RalphiusMaximus 6,112 Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 March 19th I'm not working. Great chance to have a look at the young guys fighting for a spot in the seniors.

KC from Casey 7,261 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Posted February 17, 2016 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.

Or as they will affectionately be called - "the Hanson twins" (slapshot - now there was a movie !)

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.

KC from Casey 7,261 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Posted March 2, 2016 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.
Whispering_Jack 31,396 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 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.
_becks_ 35 Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 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.

Whispering_Jack 31,396 Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 The games at Casey are on at the times published above. KC is on leave ATM and we'll only hear from him sporadically over the next month or so.
demonwithin 46 Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Hasn't started yet just out of the rooms. No team sheets left but so far I can see Weideman, Neal Bulleen, Mak King, Mitch white, Terlich, hunt, & Lumumba
demonwithin 46 Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 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
