Highlights:

Another big game for the Casey Scorpions that have to arrest their current losing streak or face being unceremoniously dumped from the top eight.

Jack Fitzpatrick, Oscar McDonald and Casey's Ed Morris are back in the team while important key forward Tim Smith comes back through the development league team but skipper Evan Panozza is out.

Jake Lovett returns for another cameo as 23rd player.

Plapp’s balancing act

I Lovett.. Eheh

KC, just a quick thank-you for all of your posts with regard to the Scorps during the season especially the gameday posts. They are much appreciated by me.



Moderators your intervention required for a post here

Only 1 Casey player named on the field, that's amazing.

We've been bloody good with injuries this year.

where did you get "only 1" from?

Plapp’s balancing act

Thanks Jack. This article should be music to our ears, and a far cry from what we were witnessing just 12 months ago. Importantly, I get the distinct impression that Plapp is true to his word, and what he has said is a statement of facts, and not something churned out because it's what supporters will want to hear.

The Scorpions' development league have started like a house on fire in an important game for them. At quarter time they lead 4.5.29 to Williamstown 0.3.3

At half time, it's carnage here as the Scorps development league leads 7.10.52 to Williamstown's 0.3.3.

Willy get their goal but it's 8.10.58 to 1.6.12.

At ¾ time, a bit of a late fightback by Williamstown but Casey well in control at 9.11.65 to 4.6.30 and coming home with the breeze.

Meanwhile, the illness to Christian Salem means another player will be withdrawn from the Casey seniors making their task even tougher today with Aidan Riley the likely resting replacement player.

A great 58 point win to the boys - that should shore up their position in the finals.

Good to see Tim Smith getting a goal in his return from injury.

The opening goal of the game to Jack Fitzpatrick - welcome back to the forward line.

Jack Fitzpatrick gets his second.

Stretch and Jamar playing here.

Twenty minute mark and the Scorps lead by 10 points: 2.5.17 to 1.1.7.

Fitzy with his third - kicked it out of the air off a pack in the goal square.

Fitzy's on fire!!!

Quick response and the lead is back to 10 points.

Nathan Page marks and goals to make it 16 points again. He's been a handy little player in front of goal in recent weeks.

Free kick and goal to Williamstown late in the quarter.

Casey 4.5.29 to 3.1.19 and that's the quarter time score.

Goals Fitzpatrick 3 Page

Great quarter from Fitzy and Jimmy Toumpas is fired up after a disappointing performance last week.

Possibly not enough of a lead at this stage of proceedings.

Fitzy just marked on the flank and ran 70m bouncing the ball with a Tiger on his tail into the goal square for a goal!
