Casey Scorpions Pink Ribbon Game

This weekend's Casey Scorpions v Geelong match is the club's Annual Pink Ribbon Game to help raise funds to find a cure for breast cancer.

Saturday 4 July, 2015 at Casey Fields 2.00pm

Despite the great cause, the Casey Scorpions continue to be shunned by the media. The Scorpions have only had one televised game to date this season and Casey Radio which operates from the area for some reason has been covering other football matches recently.

With Melbourne playing out of town in this round, it is hoped that Demon supporters will come down and support their boys and a great cause.

The development league team plays Sandringham at Trevor Barker Beach Oval, Sandringham from 9.30am.

VFL footy is back this weekend with Casey's pink ribbon game:-

Good luck to Newton playing in the guts.

I'm sure he'll feel more at home there.

Hunt's back so quick after a broken jaw?

Anything wrong with Tim Smith KC?

Huge chance for King to play a game as the main man forward for the Scorps. Similarly Newton, Michie and Harmes should get full chance in the midfield to impress.

Another injury in Lumumba and taking the 2 emergencies up will test the depth.

King was the Main forward last week..

Will Bartel or even a handful of other Geelong players play in this now their game's called off?

Only if they have been named I believe.

Bartel has been given permission to play.

Jimmy Bartel, Dawson Simpson and Billie Smedts allowed to play in Geelongs VFL team

Should be a great game! I'll definitely be heading down.

I'll be at work

geez bartel is not a bad player to throw in the 2's.

I'll be going too if I can get up in time to make the decent hike

I love the look of our spine with Fitzy, O. McDonald, Harmes and King. These four will ensure that we maintain some depth as we slowly climb the ladder.

It will be interesting to see the final line ups for today's main game at Casey Fields.

The Geelong interchange bench for the Adelaide game was Bartel, Bews, Jansen, Kolodjashnij, Luxford and Walker. The Cats most likely would have taken an extra player to Adelaide if not two as Melbourne has done with the Darwin game.

If all seven interchange players take part it would be a massive advantage to the Cats but in the circumstances, one can hardly complain.

Geelong's gesture is both humane and sporting and with no play last week due to the bye, they are at least entitled to get some game time into the players in contention for a spot in their AFL team.

The injuries at Melbourne and to a lesser extent at Casey will leave the Scorpions with no more than 10 or 11 AFL listed players which includes 3 rookies making their game today in the wet conditions, a very tough ask.

Radar shows the rain should be passing soon. Thank Huey for that! Cold enough as it is without being wet. Fuelling up now with a coffee before heading down for a beer, a Grouseburger ® and hopefully a good game.

Actually had physio this morning from a guy who grew up in Terang and knew Geordie Mc quite well. Said Geordie won all the school athletics comps for his age group. Played a lot of local footy with his older brother. Said his brother had trouble with kicking as well!

Channel 7 must have had a bad experience down at Casey Fields.

Didn't know we had another McDonald at Casey - made me think of J. Macdonald.

We do have a J. McDonald and he's been playing in the development league team.

Jackson McDonald.

Jamar is up against a huge unit in Dawson Simpson in the ruck. But took a strong mark at CHF and kicked true for our 1st goal.

The Russian marks and scores Casey's first goal, quickly followed by one to Nathan Paredes.

Casey 2.2.14 to Geelong 0.0.0.

Second goal to Casey. Didn't see who.
