Excellent. Clearly the game plan wasn't working and needs a shake up. This has PJ and PR written all over it.

Another step in the right direction.

    I think I recall Roos saying something about Plapp recently (B&F speech or in his end of year interview with Burgo) seemed to single him out and sounded like he had a bit of time for him, so hopefully they will be both on the same page in terms of Casey in 2015

    It does indeed. For those who defended Welshes intemperate and unprofessional public remarks i think you have your response from the club

    ... struggling,

    He ran them all ragged

    Till they all looked quite haggard

    And gave all the slackers the strap. Boom! Boom! :blink:

    Who gave all his players the clap

    Could be wrong, but thouht I read that Plapp had been doing some opposition analysis/fwd scouting for us on an ad hoc basis this year. Perhaps that was his audition? Good luck to the boy.

    Comes as a bit of surprise.

    Not really, he has been working behind the scenes with the MFC all year in development and as a scout.

    Why KC? And I ask because I assume as others have that this has a fair bit of MFC in it, or would I be off the mark?

    The surprise is that Rohan Welsh has been discarded only weeks after General Manager Matt Young waxed lyrical about him. I get that they've always wanted a full time coach but the message we were getting was that Welsh was the best thing since sliced bread. It sounds like there's more to this than meets the eye.

    Surely Welsh cleared his desk the moment Young said that?

    Was that written by a guy called Wordsworth? No mention of daffodils though.

    Fixed:

    The firsts had a player called Clark
    Got into the photography lark.
    From daffodils to nudes
    (though nothing too crude)
    Ended up at Kardinia Park.

    I doubt you'd chance across poetry on a forum for any other club...

    The once was a player called Hird

    Thought his shlt didn't smell like a turd.

    From Essendon?

    As someone who believes that 'fun names to say or shout' should be at least half of all recruiting decisions, I am thrilled.

    And since everyone is dropping limericks...

    There once was a coach named Plapp

    Who's methods were causing a flap

    He told all the Scorps

    To unload a few torps

    Then went home to take a good nap.

    Good to see that nobody around is getting into a flap about Plapp.

    This article by Paul Amy is good enough 4 me.

    Sandringham Dragons mentor Justin Plapp has been appointed coach of VFL club Casey Scorpions

    It was a tough year for Rohan Welsh. He was deprived of the usual array of VFL standard players to back up the Demon listed players because many moved on at the end of last year and some of his key players were missing for long periods of time with injury. He had very little in the way of tall timber available due to the well documented problems the club had with injuries to rucks and KPPs.

    But with so many NQR Demons and a very young group of mainly lighter bodied VFL listers the team struggled and simply wasn't well enough equipped to play the defensive style footy expected from them as part of the alignment. They were difficult to watch and it was little wonder that they didn't attract the crowds. A lot more needs to be done to win over the local community so a new direction is certainly welcome.

    Off topic and flogging a dead horse but...

    There was a new coach named Neeld

    Whose Demons once took to the field

    It started with hope

    And ended a joke

    And his contract was later repealed

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
