Players eligible for the 2012 finals series:-

Lucas Cook, Tom Couch, Troy Davis, Jack Fitzpatrick, Jordan Gysberts, Jai Sheahan, Jake Spencer, Josh Tynan and Leigh Williams.

The full list of players from all clubs participating in the VFL finals is interesting - Finals Eligibility - AFL Players.

Melbourne's spate of season-ending injuries to the likes of Jamie Bennell, Michael Evans, Cale Morton and Ricky Petterd (all qualified to play finals) and with Liam Jurrah taking leave of absence and Kelvin Lawrence returning to Perth has made things difficult for Brett Lovett at Casey.

By way of contrast, Geelong has 22 players eligible while both North Melbourne aligned clubs North Ballarat have more AFL eligible players than does Casey. Essendon's affiliate Bendigo Gold has 17 Bombers on its list despite their injury list.

Half Time in the Development League Game and Casey leads 5.3.33 to Box Hill Hawks 2.5.17.

KC - is Cook doing anything remarkable?

Don't even know if he's in the seniors or in the early game. I'm just passing on the scores ATM.

Won't be at the ground for another ½ to ¾ of an hour.

Scorps lead by three points at ¾ time in the curtain raiser.

ABC telecast starting now.

is tom couch playing?

if not then a chance for melbourne tomorrow?

I think you might find that Couch is the Melbourne emergency held back for tomorrow.

Is it just me, or is our midfield of Jamar, Moloney, Gysberts and Magner just as strong as our MFC centre square?

Ten minutes in and Sandy doing all the attacking with the wind and leading 1.2.8 to 0.0.0

Loving watching Jack Fitz play today. Looks like a genuine tall forward. Hope he keeps developing.

Goal to the Mitch Gent puts the Scorps second on the board after Fitzpatrick opened the account. Casey in front 2.0.12 to 1.3.9.

Sure hope no AFL listed player is on Hallahan, because that was very lazy defensive work.

The big fella is going well.

Ha! Look at that bench.

The big fella is going well.

Needs a haircut though. Neeld strikes me as a man who would appreciate short back and sides.

Quarter Time: Sandringham 4.4.28 to Casey Scorpions 2.0.12

Goals to Fitzpatrick and Gent.

Scorps held them well until a few late goals gave the Zebs the break. The boys need to use the breeze well this quarter.

Stats leaders: Collins 14, L.Tynan, Sheahan 8, Magner, Gysberts 7, Bate 6.

Casey's first goal of the second quarter to Gysberts but Casey has been struggling to score with the wind.

Cook played in the Development League?

Not good.

Jack Fitzpatrick marks on a lead and kicks his second to make it 2 points the difference.

Moloney's long shot hits the base of the post and it's a one point game @ 20 minutes. Another point and scores level.

Cook played in the Development League?

Not good.

Chin up. At least we didn't get Brent Prismall.

Number 30 for Casey is a peanut.

A courageous mark by Matty Bate and goal gives Casey the lead 5.4.34 to 4.4.28.

Fitzpatrick accepts a lead from Josh Tynan but misses.
