The Scorpions travel down the highway to Sleepy Hollow to play the Cats. Casey is virtually assured of a top two spot and I'm sure will take a good look at Simonds Stadium in the week before their senior counterparts slug it out.

    I would suggest the odds of that lineup playing on the weekend are astronomical.  

    Is the Dev league playing?  Assume King is still working his way up from there?

    Why is this game this week? Why don't they have this game next Week as a Certain Raiser to the seniors in Round 23

    Must admit I'm a bit surprised with Geelong's VFL side. It's like the boulevard of broken dreams.

    I had the impression that their young brigade with Bews, Murdoch, Delaney, Horlin-Smith, Motlop, Kersten, Lang & Cowan were future stars all, primed to take over seamlessly from their seniors and lead them away from the cliff. Even if like us, they've just got not much injuries, it's still a mild surprise that none of the above are in their current best 22.

    And is their CHF a certain journeyman and former recruiting coup who was going to assure them of future success at one stage? If there is a God, he will line up against Dunn, who will be inside his head the whole game. Could be messy.

    Or why don't they play them both on the same day? To have the Scorpions Development League game vs the Zebas on Saturday then the VFL Scorps vs the Cats on Sunday is logistically insane (unless KC had typed a misprint)!

    No Maynard, that's disappointing

    You don't think he needs a preseason to get match fit ?

    The initial article mentioned he'd been secretly training with the Scorps and working with Crossy. It didn't say for how long though. With the anouncement I guess I put 1 and 1 together and came up with 3 - that he'd be playing development league this weekend.

    Does anyone have info on roughly how much training he's done? How much would he need to play development league?

    I don't know the answer either, but I suspect he'd be more susceptible to injury without a really solid base.

    So we beat Geelong in Geelong this week.

     

    Beat Geelong in Geelong next week.

     

    Then beat Geelong at the MCG the next game and all is good in the world.

    I love the new brand of optimism on Demonland.

    Resilience then Faith then Hope then Optomism then Excitement then Expectations then Nervousness then Premiership then Merchandise spending then Arrogance. Hawthorn is stuck on arrogance.

    Nathan Freeman playing for Sandy Development side. 3 years since drafting and no AFL games yet. Continually injured. We dodged a bullet there.

    The VFL fixture would have to be the worst planned fixtures going around in the country.

    The GFC appear averse to having a curtain raiser on their precious turf. The last time Casey played Geelong as a curtain raiser was the day we'd all rather forget.

    The Cats rarely, if ever, have their VFL side play in a curtain raiser.

    Max kicked a couple of goals and was handy.

    Joel Smith will play tomorrow for the seniors.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
