KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Salem told the crowd at the Victory Room pre match last Sunday that his quad would stop him playing this weekend. He had it strapped Monday and was on light duties at training. Looking like a quicker than expected recovery atm.

    Final score in the early game and the Borough have thrashed the Scorps by 112 points. It's looking like the precursor to an ugly day if you're a Demon fan. Fourteenth placed Casey seniors now take on top of the ladder Port (they're two games clear) while 17th placed Melbourne take on top of the ladder Hawthorn.

    The Scorpions have performed worst this year against experienced hard bodied teams - Port are exactly that.

    Casey are kicking with the aid of a strong breeze and have the early lead 1.1.7 to 0.0.0.

    Jack Fitzpatrick kicked the first goal of the game after taking a solid mark.

    Haven't watched him play but this Best kid has been consistent this year in front of the big sticks. Is he worth a punt in the seniors?

    Good to see Fitzy amongst it already.

    (looking for some early positives on what promises to be a testing day ...)

    Port got on top late in the quarter and lead by 9 points - 4.5.29 to 3.2.20.

    Scorpions in trouble because the Borough have the use of the wind coming up.

    Rucks are Davis and Fitzy. Doing ok - port are not tall in the ruck. Salem Clisby Harmes Nicho Fitzy all getting good ball time. Terlo has butchered a couple. Giorgiou is on a monster of a bloke put playing tough and smart. Strauss has made some nice deliveries off half back and from kick ins.

    Magner has butchered a couple for Port too.

    Half time Port Melbourne 10.11.71 lead a bedraggled Casey 3.2.20. The Scorps were woeful that quarter and failed to score.

    All AFL list players were quiet that quarter. Of them, the best in terms of touches was probably Clisby. Georgiou continued his tough battle down back and it became spiteful at times. Alex copped a jab to the face off the ball behind the umpires backs but got his own back by putting Andre the Giant on his arrse with a solid shirtfront bump.

    Port just playing free running play on footy, hand balling to overlapping players across half back and out of the middle, then shooting at goal on the run or out of packs at every chance. Most of them came off. Casey seem far less asventurous by comparison even when we had the wind.

    Might be time to move closer to the bar.

    Alex was put down in the goal square behind the play by Andre while waiting for a shot on goal to be taken. Looks very groggy. Lots of jumper pulling by Scorps on Port players. Both players came off.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
