Well done KC. I, like many Demonlanders, look forward to your reports. Hopefully this year the Scorps can go all the way.

maybe if we let them have players they may well?

    Melbourne might well have been denied access to a top up player after losing Jake Melksham for 2016 but it will get eight of them from the Casey Scorpions for Friday's practice match at Casey Fields.

    The top ups are Conner Ambler, Aaron Cottee, James Freeman, Jake Lovett, Jordan Moncrieff, James Munro, Angus Scott and Kody Wilson.
     
    The game starts at 9.45am.

    Looking forward to hearing how Lovett goes

    That Moncrieff name rings a bell

    The Casey Scorpions have signed Beaconsfield twins Damien and Daniel Johnston who both played representative football with the SENFL this year.

    Or as they will affectionately be called  - "the Hanson twins" 

    (slapshot - now there was a movie !)

    Son of Michael Moncrieff who was recruited from Edithvale-Aspendale by the Hawks in 1971 and was a prolific goalkicker, topping their goalkicking on five occasions. He was one of a number of players (including Leigh and Kelvin Matthews) who came from that part of the Mornington Peninsula Football League which later became Melbourne's zone. Sadly for us, we missed out on some true champions of the game by a couple of years.

    Some more junior talent has arrived at the Casey Scorpions from local TAC Cup clubs.

    They are Jake Di Pasquale and Cory Machava from the Dandenong Stingrays and Cory Stockdale from Gippsland Power. All three are smalls - under the 180cm mark.

    The gap between the start of the AFL season and the start of the VFL season is becoming a problem. Now that we've started the NAB Challenge matches it would be handy for those who don't make the cut to have a practice game at VFL level but unfortunately, that option doesn't become available until NAB3.

    I appreciate that they can do simulated match play at training but there's no Casey game this weekend so the likes of Jack Trengove and Christian Petracca can be eased in with say half a game at that level. As I said above, it would have been handy.

    Not sure why Casey couldn't have a practice game however if we used it to get some of our players fit with match practice how are they intended to get their own list match fit?

    We're only talking about 8 - 10 MFC players at most who aren't involved in the NAB Challenge game and aren't injured. That still leaves around 40 Casey players who can be used across senior and reserves practice matches.

    Then they should let the eight to ten MFC players play with the Casey Development team against their firsts in a practice match to even it up a bit.

    So will Petracca play this Saturday at Casey? Might be worth a look!!

    From what we've read, neither Petracca nor Trengove will be playing any games anywhere until they have a really solid block of full training under their belts.

    Terlich kicks the second after a four bounce effort from half back. Add stretch and Michie to list of MFC players. 2 goals to nil 7 mins in

    So if we have stretch, michie, hunt and terlich all playing at Casey, does that mean we're going in with only 23 for tomorrow?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
