CASEY SCORPIONS v NORTHERN BLUES

Featured Replies

Read this post carefully. Weiderman has collided with McGuiness in our forward line. McGuiness has a suspected broken arm. The Weid is fine. Blues got a free kick, stuffed it and fended off Weiderman high. Weid got a free, kicked it inside to Morris and Morris kicked a goal to take us to a 7 goal lead. 

 

Quick break for the Blues and sounded like a goal, however, our defensive man, S. Frost big tackle to save the goal. 

 

And then screws up his kick across half back, straight to the opposition. At least he will fit in perfectly. 

Frost was originally recruited as a back man if my memory serves me correctly so he would certainly strengthen our back line with TMac. 

He needs to play in our backline and not forward. 

 

We are giving the Blues all the opportunities to kick a goal. We are turning over the ball a lot in our favourite half back line. But the Blues are terrible and we are defending well - just not doing well out of defence.

They still haven't scored a goal though. 

Weiderman with a contented mark from O-Mac. Kicks the goal, his second. 8.5.53 to 0.3.3. 


Should have waited before I posted. Weiderman gets another mark in the 50. 45m out and he has 3.

I'm glad he's happy with it. As a matter of interest, was it a contested mark?

Nice pack mark by Weed. Juggled it twice before final grab. I said a few weeks ago he looks like his body is not yet big enough but he continues to prove me wrong. Nice direct kick for goal.

And a second goal a minute later from set shot 40-50m out. Did not deviate at all.

The Weed is growing  strong!

Ho hum

Picked up where the dees left off 

Half time catering report. The back story is it was my beautiful daughter's 21st last night. She and I organised it all together so I kept myself tidy but was able to loosen the reins a little towards the end ......and afterwards.

That said, the egg and bacon roll was looked forward to as both nutrition and morning / afternoon after therapy. It did NOT disappoint one bit. Boy was it good - the best one I have ever had. Well done Casey kitchen!

That qtr was a lot more scrambly than the first. Had to take a phone call (and eat aforementioned roll) so I missed a good chunk of the play details. We had the same contributors as 1st qtr but just not as dominant. The ground is getting more sloppy and ball is being held up in more ground contests.

Frosty was showing his usual schizophrenic passages. Great at a contest and tackle one minute, then poor kick leading to turnover and shot at goal by Blues. He's not yet earning a call up back to the firsts on this form. 

Weed, as already mentioned, had a very very good qtr. 

Having never seen the Weed myself, who does he best compare to in the way he plays? Gunston? (Would be over the moon if he got to that sort of level)

Taller I think. I'm hoping a shorter Lobb. Maybe a Scotty Lucas type (not the left foot part, the rangy CHF long kick part). That is of course wishful thinking. I've been hoping for a Scotty Lucas since... well... Scotty Lucas.

More gary lyon than a gunston type

A contested mark is the only sort of mark you should be content with :P

The bloke who was killing us at the other end last night is a fair comparison of player type.

Yeah. Long telescopic arms. I wonder what Weed's height is compared to him? Lovely pretty kicking action too, though his kicking was a slight knock from memory out of his draft.

Big raps on ANB and Weiderman at half time. More so than Newton and Dawes who they have discussed are important. ANB a little busier in that term that Newton. 

HT Stats.
Disposals - Newton 18, Dunn 14, Neal-Bullen 14
Goals - Weideman 3, Briggs 2, Grimes, Morris, Newton, King.

QT Stats
Disposals - Newton 13, Dunn 8, Neal-Bullen 7.
Goals - Briggs 2, Grimes, King, Weideman 1

As others have said i think Lynch is a good comparison, he's quite mobile, got a bloody good set of hands and a beautiful kick, once he develops an AFL body he'll be very good in tandem with Jesse. 

he seems to be past his injuries which is a huge plus and still very much building confidence and form but he's good enough to be the best player that comes out of his draft.

These egg and bacon rolls, I have heard so much about them, do they deliver up to Daintree? Long way to come for E/B roll, but I will make it one of these days soon hopefully.

Might get a bit cold before arrival. Their secret is no limits on the lashings of bacon. 

 

Trenners kicks the first of the 3rd. Dunn doing everything down back. Blues have opened their forward line, and as we'd expect - Dunn is loving the space. 

Another Blues player goes down and the stretcher is out. It was a sling tackle and hitting the head, so not sure who tackled, but sure it will be looked at.

considering how good the young crop from last years draft have been id be ecstatic if he ended up being in the top 5 of the group

Very exciting to hear the Lynch comparisons. If he ends up developing into a 50 goal a season forward im sure we will all be over the moon

    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?
