Casey Scorpions v Coburg

[chook fowler 18,392]

It's great to have a tall who can mark and kick - a rare commodity. Could be a similar type to Joe Daniher.

Big Max King with 5 sausage rolls if you don't mind.

[Bay Riffin 1,426]

You have to give credit to bail and jones for still giving their all to get a win for Casey. Still important they keep pressure on anyone who doesn't perform.

[Adzman 2,085]

Was at the game today. Spencer ran hard all day,and Bail and Jones had plenty of it. Oscar McDonald was handy, and King had a blinder.

Not sure if anyone is an automatic in next week, but Jones and Bail put their hands up. King isn't ready just yet, got the better of his opponent today but he will be tested against the really good backman. Hopefully he can build on today's performance.

Interesting seeing Cale Morton running around.

Thoughts on how Harmes went Adzman?

King developing well could be absolutely huge for us.

Jones & Bail's numbers are a fair indicator of the gap between VFL & AFL standards and pace of game. Both unable to take the next step to impact in the big league so far.

To be fair, while I don't disagree with the above statement, they would play majority of their game time in the midfield when they're in the VFL hence the high possession numbers.

When they're called up to Melbourne side they're assigned specific roles, generally defensive forward roles and therefore don't get those numbers that people are expecting to translate from their VFL form.

King is only 19 years old, making this bag of 5 goals an ever greater achievement,. and stands at 200 cms if you dont mind

Why was Kennedy Harris playing in the development league?

Why was Kennedy Harris playing in the development league?

coming back from injury - probably played 50% game time or something

[DeeSpencer 23,459]

Why was Kennedy Harris playing in the development league?

My theory is he would've been on restricted minutes. With 4 bigs in the Seniors - King, Dawes, Spencer, Jamar - it wouldn't have been smart to have a guy sitting on the bench after using up his minutes.

Playing JKH in the D League allows us to play King in the seniors as a [censored] for tat by doing the right thing by Casey.

Thoughts on how Harmes went Adzman?

Harmes played well.No doubt he is someone to watch. Had more of an influence than McKenzie and seems to read the play well.

Whats his outside game like? We seem to have a lot of inside mids

[Gator 16,921]

King has great skill for a tall man. Shows real talent. I'm sure the club has a long-term view.

Every club wants a 'forward ruck' as opposed to a 'ruck forward' for that second up role and King should develop into a Hale type.

[titan_uranus 22,749]

Great to see Casey get the win, and also great to hear King play well. Will obviously want to see him do it a few times before he is in the seniors, and who knows the quality of the defender he had given Dawes and presumably Spencer/Jamar were down there too, but exciting times.

He won't be in number 47 next year if he keeps this form up.

Why not? What's wrong with 47?

Unusually we have two emergencies on stand by? Didnt hear Terlich or the Giraffe mentioned

That team is not taking into account any draft picks or trades in the 2 years. Plus we also have guys like Howe, Garland, Dunn, M. White, Dawes, Michie, Trengove.

Good to feel we are on the right track.

Thanks for the updates, KC et al. Great to hear!

Big call on King after 1 decent Vfl game! You blokes are red hot on here.

I'd like to think we have more than a year left in Vince.

[monoccular 16,394]

Interesting that King bagged 5 but not mentioned in the official best list.

KC or others - did he do much else than kick those goals? And forward ruck work?

Also interested in comments on

- Dawes

- OMcD

Thanks

To be fair it's a long time since we have had a tall kick a bag at any level. No harm in fantasising about what could b
