Casey Scorpions v Collingwood


KC from Casey

Recommended Posts

Pretty sure Tommy Mac didn't play for Sandy. The only game I saw him play was for Casey and he was pretty impressive then...

I'm pretty sure that he played for Sandy. It doesn't really matter.

Omac just looks like, and plays like, Tmac. He was placed in a key defensive post all game, and impressed.

I neglected to mention Harmes. This is the first time I have seen him live and he was very impressive. He takes a nice mark for someone of shorter stature and really has a go. As a local rookie, we have to delist him or upgrade him at the end of the season. I would think we will stick with him.

He never played at Sandy. Debuted for Casey in 2011.

Doesn't hurt to research..

Was drafted from North Ballarat rebels.

I am relying on my faulty memory. I used to go to a lot of Sandy games when we were aligned with them. It still tells me I saw him playing for Sandy, sad that.

Harmes really impresses me. The 2 things that stand out are his contested marking and his quick movement of the ball. He does make the odd mistake because he's prepared to take the game on, but I can wear that. His game translates more to AFL level than that of Michie, Bail, M. Jones and Mckenzie. I'd love to see him upgraded asap, and given a chance to show what he can do.

You're right, it doesn't really matter in the context of what you were saying. I was a bit worried about my faulty memory.

I was really impressed with Tommy in the VFL game I watched him in. I didn't know who he was at the time so had to ask an oppo supporter who number ....was.

If O Mac is heading in the same direction it's got to be a good thing for us.

Melbourne was already in its current alignment with Casey by the time Tom McDonald was drafted.

He played most of his debut season in the VFL making his debut late that year, a few weeks after 186.

The confusion over Sandringham may well be due to the fact that he played an outstanding game at TBBO in about mid season that really opened many peoples' eyes as to his future possibilities as an AFL player. I agree that brother Oscar seems to be following the same course.

KC can you tell me more about Tom Muir? I believe we got him from Glenelg as a forward but has now been playing a midfield role. I watched him the other week and his skill stood out and the fact he was quite versitile and agile for his size.

Is he a chance to be rookied at the end of the year? He is the proto type midfielder of 192cm tall and an run all day. If their was one Casey player id love to rookie it would be him.

He's a Gippsland boy who spent last year in the SANFL and came back home this year. I would call him a good VFL footballer. He played well in a losing game a few weeks ago at Port Melbourne but doesn't get enough of the football for mine. Not sure if you're right about him being able to run all day but a solid AFL pre season could help. I'd have him as an outside possibility for a rookie spot at best.

Yeah, hoping he gets a run soon. Had a few games last year of 30+ possessions in between injuries. Seems to be playing a bit of a different role this year around the packs but has very clean hands and looks confident.

I thought it was his best game for the season, he got himself to a lot of contests today through hard work running. He reminds me a lot of his brother with the way he reads the play so well. Right now what he needs to do is drastically build up his core strength as he still gets to easily pushed aside by players shorter than him. He's not ready for senior footy this year but one we can enjoy watching develop over the next couple of years

This is a player who excites me. I think of Tom with good kicking skills and that would be a very handy addition in the next couple of years. I like the way the list is balanced with frost to add to our talls which allows Oscar to develop where he should and not being thrown to the wolves.

Just finished watching the replay and few notes:

ANB was excellent in close. He made a lot of very good decisions and his close movement means he often finds a bit more space than he should. He executes really well. He reminds me of Lachie Neale a bit.

Tyson was the probably BOG. His class was evident and he just found ways to create space. You can tell he's used to a higher level as he had so much time. He was so, so clean with the footy.

I though Harmes was excellent. Probably the best game I've seen from him. He has great attributes (pace, strong overhead, reasonably good skills) but he really found a way to get involved in the game. He appeared to work hard defensively too, which is promising. He is a player that will do a few things a game that make you go "Woah, that's impressive", but this game he managed to get himself more involved and actually impact the result. Really good signs.

I'm impressed by White. He is a player who you don't feel should impress, especially with his weird running style, but he does a lot of things really well. He kicks it beautifully, is very strong overhead and is, surprisingly, a really sound defensive player. I don't know how, but he's always on the hammer of his opponent and spoils well with the body. I think I need to have a good look at him live, because there's something happening with him, but I don't know what it is. I think I'm confused about his pace, because he doesn't look like he should be quick, but I'd love to see whether that's right or not.

McDonald moves like his brother, but needs a lot more bulk. But there's a lot to like.

A bit like Dane Swan in that regard?

Seeing the footy at Casey is FAR better than the G. You can walk on the ground and listen to the coach and the line coaches, wander around at will and get up real close to the action.

And the Bacon Rolls are the best in Victoria. Coffee is garbage though.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
