Casey Scorpions v Williamstown

Featured Replies

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

 

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?

 

Any of our boys playing well?

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


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

 

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."

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.

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

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • 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.
