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 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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
