ESSENDON VFL v CASEY SCORPIONS

Featured Replies

Good to see that there are some boys there. Gawn is a regular at games (good team man). 

Stretch seems to have just exploded since quarter time . Interesting to see that ANB isn't in the big disposal getters at 3 quarter time. We all just assumed he was going to have another big match and get the call up. With Hunt the likely out due to "management" (otherwise known as a quite game), Stretch is a like for like. Haven't heard Matt Jones name in the commentary as yet. 

Oliver seems like he comes back in as well. 

 

5 mins into last qtr and 2 behinds to efc. 

Good point Dee-l. No M Jones here on the ground at all. 

 

16 mins in and efc have scored 5 behinds this qtr.  It's an arm wrestle in their fwd half but our defence has stood strong. 

Great to see Viv dominating, sometimes I think I am his only fan

 


Goal to efc - 6.10.46 to Scorps 9.11.65

Mark and 50m penalty to Scorps resulting in a goal to us from the goal square. 

 

O Mac has looked alright to me

Michie is a smooth mover. Both he and ANB have demonstrated their quick hands around packs this qtr.

given the conditions today (awful) it's hard to call the stats very meaningful 

Michie and Strech had 10 possession last quarters. Oliver had 9 and you have to assume that Trenners had at least 8. 

The one that stands out there is Stretch as the conditions aren't conducive to his style of play, so good work getting his hands on it.

Assuming Oliver is trying to read the words. It's ok buddy, you wont need them again...

Hope the players have a good shower when they leave.

Would hate to see a positive swab come up just from sitting on the chair or touching the lockers in there.

Ran out of batteries with 10 minutes to go and just got home. Stretch, Michie and Oliver were the stand outs. Saw Garland against Collingwood and he looked disinterested, was on his game today and has given himself a look in. ANB was serviceable but would not say he banged the door down. Trengove is getting to the right spots but is not up to speed yet with his execution. Being he spent most of the game playing inside could not get a feel for how much better his movement was. 

 


They interviewed Plapp after the match on Casey Radio. He said that he was surprised that Trengove was tagged all day. He said that tagging doesn't happen very often in the VFL. I would think that this makes Trengove's stats look a bit better.

Thanks BRFE & KC greatly appreciated a good win at Windy Hill, take that any day. Looks like we have 4-6 players that could come into the team if coaches want to reward some effort and rest a couple of the kids or non performers.

O Mac also very good. Stretch a stand out with quick hands inside and good decision making. Best game I've seen him play. Garland very solid. Michie better than Trengove and Grimes IMO.

The great thing about his game is that he is playing half back flank yet is stacking up the possessions, must have had 10 inside 50s and 5 score assists as well as one of his own.

Viv has been our most consistent performer at Casey so far this year and surely must be due a recall. Reward for effort. Problem is I'm not sure that Roos rates him.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
