Looks like they'll have to do it hard with just a couple of Demons after they sort out the interchanges and emergencies.

Looks like they'll have to do it hard with just a couple of Demons after they sort out the interchanges and emergencies.

Correct.

You can already scratch Bennell, Jamar and McKenzie and probably one more as an emergency.

[KC from Casey 7,042]

It's a big day for the Scorps who go into their final home and away match undermanned again as a result of Melbourne's huge injury list. Only four Demons out there - PJ, Stef, Valenti and Zomer. As usual, the boys will give it their all. Good luck guys!

Unfortunately, the reserves were really struggling for numbers and the result was a predictable slaughter against the top side.

[KC from Casey 7,042]

I'm not sure which is the worst way to lose a game - a thrashing like the one suffered by the ressies or a 1 point loss which is the way Casey seniors went down today. A pretty courageous effort from a team that was yet again undermanned although in the end, it didn't make much difference because the Northern Bullant won their game which meant that either way Casey would finish in the bottom half of the eight. The day was also soured by the report to Pierce Liddle who earlier in the week was invited to the Northern Territory draft screening camp to be held in ealy October.

You gotta love the Scorps. Fantastic effort from them in the last 6-8 weeks with so few of their MFC players available, and not a significant contribution from any who played against Box Hill by the look of it.

KC, do you have any idea how many Dees have qualified to help you guys out in the finals?

And did Newton not play? He wasn't in the Dees (was he emergency?), he's not on the injury list.

top effort from the boys, and casey i agree, i cant decide which is a worse way to lose, 140 points or 1 point...

my gut tells me 1 point at the death is much worse. but it is good to hear that other results mean this result will not affect the scorps final standing.

go scorps in the finals.
