Coburg v Casey Scorpions

Featured Replies

Posted

I'm going early with this week's VFL games on account of the fact that for Melbourne fans, they're the only games in town and it looks as if there will be a much stronger Demon contingent than there has been over the past month or so.

The three players omitted from the Gold Coast Suns game would be in line for selection at Casey although the selectors might decide not to play Christian Salem who was out through suspension. However, Dean Kent and Sam Weideman should play. 

Based on the MFC's "official" injury list from last week, the additions to the side to come from this list should be Corey Maynard (concussion) and Tim Smith (ribs/punctured lung) who were both declared available last week. Jake Spencer could be the other possibility for a return if he comes up from his shoulder injury. There are still a few players who are still a fair way off returning.

Congratulations to Casey captain Jack Hutchins and this year's big improver Bayley Fritsch on representing the VFL against the WAFL at the weekend. Fritsch was named in the best players in a losing team. Unfortunately, he is out this week.

Teams to be loaded following selection.

 

Weather looking good for Sunday... might go along.

Is there a special item of cuisine for which Coburg Oval is famous a la the Casey bacon and egg roll.

Are the players who played in Alice Springs eligible for selection. Some of the fringe players might benefit from a hit out.

Been there once, on official duties, dreadful day, shocking traffic, shizen rooms, and avarage catering.

I think it was 2010! 

Tempting to be there though!!

Thanks PF

hopefully the continued gentrification of Coburg (is it now west Northcote or North Brunswick) has added to the culinary delights

Notwithstanding should be a fun day of footy as we remember it from so many years ago

As you say.. tempting and let's hope a good crowd comes along

I wish this game was televised. 

 

Just around the corner from me here in Hipster Central, might just drop in with my 3/4 long black and cronut.

Coburg is hipster central? Times have changed.

Falafels, kofte, kebabs and strong short blacks - organic and single origin of course.

Hulett now only has to play on a wing or rove to have covered every position in the team!

I know he's been played down back before, but I'm wondering if the FD are thinking he may replace OMac at some stage. Doubt he'll be needed forward any time soon with Hoges, Pedo and Watts there.

Pretty sure they see him as a project swingman in the Pedersen mold.  If he can develop into that sort of player hell be handy.

No, I'm in Thornbury.

Not that close to Coburg i would have thought - but the hipsters do like to be seen getting their falafels and multi cultural vibe up the Coburg end of Sydney road! 

I lived in Thornbury for several years in te early 2000s and it wasn't hipster central yet. But you could tell it was not far away. had to laugh the other day reading about the hipster fungas spreading up high Street to and across Bell Street into Preston - an area that a long way from hipsterville when i lived in Thornbury 

Hi does Out= Omitted or include out for injuries or resting?

Surprised to see Fritsch "out". (assuming Out= Omitted) He has had several good games this season and is a good forward mark.

Also what does Out mean re Filipovic. Cannot make the Development league team has to be  a worry if he was omitted.

I get the feeling he might be in a bit of trouble.

Next suburb in fact - (3 kms along the Merri Trail). Not too many hipsters anywhere in the early 2000's BTW.  Comment was mean't in a jovial manner as in fact I am the least Hipster person you could meet (I don't even own an IPad).  I do live behind Courtney Barnett though so I guess that makes me Hipster by association!.

I don't think you can take those player positions literally - Mitch King in the ruck excepted.

Yes i assumed you were joking. But to paraphrase my favourite film, only a true hipster would deny his hipstervinity. And not having an ipad is post rock ironic and therefore proves your hipster credentials. Do you ever shop at the organic shop in Thornbury village?

Out just means out. Injured/omitted/promoted to seniors/rested all covered.

Plapp's reports have been encouraging on Filipovic's progress - unfortunately it would seem he is injured this week.

He's got a Walkman for sure!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
