Coburg Lions v Casey Scorpions

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

A month or so ago when the MFC injury list was dwindling and Casey was playing up to 15-16 Demons in their side, they were winning games. It's quite likely that today they will be down to 9 or 10 and, if he plays, I don't see Dean Kent having a big role in the outcome because of his lack of match fitness. That doesn't augur well for Casey's finals prospects because next week they take on top four team Sandringham at the Beach Oval.

And for those who will miss big Jack ~

    I'll tell you what, I'm over you having a go at me whenever I have something to say. What say I catch up with you before the Carlton game and or any other time and we can just have a little chat. I don't care what this costs, I have had enough of your continued criticisms of my posts and personal attacks.

    LOL!!!! Poor PF.

    Half time and Coburg dominated most of the quarter with Casey getting a couple of late goals. Casey 5.3.33 to Coburg 8.11.59.

    For some reason the Scorps always struggle against this mob at this ground. It doesn't augur well for the main game later this afternoon.

    The team for the main game has just ten Demon listed players including Dean Kent who is obviously lacking match fitness after he badly injured his hamstring in the Anzac Eve game v Richmond and playing ½ a game in the development league four weeks ago. He is expected to get limited playing time in the hope that he can add to the team's playing stocks in the finals. Tim Smith also makes a timely return after missing most of the last half of the season.

    It's a very inexperienced team with three players Anderson, Corrigan and Rennie coming in for the first time this year. Between them they have played a handful of senior games (this partly explains the development team's poor showing). Then there's the team's lucky charm Tom Papley who is 23rd player and was handy in a couple of wins early last month in the middle of the team's mid season winning streak that put it in finals contention in the first place.

    Casey Scorpions open brightly with the first 2 goals. The first to the Russian and then to Jordie Mckenzie from a free kick and things are getting very willing out there.

    Two more through Jones then Smith - they might have some common names but there was nothing ordinary about their goals or the great start to an important day for the Casey Scorpions who lead 4.0.24 to 0.0.0.

    Is it being broadcast?

    No, for some reason Channel 7 have a problem when it comes to covering Casey games. They have a delayed telecast of Collingwood v Richmond which started at about 10.30am. Pity they don't want to share the games around all clubs. Casey have been covered once this year on the 7 network. Casey Radio only does VFL games on Sundays.

    Meanwhile, Coburg open their account but Tim Smith gets his second and the lead is back to four goals.

    We always get out to good starts then inexplicably fall apart in the second half.

    Hope we can put the foot down.

    A fourth unanswered goal (and third for the quarter) to Coburg and they grab the lead.

    Make that another one - Scorps have stopped to a walk and trail by 7 points.

    Yet another goal to Coburg and it looks like a few of the blokes out there playing in the Casey jumpers want to join their Demon counterparts in Bali.

    Half Time and not for the first time this year, the Scorpions have crumbled under pressure. Since Smith kicked their sixth and his third in the latter part of the first quarter, there's been a 46 point turnaround.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
