Casey Scorpions v Bendigo Gold (Jesse Hogan hurt)

[KC from Casey 7,057]

With two rounds left to play the Scorpions return to Casey Fields for their final home game against lowly Bendigo Gold who have yet to win a game and who would have to pull off a minor major miracle if they get the points. Despite some shaky form of late, Casey would hardly be likely to want to give away the double chance.

How many goals off top spot in the goal kicking is young Jesse?

[Young Dee 1,303]

How many games have they had on ABC?

Wish I could have watched more of them and less of Melbourne this year!

I assume the finals are televised.

[Young Dee 1,303]

How many goals off top spot in the goal kicking is young Jesse?

He had kicked 37 goals and was coming fourth following the game against Collingwood on 27 July.

So he must have played a game after that and then didn't play last week (rested), so he is unlikely to win it!

Young gun Hogan thrives as Scorpion

51 Ben Warren (Werribee Tigers),

Michael Lourey (Frankston)

48 Dean Galea (Port Melbourne)

39 Jesse Hogan (Casey Scorpions)

37 Jackson Paine (Collingwood)

36 Liam McBean (Coburg Tigers)

He's twelve goals behind the two leaders who are on 51. Who knows if he kicks a huge bag this week against Bendigo Gold he might be some sneaky chance but you'd think he'd need at least 8 this week to get within range going in to the final round.

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Tom Couch must have had a bad hammy as he's still not back playing for Casey.

Genuinely stunning effort regardless.

I'm actually excited to see him play in the finals. He should enjoy that while he can.

Ben Warren must be getting looked at by AFL clubs again.

Gillies named in Casey 2's as well, oopphh. Is he coming back from an injury?

No a bad case of NGE

[Invincible 9]

Anyone going tomorrow? Will miss my first game in about 10 weeks, updates would be great. Thanks.

[Tony Tea 2,806]

Don't wait to be told,

You need Ben-di-go Gold.

What, you mean Bendigo Gold is not soap? Must be cigarettes.

Gillies is the worst player I have ever seen pull on a Melbourne jumper, bar none!!!

Adam Maric and Brent Grgic say hi!

[Cards13 9,117]

Ps I assume Gilli is not coming back from injury...

[whatwhat say what 22,641]

Adam Maric and Brent Grgic say hi!

I see yr Maric and Brent 'the original Watts' Grgic and raise you Darren 'Moo' Kowal!

My cousin tells a story that apparently he ran off as part of an interchange and I stood up and hollered 'and keep running!!'.

[NowWeKnow 130]

Adam Maric and Brent Grgic say hi!

That's harsh. Brent had his moments. I remember round 8 1998 like it was yesterday. Brent was (for at least one quarter in his career) a dead set legend.

[Cards13 9,117]

So we all agree in Mazza then?

True Brent did have a moment and I'll absolutely give him that moment. What a tease!

[KC from Casey 7,057]

The Casey Scorpions are kicking against the breeze but they're off to a flyer with 3.0.18 to 0.1.1.

Best opened the goal kicking and then Taggert booted the next two.

Jesse Hogan came down awkwardly and looks like he's hurt his knee.

Dominic Barry isn't playing.

Of Melbourne's three emergencies for tomorrow, Max Gawn and Dan Nicholson are out there. Cam Pedersen is the likely emergency for tomorrow's game.

[deanox 9,896]

Just kick it to Hogan!

[KC from Casey 7,057]

Rodan ... four bounces ... goal.

[Fitzy36 29]

Good to see Taggert start well. Is Josh Tynan playing? Was off early last week and noticed he was named last on interchange so guessing he was a test. Both 2nd year players out of contract and hoping to see them play themselves into a new contract.

[KC from Casey 7,057]

Jake Best gets his second goal and its 5.0.30 to 0.1.1.

Josh Tynan is out there but is on the bench at the moment.

[ThreeOneSix 954]

Who is Best and where is he from?

[Fitzy36 29]

Thanks for letting me know mate, champion

[Invincible 9]

Mate just called me to say Hogan injured and in the rooms any reports?
