Essendon VFL v Casey Scorpions

Featured Replies

Posted

Highlights:

The Casey Scorpions finally get another televised game, only their second for the season after 20 rounds (the only other time was in Round 4!)

Rookie Mitch White who started the year in the development league has worked so hard for the opportunity to play an AFL game is off to the big time so he won't be playing for Casey this weekend.

Take no notice of the team selected on Thursday night. Four or five Six or seven of the names in the team are likely to end up at Etihad on Sunday or out altogether. This suggests that the team will struggle to go further than the first week of the finals again.

Another non-selection is Sam Frost whose season is apparently over.

I'm looking forward to seeing this but can't find any info about the game being televised.

All I can see is Collingwood v W on 7 from 12-3pm tomorrow.

This would make more sense given the amount of coverage received this year to date (as well as the fact that it's just W)

Is this the same Ess side that beat our seniors earlier in the year??

Thanks Viscount. I should try looking more often with my eyes open.

A nice lead into the other game.

Ah No That side had Goddard and Zaharakis in it to mention 2.

The late withdrawals through injuries to Nev Jetta and Jake Spencer along with the failure of Chris Dawes, Heritier Lumumba and Dom Tyson to come back from injury has severely affected Casey's finals hopes. They look like going into the final tomorrow with no more than 10 or 11 AFL affiliated players and without skipper Evan Panozza and that will make them underdogs in their game against Essendon VFL.

It's going to be a tough ask for them to go beyond this game and make it to the semi final stage.

 

Any diehard Melbourne supporters going to or watching this game on TV, in preference to going to the GWS game today?

I will probably watch both on TV

I will be taking more interest in this game than the Etihad one.

+1

Is it being broadcast on the radio?


not looking good early 20-1

Shocking turn over from Fitz, Essendon another goal 26-1


another example of an MFC aligned side making the finals and having reduced (hardly any) listed MFC Players. Life doesn't change !

Rubbish.

Seen our injury list lately.. FMD

Another to the Bombers through Hardingham 32-1

Lots of wiind-mostly from Fitzy.

 

Another horrendous turn over by Fitz

  • 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.

    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?
