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

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
