Here we come. 101-21 at 5:30 into 4th qtr.

[KC from Casey 6,675]

Scorps kick 2 goals to start the quarter!

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?

[Ted Lasso 17,144]

Any of our boys playing well?

[bjDee 1,249]

Rain about to hit. Might reduce our chances of a win. 103-23 now 13 mins gone.

wow roosy was really annoyed with how casey played last week. Wonder what he is thinking today

[Matt Demon 1,389]

Any of our boys playing well?

Short answer.... NO

[bjDee 1,249]

JKH and Blease both been doing well for mine. Fitzy was good in 1st half. Tappy getting a few.

[monoccular 16,437]

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.

We can't allow this to continue. It's farcical that our players should have to walk into this mess.

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."

[DemonOX 8,551]

Sack the coach.

[SaberFang 7,141]

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.

104-29 a after Blease goal. 23 mins gone. Don't give up boys.

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

Hopefully this inspires those fringe players currently in the seniors. Perform or go back and play with this mess.

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.

[KC from Casey 6,675]

Scorps down by 80 points late in the final quarter of what has been an abysmal game.

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

[KC from Casey 6,675]

And that's it - an 80 point defeat

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.

[Ted Lasso 17,144]

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

[jumbo returns 6,547]

Poor pick.

Looong line and history of poor picks.

All picks must be traded this year...best the known.
