Strange that Alex Carr, Morrish Medal winner in 2014 from Gippsland Power would go to Williamstown. Tough to get into their team and Casey would provide better (closer) development. Casey has to at least attract Gippsland youngsters like Ed Morris.

As a standalone VFL club Willy might actually be better for opportunities. And he may well be moving to the area of study/work etc. So I don't think unless you know the facts you can say either way. I think it's important we have a pathway with Gippsland, but I don't think it's a case that it's a failure to not get everyone.

    I have no affiliation with Gutnick but this view is mis-worded or just wrong. Either way it gets up my frock.

    If Joe had not thrown $3 million into the ring we would not exist. He didnt cheat or make the wrong decisions. He hired the executives he was advised to and they seemed to be competant. Nobody then knew how how badly they phoned in their work.

    Dont forget a few here who still pot Joe were behind Szondy. Money talks and BS it seems stinks forever. /end rant

    Not mis-worded - and definitely not wrong. Many here who backed Szondy were really backing Robbie Flower.

    Men like Ian Dicker, David Evans, David Smorgon and Peter Gordon managed to donate considerably more to their respective clubs than Szondy's predecessor ever donated to his. - without arranging even one headline article. But then of course, their principal motivation wasn't self-promotion

    2.7 million.

    Correct - and a fair chunk of that was "in kind" - like free access to underused properties..

    The 2014 VFL fixture came out during the week.

    Highlights:

    The Casey Scorpions will start the season at home against Frankston in Round 1.

    Round 6 will see the Scorpions host a night game against Richmond at Casey Fields.

    New coach Justin Plapp will not have to coach against his old club Williamstown till Round 18.

    Casey plays 11 games against 2014 finalists.

    With Bendigo Gold out of the competition, there will be a bye every week and each team will have two byes for the season with the Scorpions' byes coming in Round 7 & 11.

    Really keen to know KC.........

    Is there any possibility of a name change to the Casey Demons ?

    Until and unless there is - many will continue to regard the Casey- Melbourne affiliation as a temporary one.- which is no good for either club.

    The suggestion that Melbourne's VFL-affiliate might play at Punt Road is an illustration of that temporary mind-set.

    Does Shannon Byrne's appointment reflect stronger oversight from Melbourne than may have been the case previously?

    Believe Alex Carr may have a brother who plays for Willy. Might be the reason.

    • 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.
