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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
