FOOL'S GOALED by Ice Station

The Casey Scorpions travelled to Eureka Stadium in search of gold but returned with nothing because they failed in the basic test of football - kicking for goal.

The tone for the game between the Scorpions and North Ballarat was set by the end of the first quarter when the visiting team dominated play but, by virtue of its inaccuracy, trailed by a point. The Roosters goaled with all three shots at goal and the Scorpions were only successful with only two of seven, both to busy small man Jay Kennedy-Harris.

And so the pattern continued for the rest of the game. The Roosters certainly had the better of the second quarter but, after half time, they kicked five straight goals to three goals six meaning they had stretched their lead at the main break by another goal to win by twenty points.

The winners kicked straight but for Casey it was as they say in the classics, a case of "bad kicking is bad football" and one that got away after winning some close tussles in recent weeks.

Thanks to the long run of injuries, Casey had only nine AFL players at its disposal including three rookies. They were fortunate to have Mark Jamar who dominated the ruck contests against two inexperienced big men from the country side but, after a few good outings at this level, must surely have written a ticket back into the AFL with that game. Kennedy-Harris showed out with his class at times and rookie James Harmes did some nice things but the Casey midfield really failed to take advantage of the Russian's domination in the ruck.

The Casey defence worked hard, led by skipper Evan Panozza. He was well backed up by key defenders Jack Fitzpatrick who marked everything at centre half back and local lad Oscar McDonald who is no stranger to Eureka Stadium. Bryce Rutherford, co-opted from the development league team, was handy on the day.

The defeat was a big blow to Casey which remains in the middle of a big field of final contenders and could ill afford to lose a game to a team that had previously lost four in a row.

The team has a bye next weekend.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
