Footscray v Casey Scorpions - Round 2, 2015

Featured Replies

I can't find a video stream but the casey radio is always good (bareable).

 

Kicking against a strong breeze its tough going for Casey with the Dogs having all the momentum and lead by one goal.

Grimes running through the middle so far today.

Redpath goals to take the bullies lead to 2 goals. Jordan Kelly getting plenty of it for the Dogs. Wind is 3-4 goal wind.

 

3.2.20 to 0.3.3 - Not going well so far by the sounds of it. Love someone at the ground to tell me but it sounds as if Spencer and Gawn have the upper hand of Minson. Hearing Toumpas a lot - Stretch was amongst it early. But the dogs seem to have the ball a lot.

Quarter Time: 19 point margin to the Bulldogs and considering how bad we've played we are lucky to be in the game. 3.4.22 to 0.3.3

From the radio I cant really say who has been the best because those who have had it have had terrible disposal.

From the commentators: 50/50 ruck duel, Free kicks the way of the Dogs

Plapp: not hard enough at the moment. Stoppages +6. Lower our eyes and look for the hit ups. Grimes / Terlich will play loose defender this quarter. Dont go to ground. Being strong in the contest and hold your feet. 2 hands on the ball. I'd prefer you to give a free kick away then let them mark the footy. Get a little c*&t about you (on live radio). Move quick but not reckless.

Much better start for the quarter. Terlcih run and carry, long kick to Pedo mark inside 50 and goals.

Some disposal issues are holding Toump back at the moment. Getting plenty of it but it needs to be better with the ball use. McKenzie and Bail getting more of it.

Bail ignores a Gawn lead and takes the goal himself.

3.4 to 2.3

Follows with another centre clearance into the forward 50. After some argy bargy in the forward line Kelly (Dogs) hacks it out to a marking Toump. 50m out and it fades left for 3.4 to 2.4.

Much better so far by the Scorps.

Kick out gets knocked out of bounds. 30m from the Casey goal. Pedo snaps for his second and it is now even.

Pedo, Grimes and Toump are putting their hands up. Gawn and Spence are also doing well. An issue that these 2 are having is that by sharing the role (which they are doing wel) they are counteing each others effectivness.

Bullies get one back - 4.4 to 3.4

McKenzie and Toump spending plenty of time in the middle. Havent heard much from Jones (but is that the commentators?). Toump clears from the 50 - to McKenzie and another inside 50 but a bad one (by a Casey mid - not McKenzie). Better defence by us this quarter. And apparently Gawn has lost his beard!!!

If it is Toumpas that they keep calling Toumpas he is being recalled this week. Sounds like 15-20 touches so far.

Brett Goodes now has 7 free kicks. 7! To Redpath and he goals. 5.4 to 3.4 - we are doing well out of the back 50 lead by Toump but we are doing going well inside 50.

Dee-liciois you are a superstar for your reports so far.

Appreciating the great work.

Cheers mate

8! It is now 8!

Goodes is killing us. Kelly is doing well and we really dont have an answer for Redpath as the mids arent putting enough pressue on the kicks coming in.

21 frees to 7. Sound familiar?

22 to 8 now

Stretch kicks a behind.

Edited by Dee-licious


What do you think Wayne - do we have any chance? They just seem too quick.

Stretch kicks another behind.

25 -7 free kicks and we are really giving them away. I guess we followed Plapp's instructions

3.8.26 to 6.4. 40. We have the wind this quarter and it is not going well.

Bail contested mark from the kick-in but the quarter ends.

Best for me so far are the usual suspects - Toump, Pedo, Spence, Gawn. Stretch is tagging Goodes now and hopefully quell his impact in the second half.

Pedo has 2, Bail has 1

Toump 15; Spence 12; Grimes 11; Harmes 10; Riley 9

An enquiry at half time has established that at least one of the Casey Radio commentators and two of the umpires barrack for the Bulldogs!

    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?
