CASEY'S BIG DAY OUT by KC from Casey

The Casey Scorpions have for most of this season inflicted plenty of pain on their opposition and this week's clash against Werribee proved to be no exception as they snuffed out the Tigers' slim finals hopes at Casey Fields. 

The visitors had some early joy in the opening five minutes of the game as they kicked the first two goals but the Scorps came back with goals to Chris Dawes and Alex Neal-Bullen. Werribee regained the initiative with a goal and then Casey took over in general play if not on the scoreboard. They peppered the goals until the drew level and finally a Jack Grimes goal gave them the lead which they held for the remainder of the day. 

By the first break, the Scorpions were in control. They had more than double the number of shots at goal but led by 13 points. The trend continued into the second quarter as they dominated the contest and their half time lead of 37 points would have been far greater had they been more accurate in front of goal. 

With Jake Spencer returning to dominate in the ruck and the midfield on fire and winning all the stoppages, the procession continued until it turned into a 105 point percentage boosting rout at the end of the day. 

Casey had 16 Demon-listed players who all for the most part shone on a big day out for the club, particularly on ballers Matt Jones, Jack Grimes and Neal-Bullen who were virtually unstoppable. They had great support from the likes of Jack Trengove, Ben Kennedy and Jay Kennedy-Harris who started like a house on fire and then had another three goal purple patch in the third quarter. Mitch White also put in another strong performance and showed his versatility with two goals. 

Dawes was sharp in front of the big sticks and finished with three goals while Christian Salem also showed touches of class as he returns from illness, kicking a couple of nice goals.

Casey was without two of their stars in Tim Smith and Declan Keilty so in stepped first gamer Tom Baker with two second half goals. Ed Morris was also in prolific form getting plenty of the football.

The percentage boosting win sees Casey retaining top place ahead of Collingwood VFL on percentage and needing to win one of their remaining two games, both road trips against top eight sides Geelong and Box Hill, to gain a home game in the first week of finals.

Next week's trip to the Cattery promises to be a preview of what could be an interesting final round match for the Scorpions' AFL counterparts.

The Development League team set the scene for Casey's big day out winning their game by 113 points against an injury-depleted Werribee which offered little resistance.

Max King was in good form. He booted five goals for the game.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
