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?

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)!

Even discounting the fact that 3 of the MFC players will disappear from that side, someone is going to be seriously stiff. 

Can't see how Joel Smith is not going to be in the dev league this week. Competing with Keilty for the last bench spot looking at that.

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.

How did King perform?  

Did Joel Smith play today, or is he set up for tomorrow?

Thanks for the updates KC!

Max kicked a couple of goals and was handy.

Joel Smith will play tomorrow for the seniors.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
