Casey Scorpions Off Season News

[Gator 16,910]

Trengove's kicking was very good.  His fitness surprised me.  If I didn't know his history I'd say he looked fit enough to pay next week.  Clearly he won't, but he's not far away.  I could see him coming in very soon. 

I did see him sprint in the third close to the boundary on the member's side and his speed was fine.  He certainly didn't look "slow".  It was markedly different to when he looked embarrassingly slow a couple of years back.

So heartened by the description of Trengove's game. I wonder how far off a full VFL match he is?

Thank goodness for some excellent news on a glum day.

[Gator 16,910]

A minor thing, but there was no bandage on Petracca's knee, which I liked.  He has been wearing one at training.

Perfect timing from Trenners and Tracca today, probably prevented half this board jumping off  a bridge after the Essendrug game

Cant wait to see them in the seniors, as we saw today we still have too many passengers

The nature of his injury,  I feel sure they will slowly build his game workload to watch for any soreness..  Taking time about now is the right play for Trenners,  because of the injury & the long layoff.  His body needs time at this level to readjust.

 

We aren't going to win a flag in 2016 so all of us have to be patient.   I seem to recall having a word with a young Schwartz a week or two before his comeback from his 1st knee injury.. told him not to rush his comeback.  he did & we all have felt the results.

The form of Tracca, Trenners, ANB and Weideman is helping to ease the pain of losing to Essendrug

Did Trengove get any midfield time or was it all forward?

Cheers

All midfield and usually starting in the centre square.

How was JKH?

Seems to have vanished off the face of the earth..

[hells bells 2,022]

JKH didn't do much to be honest, not from lack of trying.  He moved around very well and did a lot of leading but never seemed to end up with the ball.

ProDee might have noticed him getting more of it but tbh I thought he was only average.

I didn't notice him do much, but I was mainly there for Trengove and Petracca.

Did Viv Michie play today? I know he had a death in the family and was up in central NSW on Friday. 

 

 

[hells bells 2,022]

No sign of Viv

Thanks HB. Not surprised he did not play.

[MadAsHell 4,088]

Any reports on how our pair of King's went? Notice they were amongst the goal kickers?

 

Also any chance Weideman may be pressing for an early debut to help out Hogan? He seems to have done nicely the last two weeks.

[hells bells 2,022]

Both Kings looked pretty dangerous up forward. It was difficult to judge their impact in the middle, but based on clearances I'd say they were even with the opposition.  

One thing that annoyed me with all the Casey forwards was their poor positioning when Casey were heading into the breeze in the 2nd and 4th quarters.  They were always playing from behind and as you'd expect the ball kept dropping short. 

Had they played in front I've no doubt they would have all picked up at least another goal.

Must have happened a dozen times.

Cheers, but you sometimes share a link if my memory serves me correctly ?

I liked Stretch's game in the 2nd half. Ran hard, got involved and used it pretty well  Got caught holding the ball bad once in the last quarter resulting in a free but then tackled the tackler as he played off the mark and won the ball back straight back which from memory resulted in a goal.

Was impressed with the King that had the higher number. His taps were very effective and kicked an awesome goal in the last from a severe angle against the wind. I was right behind the kick, how he managed to get it through I don't know. He looked skillful

Is Round 4 vs the Pies too early for a Tracca debut?

 

[hells bells 2,022]

Based on yesterday I reckon 1 game too early.

R3 - Casey Practice Match 75% Game time

R4 - Casey - Full Match

R5 - Melbourne debut v Richmond - Anzac Eve

I reckon Jack Trengove is a chance to return v the Pies
