That's the game - Casey Scorpions 16.10.106 to 2.3.15

It was little more than a training drill with hardly any pressure put on the Scorpions from go to whoa.

As far as the Melbourne players we're concerned, they all contributed and few of them put a foot wrong. The problem from the point of view of promotion to the AFL because it simply didn't have the intensity of an AFL game.

Back later.

    My only issue with selection this week is who do you drop? Jones, Howe, Garlett, Tyson didnt give us anything but were not going to drop them.

    Kent had a good first quarter and his run was important. Dawes is good for the forward structure. Frost is our second ruck.

    I don't know - last week it seemed obvious that two of Toump, JKH and Kent were being dropped. I dont think it is so clear this week.

    I'd drop Dawes

    Dawes is not good for structure, Pederson or Fitzy would be a big improvement

    As long as there's no injuries or suspensions I'd make no changes. Give them a chance to atone.

    41 touches between Jones, Tyson & Vince wont happen again!

    Leave Toumpas in the 2s and let the kid get some consistency. Moving him in and out isn't going to do him any favours.

  • Quote

    Vince, Tyson Dawes to go.

    Michie, Matt Jones Grimes to come in.

    Howe returns to forward line

    Can't tell if trolling or not?

    Do you reward those who were good in the first half or first quarter to be exact), or punish those who were terrible in the second half. Because they were pretty much the same bunch.

    • 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?
