Casey Scorpions Presentation Night

Featured Replies

Posted

The Casey Scorpions will hold their Presentation Night where the 2010 Gardner Clark Medallist will be presented on Friday, September 24th, at Casey Fields VFL Function room.

The Gardner Clark Medal is awarded to the best and fairest player for the club and an exciting finish is expected.

On my reckoning it's a battle between three players who had outstanding seasons for the Scorpions - defender Michael Stockdale, utility James Wall and forward Brad Miller.

In his second season at the club after being recruited from the Gippsland Power, Stockdale was outstanding as a running defender and fought his way into the VFL representative side which thrashed the WAFL in midseason. He was leading the count in the VFLs J J Liston Trophy at the half way mark of the season and, despite suffering a season ending knee injury in Round 12, he finished fifth in the final voting.

Acting skipper Wall won the last two Gardner Clark Medals and is considered a good chance to make it three in a row. Wall has been an inspirational leader in the absence of the injured Kyle Matthews and has played just about everywhere from wing to key back and key forward posts during the season.

Millers season was shared between the Demons and the Scorpions but when it was announced he would be delisted at seasons ended and offered a farewell match with Melbourne, he chose to stick with Casey rather than let his teammates down in their first final. Miller played 15 games and was the clubs top goal kicker with 42 for the season including a bag of ten against the Gold Coast when his heroics in front of goal inspired a magnificent come from behind victory.

So will it be one of the above trio or someone like Ben MacReadie or Kyle Cheney?

The major award is named after two former club champion ruckmen in Ian Gardner and Simon Clark. Each played in premierships and each won five Best and Fairest awards at the club. Gardner in the 60s and Clark in the 90's

You can find out by following the action at the clubs Presentation Night - see Casey Scorpions website.

 

Wall would have to be odds on- a smokie for me is Danny Nicholls.

 

will Pia be there? I might head down to casey for a look see....might be the last time we see her for a while :(

If the story about Miller taking a job at the club are true, you'll still have the opportunity to see plenty of her.

Correction ... you'll have the opportunity to see her plenty more times. :wub:

The winner of this year's Gardner-Clark Medal for best and fairest player with the Casey Scorpions is forward Brad Miller who polled 86 votes to head off runner up Kyle Cheney by the slender margin of three votes.

Defender Matthew Warnock finished third with 62 votes while first year player Danny Nicholls polled the most votes among the Casey listed players.

Unluckiest player was Michael Stockdale who missed the final six games plus two finals and still managed to finish in sixth place.

Miller was also the club's leading goal kicker with 42 including that match winning ten goal haul against Gold Coast late in the season.

Winner of the club's most improved award was Michael Riseley who played some exciting football after being promoted to play the last three senior games of the season (including two finals) while Ricky Plummer is the club's Rising Star.

The Alarah/Leader Award went to Kyle Cheney (seniors) and David Bell (reserves).

Other seniors awards went to:

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
