Bendigo v Casey Scorpions


KC from Casey

Recommended Posts

I noticed the same thing. Still criticism, but all constructive and much more encouraging. I have no problem with reviews like this.

I can't believe others can''t see the vfl reviews are written after they've decided if they'll make any changes. I predict quite a few changes this week. Blease is a certainty IMO. Hope he goes ok. Hard to see him going worse than terls.

If Gawn had 87 hit outs in an apparently putrid win and was not named in the best, I would like to know where his hit outs actually went. He must have been flailing about in the ruck like Peter Garrett in his prime.

He was named in the bests.

Those numbers are heartening, even if it was against a side that has decided to fold. A loss would've been a disaster, so they avoided that and hopefully grabbed some confidence out of it.

Will be surprised if at least two inclusions aren't made from this lot. Wouldn't complain if it was three or four.

Tackle counts from Blease & Michie were especially pleasing.

Hope this works. I am a techosaurus.

Interesting read. Doubt JKH is in the mix but Strauss, Blease and Michie might be.

Would have thought a comment that JKH is in 'good form' is a good start.

Also pleased to see Michie and Clisby noted for their improvement. They'd been treading water all year so good to see them both take the feedback on board and get better this week (obviously a rather large grain of salt with Bendigo, but improvement nonetheless).

From the player reviews on the club website:

He was really dominant, when in the ruck, having 87 hit outs for the day, playing on a much smaller ruckman. We found while Max’s ruck work was dominant, we weren’t getting a huge advantage due to our mids and Max not being on the same page with the hit calls. It’s something we’ll continue to work on with him. Max worked really hard throughout the day and followed up his ruckwork really well.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
