BOX HILL HAWKS v CASEY SCORPIONS

Featured Replies

I really want to hear Demonlanders getting behind the scorps this finals series. They've had a great season and have been an excellent feeder for the seniors this year. Maybe the Demon Army can organise to have a cheersquad there for the games? Let the boys know that just because the MFC season has ended doesn't mean we're not behind them. 

Who qualifies and who plays? Are there any that the club want to wrap in cotton wool for the end of the season?

 

Nice to see that the VFL hasn't fallen for Gill's AFL knee jerk reaction to a non problem by introducing the bye which IMO kills momentum for clubs, players and the interest of the general public.  A ludicrous move in my view.

Correct. WB playing on thurs night should help Casey. Cant see the dogs playing anyone who would be in line or on the fringe of senior selection with only a 5 day break and/or injury a concern

I'd love to see Declan Keilty play well in this finals series and boost his chances for the upcoming draft period.

After last years disappointing first round exit at the hands of the Bombres, can't wait to see us have a very realistic crack at

the GF this year...see you all at Casey Fields Saturday!

Ah, the old "kills the interest of the general public" call hey?  What a load of frog sheet.  Are you saying you're not going to be interested in watching any of the finals because there aren't any games this weekend, Mono?

I am actually looking forward to a weekend "off" footy, with a big 4 weeks to come after it.  It's going to give me the opportunity to spend a weekend working around the house, so that I have it in top shape for as long as possible, because I know that I have 4 weeks of AFL finals that consume my weekends, followed closely by about 8 weeks of the Spring carnival.

Not only that, I get to spend this Sunday enjoying Father's Day with my kids, with no footy on the TV to worry about.

 

 

Went past our training oval this morning and there was a number of players training, must be the Casey eligible players, I didn't have time to stop but there would have been 15 or so players there.  Looks like they are going to take the finals seriously this year.

Good to hear.

There were 20 players who qualified for VFL finals, and as i saw earlier in the thread, Pedersen wont be available for VFL finals. But we should still have the following hopefully available:

Salem, Trengove, Oliver, Dunn, Newton, Garland, Michie, JKH, Weideman, Hulett, ANB, Grimes, Spencer, Kennedy, White, J. Smith, M. Jones, Terlich & Max King

Along way from the Bailey years when I remember heading out to North Port Oval to watch Casey v Collingwood in an elimination final and the only Melbourne players made available were Shane Valentti, Simon Buckley & Trent Zommer.

Pretty sure German quit as Casey coach after that.

Anyone see how Jaffer-Williams went, in view of good game in Development League. Also Van Der Haar

Jaffer Williams played very good!

I believe he's gotten best on 3 weeks in a row now?

Opened the wrong thread by accident and only looked at the 'post' box from then forward I'd say.  I'll move the posts...

Your too kind. I would rather go with the theory that he has let things get out of hand with open bar and is slightly incoherent at this stage of the night. We shouldn't let the more likely scenario spoil that should we?

  • 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?
