Casey Scorpions v Williamstown


KC from Casey

Recommended Posts

Something's gotta be done about this Casey alignment. Better the seconds than the firsts, but losing like this does no good for anyone's head.

What do you suggest? It's easy for people to say quit it but does that really answer the problem and are we in a position to do it? Do we take over or do we try and work a solution including investing in some good VFL players to bring the squad up to scratch?

Not surprised we are copping a hiding, Kennedy-Harris is the only bloke on that list up to AFL standard.

Hopefully Casey doesn't ruin him.

Regardless of his and the seniors form, he needs to be at least the MFC sub next week to save him from this merde.

I am serious - he wasn't dropped into this cesspit through poor form, it was player management. It could seriously scar him mentally.

Seems pretty clear to me that the Casey listed players are so far from VFL standard, it's bringing down the standard of the MFC players. Nathan Jones could only achieve so much in a team full of duds over the years. Likewise, if any MFC players have unrealised potential in the 2nds, it's wasted when you're getting shanked kicks all day long.

From BF:

"Interesting stat.

There are 10 Casey blokes playing (not including Troy Davis, cos he was ours), to half time only one of them has more than 6 disposals."

And people talk about how it is poor from the 12 Melbourne players. From the stat sheet all looked to be doing there bit, but like last week the other blokes on the ground are a flat out liability

Sack the coach.

I honestly don't know why we don't have an MFC development coach taking charge of Casey. As part of the alignment we give them financial help. But more importantly, now that we have a quality AFL coaching set-up, having them in charge of Casey would benefit a VFL side greatly, but also align with what Roosy is trying to accomplish. It would also help speed up the development of our players and be consistent with training during the week.

Am I allowed to say "You're an [censored]"?

If not, my apologies, Mods please delete. Otherwise ...

Mate get it through your head. Toumpas needs to stand up, he is way off the mark right now and is barely making the Casey Seniors. For what we took him at the draft is a joke right now, if I didnt know any better I would think BP were behind picking him up.

Thanks for speaking sense after bing181 abused me for no reason

Toumpas has been terrible, no doubt about it

Absolute shocker of a pick 4 especially considering the players taken right after him who are dominating at AFL level already

Maybe it shouldn't be quite this bad, but you blokes shouldn't be surprised

Casey are broke (due to losing their pokie license), plain and simple, they could only attract kids the other vfl clubs didn't want

these kids are now tiring as the season lengthens

don't know how much the coach can be blamed if the cattle are not there. that's for others to judge

one should also remember that the alignment produced better results than the seniors up until this year

something will have to be done to inject some money into this club

Your like my father. Never ever could find something good to say about anything. Always managed to find something condescending to say.

It's monotonous and boring

I wish they would bring back the function that allowed people to block posts of others from view. You add nothing, absolutely nothing and I visit this site far less that I used to because its so hard to read..

Bring back the filter, because this place is becoming unreadable.

I see no problem with Toumpas struggling at AFL level. He's a kid after all, and his hips are a work in progress.

Having said that, he needs to be taking charge of his fortunes at VFL level like he did in the SANFL.

He should be banging the door down.

I do worry that Casey is a toxic environment though, and that players are being sapped of their confidence.

Toumpas is averaging 17 touches at afl level and his tackles are improving alot, he is improving but people compare him to McRae and wines which means anything he does do is unnoticed

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    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
