Dunno if people have seen this and I don't think it's been posted yet.

Reserves
Rohan Bail – Rohan was the best player in the seconds. He got through the game and will almost certainly be called up for senior duties for us next week. Rohan played half-back and on the ball, using it really well. He's a good young talent we have high expectations for.

Simon Buckley – Simon only played a half. It was about him getting a run. He did that OK and actually wanted to play a bit more. Next week, he should be able to play a full game.

Rhys Healey – Rhys knows how to get the ball – he's a magnet. He worked hard to win the ball, but he needs to tidy up his disposal at times. He gained 20-odd possessions.

Jack Watts – He played a bit onball and down back as well. Jack's showed clean ball-handling skills and decision-making ability and his class in tough conditions.

Matthew Whelan – Matty got a bit more game time in. He's played at 50 or 60 per cent, but was up to 80 this week. He was solid and strong in the backline and should be getting close to playing senior footy for us.

Trent Zomer – Trent worked hard in the ruck. We didn't want to go too tall in the seniors, so it was a good opportunity for him to have a run around in the seconds. He did a really good job.

Seniors
Casey Scorpions 5.3 5.3 11.9 14.12 (96)
Frankston 0.0 5.6 6.6 8.9 (57)

Frankston
Goals: T.Dickson 2, J.Berry 2, M.Lourey 2, J.Magner, S.Pollard

Casey Scorpions
Goals: R.Robertson 5, A.Silvagni 3, D.Hughes 2, T.McNamara, B.Vernon, J.Wall, A.Wonaeamirri
Best: K.Matthews, J.Wall, R.Robertson, S.Valenti, A.Silvagni, M.Stockdale

Seniors
Daniel Bell – He only played a half. He took a heavy knock, so he was rested up in the second half. He played in the midfield and got his hands on the ball a bit, so hopefully he'll be OK to play this week.

Kyle Cheney – Kyle played in the backline. He did a solid job, gave us that run, and gave us good composure. He was quite serviceable.

Jack Grimes – He played wing/half-back and was good. Jack used the ball well and without being outstanding, (and) was a solid contributor.

Daniel Hughes – Daniel was very good. He got a bit of a knock early, but pushed through it and kicked a couple of goals. He kicked the most outstanding goal of the day, from the boundary and into the breeze about 40 metres out – it was almost from an impossible angle. He came up from the reserves to show some of the class he's got. Daniel also took some fine marks as a hit-up forward. It was a really solid game from him.

Jordie McKenzie – Jordie played onball and on the wing and was probably one of our better players. He also pushed back. He also took some fine marks and was prepared to run hard. In the last quarter, he took some strong marks, which we hadn't seen before, so there is a lot of upside with him.

Tom McNamara – Tom played at half-back and was in our top four players. He restricted his opponent and also got his hands on the ball. He read the ball really well in the windy conditions.

Russell Robertson – Russell did a terrific job. He could only score in two of the quarters, because of the conditions. He made the most of his opportunities, but the last couple of weeks he's been showing good signs, kicking 3.5 last week and five goals this week.

Shane Valenti – Shane was given close attention again. He did a lot of the grunt work and a lot of the team things. He was outstanding in doing that and he helped his teammates out. Shane was one of our really strong team players on the day.

Austin Wonaeamirri – Aussie played in bursts in his first game back. He had about 13 disposals as a forward pocket. We pushed him up onto the wing in the last quarter and he had an opportunity to run around a bit more. It was good for him to get a run under his belt. He showed some good zip and explosiveness at ground level.

Lot's of good news in there this week, Aussie and Buckley back into some game time. Whelan continuing to get some match fitness and game time, Grimes also coming back and playing a solid game and good too see Bell back playing some form of football and playing in the midfield is good in my opinion.

Also quite interesting too see Watts playing on the ball and a kick behind play at times and it's awesome to hear we've got a player who has got good decision making skills and clean hands and what's even better was it was in shit conditions.

ZOMG! was in the bests and the goals, hopefully he can keep contributing like that for the next few weeks and hopefully can get a gig for the seniors. Cheney going back to Casey and getting on with things, good too see he's gone back to Casey and kept playing some solid footy.

Bail dominating and getting best on ground is excellent, especially coming back from injury and hopefully he can do similar things next week in the Casey seniors. I personally can't wait too see him running around in the red and blue and hopefully that's happening soon.

Great news this week.

These aren't written by us, they get posted on the Melbourne website.

They come from Peter German through the week I believe.

Perhaps we could sticky this and post all future reports in here?

It probably doesn't deserve a sticky does it? Usually one of us posts it during the week and it gets the discussion it deserves. I suppose last week all that we really got from it was that Robbo was ready to go. I'll be very interested to see this weeks report because it was a very good team performance and a lot of guys are pushing selection.

I personally think Dez has a point, as we are a up and coming side the reserves (better known as vfl and vfl reserves) are the point where we want to look.

Fans from other clubs may like to see it as well to see where we are heading.

Just a thought, imo its like people talking about the tanking or not, it is more prevalent though because these kids, WILL be the future of Melbourne, whether they are games or being super mega superstars as with the case with Watts.
