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.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
