CASEY SCORPIONS v WERRIBEE

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

There's an interesting little competition at the top of the VFL ladder with Casey, Williamstown and Collingwood all on 12 wins. The top two placegetters before the finals get home ground advantage in the first week of the finals. That means that every game left is important for the three contenders.

    How is Joel Smith back in the development? Plapp's review of his game was very positive, and he gets dropped?

    He is in both sides I think. Will play seniors I would think.

    Ah yes. I see now. But why list him in the development league?

    Not sure - could it maybe be something to do with VFL finals eligibility for 1s and 2s?    Funny things sometimes happen this time of year on these issues.

    Max King is finished. 

    Saw him at one of the training camps at Maroochydore a couple of years ago.  The warning signs were quite prominent back then, and nothing I have read since has ade me change my view.

    Disappointing for the kid, but he got to a stage (being recruited by the MFC) that many of us could only dream of.  Just a shame he couldn't get to the next level or two above.

    Not sure either, he is still 20 turns 21 in September, point out we have actually persevered with Spencer for very little return in game time at AFL level

    This kid I think came late to footy and is still growing into his 202cm frame. These guys do take time and they don't grow on trees. He would definitely get another year from me and I hope the club see it the same way. I will never forget those who wanted Hunt gone last year.

    How old was Gawn when he played his first senior AFL game?

    I think he has had 3 years on the rookie list Redleg. We either have to promote him or de-list him and then pick him up in the rookie draft if the club wants to keep him

    Well then I would re rookie him.

    I would as well, another club could pick him up which is the danger

    Well I suppose that is the risk we will have to take, as it looks unlikely he will be promoted, unless we are getting rid of a few more than most think.

    When your getting dropped to the  development league in your 3rd year of AFL footy you know your in serious  trouble.

    There are no comparisons to Gawn or Spencer. They were both playing senior  AFL level at 19 years old. King is nearly 21 and has struggled this year.

    You can just about put a line through him.

    • 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.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      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?
