CASEY SCORPIONS v WERRIBEE

Featured Replies

Posted

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.

I  haven't given up on him yet, wonder if the club have.

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.

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

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

19

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.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
