Goal to Bennell who has had a shocker today but Casey are 44 points down and on their way to a semi final v the Northern Bullants.

All over and a disappointing 32 point loss to the Scorpions who, at least, live to fight another day.

Any news on when and where next week is?

Was at the game today and was a rotten day.

Would have to be a big change for next week. Please no Bennel he was terrible!

No chance of that because Bennell is no longer eligible for the finals now that Melbourne's season has ended. The bad news is that Matty Warnock is also no longer available.

Tough assignment. Bullants looked good against Collingwood.

Bennell played as though his season was already finished. Casey played one short with Bennell who didn't get many possessions but never looked like getting close to the ball or putting any pressure on the opposition ball carrier. Warnock will be a loss though. Was probably Casey's best.

Bennell was nothing but horrible. Terrible output from a player that has more than that to offer. Luckily for him his next game is not for 6 mths otherwise he would be a fair way back in playing for the Dees.

He is better than that and needs to show it, whether with Melbourne or Casey.

I believe that Aussie is eligible to play but wonder about him. He looked stuffed at the end of yesterday's game although things will be much easier paced.

I like to think he has been carrying a niggle.

Gee, he and Bennell can go missing across that half forward line.

I spoke to Dean Bailey about Bennell the other day, his answer was that he wasn't going to get a game in Adelaide because they thought he was running out of steam/form after a long season, but they persisted but dropped him this week, I assume Brad Gotch gets some say in who he wants to play, unless he wasn't given a choice.....

Tough ask for Scorps against 'Ants

"THE good news is Casey is still alive despite Sunday's 32-point qualifying final loss at the hands of dual premier North Ballarat.

"The bad is that a cut-throat final awaits on the back of a six-day break and against a Northern Bullants side oozing Carlton stars."

I don't rate the Bullants. Carlton stars or not, we should beat them. I've seen them play 3 times this year and they've not been that impressive.

Let's be positive and kick arse.
