    Expecting Neal-Bullen, Michie, Riley, Bail to come out of that Casey team, and probably Spencer also as the carry over player.

    Expecting big games from Kennedy-Harris, Harmes & King this week!

    Quite bizarre that Casey development play Coburg two weeks in a row..!

    The VFL fixture is all over the shop every year but.

    So the Dees have selected just Gawn as ruck (possibly with Spencer on the bench), while Scorps have named Spencer, Jamar, Fitz & King in the same team!

    Go figure.

    After all this time of having a 7 man bench named for MFC Sunday games and then having all 7 bench players named at Casey, and people still haven't worked it out????

    Correct - it happens on most weeks when a 7 man bench is announced.

    When Casey is playing at least a day after Melbourne it's a little different and of course they don't have to hold players over for the AFL games. That's not happening very often this year so the Scorpions can be at a slight disadvantage in their games.

    Have the Scorps played a game this year the day after Melbourne yet?

    Seems one player is missing out on playing every week!

    But what?

    I might head over there tomorrow as it's only 10 minutes away from me, although it depends what the weather is like.

    Eureka Stadium is freezing at the best of times, and the forecast for tomorrow isn't good.

    Not great for development, is it.

    But frankly having the VFL as the 'feeder' competition when they have an uneven number of teams, therefore byes, just sucks too. There are times when returning and fringe players may not get a game in two weeks.

    Both Casey Scorpions teams head north today but they're going to different venues a fair distance apart.

    The ones travel to North Ballarat which is seemingly one of the coldest parts of the world to visit at this time of year and I certainly don't regret that I can't make it there today due to a commitment on this side of town. Relying on reports from others during the afternoon which I will relay whenever possible and I have a contact who has promised to provide material for a report on the game.

    The game should be a test for the club's recruiting programme since Justin Plapp's appointment because the MFC's ever- expanding injury list will leave the Scorps with no more than 10 Demons including 3 rookies compared with earlier in the year when about 15 played in the senior team and there were a couple in the development league team.

    The game against lowly North Ballarat (who are partially aligned with North Melbourne) would normally be eminently winnable and today, we need the Casey boys to step up to the plate and support the likes of the Russian and last week's goal kicking star Max King.

    Eureka Stadium has always been a difficult assignment, particularly so during the Roosters' recent golden era. Thankfully, they don't have a development league team because there have been times when the temperature was around freezing point at the start of their games.

    By a strange quirk of the fixture the development boys kick off shortly at Piranha Park or Coburg City Oval against the team that beat them last week at Casey. The Scorps got off to a slow start (their first goal came after half time) and this week they don't have any MFC players to help them out. JKH who played last week on return from injury is going to Ballarat while the unlucky Jayden Hunt is injured again after playing his best game since embarking on his comeback. The game kicks off in ½ hour's time.

    Casey's development team got first blood with an early goal but the Lions are on top having scored the next three and lead 3.2.20 to 1.0.6 halfway through the first term.

  • Quote

    I don't want to confuse anyone but JKH just kicked Casey's first at North Ballarat.

    If he can play well and stay fit JKH would certainly be a handy addition to the side after the bye.

    Decent loss ... Melbourne aren't the only ones bearing the consequence of all our injuries/outs.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
