Hmm... Bennell and Blease named. It's confusing to think what we should take out of it - Bennell dropped? Blease just given continuity?

I reckon both those names would have been first on the list to be dropped if there were players that HAD to be moved up. Maric/Bate/Tappy for example.

Aaaah. Never mind. Forgot there's no red and blue this weekend momentarily. Blease getting a good 4 quarters in would be good. Bennell needs to be dropped for the weekend after next though.

I'd take out of it that Melbourne have a bye this week, and the players who need the run and are eligible for one will get one. It means stuff all in the context of who will be playing next week.

Presumably when MFC have a bye, there's some rules (or at the very least, a gentlemen's agreement) about which players are eligible to line up for Casey. Much like when Casey are playing finals after the MFC season has finished.

No Cameron Bruce for the Hawks - I'm disappointed. He was supposed to be back this week.

It means that both need the work and that both are fighting for the space. Tapscott will go in you would think. Bennell was disappointing against the dogs. Blease needs game time. Let the cream rise to the top.

I saw him on the TV tonight with the Hawk party off to Tassie today!

There should be 3 spots for the following players in Darwin: Macdonald (depending on fitness), Morton, Blease, Bennell, Bartram, Tapscott

Old fashion playoff for selection.

I'm going for Macdonald (recover from injury), Tapscott and Bennell.

The following tweet from Craig Lees of the MFC suggests that Robert Campbell will be playing in the Casey Reserves tomorrow:-

Casey V Box Hill tomorrow. Reserves 11am seniors 2pm @ casey fields. Reserves will have 3 dees playing, the seniors 14. Get along!

Very much consistent with the youth push at Melbourne.

Does a Melbourne membership gain free entry to Casey games?

Does a Melbourne membership gain free entry to Casey games?

It does. However, please note that when memberships were issued this year, members should have received a Casey Scorpions membership ticket.

You should take this with you to guarantee free admission although I've noticed that the people at the gate are very nice and helpful so bring your MFC ticket along if you don't have a Casey ticket.

Thanks heaps

It's absolutely blowing a gale in Cranny. The Scorps have been exposed to this sort of weather every time they've come out to play in the last five or six weeks!

blowing a gale everywhere today bud...

Forget the wind. It's absolutely persistently pouring down here at the moment.

Reminiscent of the day last year when Lynden Dunn kicked a bag against Box Hill last year.

The Ressies had a big win against one of the leading teams:

Casey Scorpions 0.1.1 3.2.20 5.6.36 7.11. 53

Box Hill Hawks 0.2.2 0.5.5 0.5.5 1.7.13

Is there any radio coverage? Whats happened to Casey Radio?

Weather getting worse.

Bater kicks first goal after a footrace in the wet. He lost the race but his opponent slid across the ground and the big redhead snapped truly.

1.1.7 to 0.0.0 after 14 minutes.

Second goal to Bate.

Late in the opening quarter 2.2.14 to 0.0.0.

And that's the quarter time score.

Bate playing well in the wet. The sky is falling. Hope some of the others are playing well as well. Tapscott for one.

First goal to Box Hill after 9 minutes.

Casey 2.3.15

Box Hill 1.0.6

Is there a breeze favouring one end? (ie the end Casey had in the first)

Goal off the ground from Dunn puts Casey 15 points in front.

Half Time

Casey Scorpions 3.4.22

Box Hill 1.1.7
