Looks a better balanced side 'KC', a bit of height back and forward.

JKH ... this weeks mystery illness

Continues MFCs 10 year tradition !!!

[Samael 560]

I am predicting all 23 will be defending and no goals scored. Will be interesting to travel back to Bendigo. Went to Boarding School up there in the early 70's and played in two premierships at the QE oval. Actually snowed in 72. Hope the weather has improved.

Or he could just be having a rest considering he is a first year player and has played every game this year.

No excuses here, Bendigo gold are about as useful as a [censored] flavoured lollypop

i hope barry plays as a tagger all day and has a good game.

i really want him to make it.

and i hope that blease keeps putting pressure on roos to select him by weight of possessions and a concerted workrate.

[KingDingAling 3,613]

Salem will carve it up, as he always does in the midfield.

[Whispering_Jack 28,009]

Westrupp getting his first run in the seniors.

He was named in both the senior and development league teams last week but missed out on the main game. Judging by the MFC Casey report, he should be right to go against Bendigo Gold.

This is probably Bendigo's last chance for a win in the VFL before it makes its exit, so poorly has Casey been playing lately.

I have a theory that it relates to the fact that Casey is being instilled with the same defensive style as is happening at Melbourne. We've seen how hard it is to get a young team to learn this style at AFL level but it must be a lot harder when half your team is made up of young lighter bodied part timers, some of who have hardly had a previous season.

And here's a preview from the Bendigo perspective ~

Now that he has resigned for another two years we all hope that he will make it!

[spirit of norm smith 13,024]

Jkh ... having a rest!!! he has been sub 5 times. We had a bye as well. He needs game time.

[Samael 560]

Anyone going?

Yep

[IvanBartul13 2,564]

Heaven help the development league team! How many touches Jimmy Magner?

What's he doing playing in the development league?

[JV7 2,339]

What's he doing playing in the development league?

Think he went overseas for couple of weeks

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,463]

Is there really a Bendigo team? Surely a team with players called Stroobants, Heavyside and Aarts can't possibly exist except in the imagination of JK Rowling.

[KC from Casey 6,562]

Casey Scorpions have confirmed two new debutants to the senior team for its clash with Bendigo Gold - Dale Gawley and MFC international rookie from New Zealand, Maia Westrupp.

Looking forward to your reports KC, thanks for your efforts.

[sydneydee 647]

Good luck to both new debutants

Quarter Time in the development squad and Casey Scorpions lead 4.0.24 to Port Melbourne 3.3.21

[KC from Casey 6,562]

Half Time in the development league game and Casey is not without a chance although it trails Port Melbourne 7.4.46 to 5.5.35.
