Anyone know if radio mentioned if Bail is injured? Haven't seen him out here for quite a while and we do seem to be one rotation down on the bench

I wouldn't worry - the commentators wouldn't be able to identify their own thumb if their life depended on it

All over. Scorps lose by 24 points - poor kicking and a lack of discipline costly.

Casey Scorpions 0.3.3 3.8.26 6.8.44 10.13.73

Sounds like we were umpired out of it!

no standouts overall but best for mine were Toumpas, Grimes, Riley for his second half and maybe Terlich. Don't let the goals tally fool you Pederson was terribly quiet today.

Just driving back from the game now. .

My stand outs are..

Grimes

Spencer

Matt Jones

Fitzpatrick

Toumpas.

In that order.

Out depth isnt what people think it is...just saying

The logical ins for next week would be Grimes for Jetta and Toumpas for Kent.

Some conjecture that Tyson may miss as well.

So Riley gets 24 touches and had his name called twice...

Barely touched it first half when there was a bit more speed in the game. He was only having 5 minute bursts before going to the bench. Second half he was in and under almost every pack and spent a much bigger % of time on ground. Has good hands in close, but his lack of speed and stamina will have him found out in the next level up

What is the standard of our opponent like?

Those pushing for selection have got to be playing excellent footy.

Footscray were fluent and skilled in movement. They'd have about 6-8 blokes who could step into the seniors confidently. Casey worked hard but couldn't string plays together like the opposition.

Riley was great extracting the ball from packs.

Grimes was clean in the contest, he created play and used the ball well through the corridor. I've been a massive knock on him in the past but today he looked good and could step back in.

Terlich was strong in the contest and gave a lot of drive. Put his hand up also.

Toump faded in and out. Has a lot of poise but not sure if you'd line him up on the wing in the seniors and probably a couple in front of him for a back position.

Fitzys fustrating in the sense that with a bit more mongrel he'd be being playing 1's. Won some good contests out of the back line in the last quarter but the game was over.

I don't think it's best to bring toump back in against the ultra pressure of Freo. Let him keep plying his trade unless injury means choice is limited. Sounds like Grimes is a given though. You can guarantee he will be hungry and will do everything to stay there.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
