Casey Scorpions v Coburg


KC from Casey

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

Daydream for today: 2017, Max King FF, Jesse Hogan CHF.

2017 Side:

B: Jetta T-Mac Lumumba

HB: Salem O-Mac Frost

C: Toumpas Jones Stretch

HF: Petracca Hogan Viney

F: Garlett King Kent

R: Gawn Tyson Brayshaw

Int: Watts Neal-Bullen Vandenberg JKH

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.

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

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

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
