CASEY SCORPIONS v NORTHERN BLUES

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Great little passage of play. Max King pushed off an opponent and took nice overhead mark on the wing. Turned quickly and saw Weed leading to the wing/ flank hotly pursued by his opponent. King delivered a 25-30m low dart pass that Weed took down low at his shins by getting both forearms under it and taking a diving chest mark. Great pass but even getter collect. Weeds showing his skills down low as well as overhead today. Unfortunately the next pass from Weed was a turnover, but after great teamwork from King and Weed.

    One of Frosty's 'up' moves- great collect down low, short and accurate pass over the top of defenders to Casey player's advantage who ran in for a goal.

    Is it greedy for us to be hoping that Weideman could really be as good as he is looking like he might be?

     

    Greedy? The kid was in the top 10 of the country. I'd be dissapointed if he didn't kick on

    Newton running, bouncing goal. 11 goals up. 11.6.72 to 0.6.6. 

    Weiderman having a blinder in conditions that aren't good for talls.

    Newton shines again!  Collect off a scrambled ball, had a good look for forwards, nice pass to Weed who was contested and the ball went past both untouched and rolled through for a goal. 

    Newton is creating a few Laws of his own today.

    29 minutes into the third and Dylan Buckley manufactures a goal for the Blues (not sure who kicked it off the ground). We've got in back in our 50 now to try and get that one back.

    Not sure what to make of these beltings. Is the competition that lopsided? I can never help but wonder how this affects the development of our seconds players when they play against witches hats.

    Doesn't hurt to play in winning sides and get some confidence.

    You can only play against the opposition you are drawn against? Dons are 4th. Williamstown are 1st (we lost to them though), Collingwood are 9th, and Frankston are no longer the cellar dwellers that we beat. We are not doing too badly and it's not like we are against bad opposition. Cannot wait until we play some of the bottom teams.

    If we beat Sandy easily next week, we have arrived and a serious chance for the flag.

    It's a fair point but:

    a) low pressure situations allow you to execute game plans exactly as planned,  with success (as long as the coaches enforce their strict adherence and the players aren't allowed to get sloppy); and

    b) winning builds comraderie amongst the playing group and winning expectations as well. 

     

    These things mean that when a player does play well and eventually goes up he a) knows exactly what to do and exactly how to play the role and b) he expects to keep winning.  He will need to adjust to the pace and pressure,  but that is easier when you are brimming with confidence.

    They will get plenty of that as well.

    I just love the way we seem to be developing our players now.

    Our list is getting so much better each year, with good players not guaranteed a game.

    I guess that is what others said of us over recent years.

    You can only beat those who come out to play against you.

    For a moment there I thought Dunn had kicked 22 goals.

    Grimes kicks the first for the quarter. 

    Dawes kicks his first, 40 out.

    • 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?
