The Scorpions have gone from rags to riches as far as media exposure is concerned. They have a vital game against the Zebras this week and are on tv and radio.

Pretty strong side - only regular senior player missing is Lumumba. Will Grimey play in the BP? Hopefully our seconds can make amends against the Saints seconds this weekend.

I don't quite see the logic in naming Joel Smith in the starting 18 of both sides.

Salem in the Development League???


When I see Terlich's name it doesn't even register as a Melbourne listed player. I think everyone including the club have forgotten he's on the list, just check his bio on the Melbourne website, hasn't been updated since 2014.

 

With this many players available it is only a matter of time before we give Casey our annual rogering and send everyone in for early surgery. Prove me wrong please MFC.

I'm hoping we can get Vanders back to his best in the AFL for next week. There's really only one way to do that, so I'm hoping he gets the Casey coaches box role this weekend.

Inside word is Salem will play 1st half only this week. Club will monitor closely.

It's a start ... maybe he'll be right for the last few matches.

Wow 41 available players... only Lamumba missing from my best 22 (25).  Mitch King and VDHberg are the others unavailable.

Lets see how many are available for Casey in the finals.

I just saw a player named Hiscock.  :)

 

Sorry.  Juvenile, but that's just a really unfortunate name. 

Hopefully he doesn't get too many touches......

Pretty sure there are a few teammates who love playing with him.

Maybe your best 22 but not everyone's, including mine. 

Hunt and Wagner and Salem offer far more, and are our future not Collingwood's past.

Mate you just had my whole family in stitches in our living room. Gold.

Well said Monoccular!!  Can't wait to rid ourselves of Dawes & Lumumba. We certainly appreciate why Collingwood more than just traded both of them, they actually PUSHED them out the door. 

I really resent both of them!!!

Typo

With four players in the Development League, I hope that someone will be reporting on that match?


Well as I prepare to sit down and watch another Casey game on TV I shudder to think what I'll see.

Casey is an awful place for football.  I'm expecting to see a windswept ground where skill execution will be next to impossible and a mud heap where we see 1960's conditions.  The ground and location make proper football development very hard.  In the last few months Casey has played in some awful conditions where talls are cruelled and mids reduced to stacks on the mill footy.

We need to ensure the Casey ground is upgraded and pray for some windless days (actually I'd love to dump Casey and play at Punt Rd or the Collingwood training ground).  The reality is that our Casey players don't play in conditions they'll face at AFL level and can't practice the skills they need to play at that level.  Both Grimes and White suffered from that at Etihad IMO.

Anyway I hope I'm wrong about the conditions we face today and have a healthy dose of egg on face but if not it's as frustrating as hell.

    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?
