We have a fair bit of depth and we have basically played 16 AFL players every week. If you think about it, today we have 6 first round draft picks playing in Treners, Grimes, Salem, Dawes, Dunn, Kennedy. You dont really see that at VFL level week in week out. Plus in other weeks we've had Oliver, Brayshaw, and Weiderman. 

Dawes and Kennedy weren't first rounders were they?

[KC from Casey 7,157]

Late goals to debutants Aloysio Ferreira and the Time Lord, Tom Baker (x2) see Casey stream home by 105 points!

Baker replaced Tim Smith, a late injury withdrawal before the match.

Williamstown's loss today to Footscray means that the Scorpions and Collingwood VFL fill the top two spots with the Seagulls a game behind and a bye coming up which will make it hard for them to get a home game in the first week of the finals.

BenKen was 19 (I think that was still in the first round that year) and Dawes was 28 (my bad). Although didnt we give up a 1st rounder for him? Anywho, main point was that we have a fair bit of VFL talent.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Another impressive win. Storming towards finals now.

Super win today given we were missing most of our usual tall forward targets from this year in Weed, Hulett and Kielty,and I didnt hear Tim Smiths name called, did he play today?

Few players there who aren't knocking on the door, they are smashing it down.

It's going to be hard telling some of them that they're not getting promoted, on the other hand it will be hard telling someone in the one's that they are going back to Casey.

Thanks KC and all posters another great win for the club and the players. Go Scorp's!!! go Dee's. two great weekends in a row can we take the pressure, Wahoooooooooooooooooo!!!

[whatwhat say what 23,639]

keep going dees and scorpions.

[hells bells 2,023]

Wow, things looking very promising at Casey.  

Those at the ground, care to comment on Joel Smith.  Really like the look to him as a player.

no he didn't - he replaced jon pertwee!

[junk 342]

JKH will eventually oust Garlett if he continues to be ……………………. ! 

[Emerald 1,744]

So looking forward to the VFL finals.

[DSP 1,488]

Really hope JKH and Salem continue to finish the year off strongly.

A comprehensive win by the Scorps.

Just as happy to also see Trengove and Kennedy finish the year off strongly as well (plus ANB)! We might need a bit of depth if we manage to make it to the finals.

Commentator has mentioned that JKH has been offered a three year contract by Carlton.

Jeez, this one comment set this thread off.  Who was it, what was their source, and how do we know it is even accurate?

many here are already trying to map out the trade.  Perhaps, if likely, it needs its own thread?

loving the pressure that success at both levels is creating on players.  Creating the habit of winning, building something special for Casey and Melbourne.  Go Scorps, Go Dees!

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Melbourne and Casey are both in a rich vein of form and there are almost no injuries, I'm loving this.

Possibly early 2000's when we were playing finals and Sandringham were winning premierships but not sure it was even like this.

[Wrecker45 3,378]

Before Roos and PJ came along we were playing a VFL standard team in the AFL. Now we're playing an almost AFL standard team in the VFL.

[Jaded No More 68,976]

I want Salem in ASAP for Harmes. 

Great to see JHK back in some good form after a tough year of injuries. I think he has something to give at AFL level.
