Casey 6,514]

Three quarter time and its a 29 point lead to the Hawks.

Can I stream this?

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.

[Redleg 37,578]

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.

[chook fowler 18,226]

is Phil Cleary "all there?"

He's a worry - definitely passed his used by date.

I've spent what feels like the vast majority of my life doing it as a demons supporter.

[KC from Casey 6,514]

Sting gone out of the game as Box Hill kick goal after goal. Lead now 55 points.
