Highlights:

The moment of truth for the Casey Scorpions. After four consecutive defeats, a loss to the Coburg Lions this week will put them one step away from missing out on the finals. A win guarantees their place in the top echelon and at least one game in September.

A few interesting returnees including Dean Kent on the interchange and a couple of Scorpions Morris and Smith as well as exciting Gippsland Power player Tom Papley.

Jack Fitzpatrick, Jayden Hunt and Jimmy Toumpas all out injured will make things tough.

WHITE inter from again, look I don't give a flying *^@! about paper teams but when a guy who has been playing sensational footy is still named as "Inter from" sheeit I think it sends out a pretty poor message to supporters and insults intelligence!

Friggen Casey, as I have said before , time to cut them adrift and have a standalone VFL Team!

You want to end a 20 year contract because a rookie was named on an extended interchange?

Nup I have said for a long time the Casey Dees alignment is tenuous at best, has been for a long time.

The Fevola situation started the cracks which IMO have still not been rectified.

Whilst you have independent powerbrokers who will continue to pump $$$ into getting a player ( Like Fev) Factions will still prevail.

LOL yeab lets cut Casey because MFC aren't giving a rookie list player a game.

Another one of your classic.

Top stuff Einstein.

What is the poor message it sends to supporters by the way???

I'm pretty sure the player knows exactly where he's playing on the weekend and that's all that matters really.

Just a hint...he will be playing for Casey VFL senior team in the backs.

i'd think anyone who's intelligence was insulted by this doesn't have a lot to work with in the first place

The Fevola situation is ancient history. Very different operation now

Big finish of the year for Kent, please, please, please.

I'll be happy if he plays out the year unscathed. Don't care where. His year is rooted anyway. It would be good to see him primed for a decent crack at pre-season & 2016

That is what I mean if a big finish for him... Couple of games and no injury.

That qualifies as a big finish ????

Ah yes, we are Melbourne. You're probably right

Uh yea. He has played how many games total? Showed flashes in some of those games yet appears to be important moving fwd. Get a few games in get the confidence up ready for another off season of training.

Note all the Melbourne emergencies named in the team. With 5 to come out and cover the seniors most of the bench will play and I am sure White will be in the team

I'll tell you what, I'm over you having a go at me whenever I have something to say. What say I catch up with you before the Carlton game and or any other time and we can just have a little chat. I don't care what this costs, I have had enough of your continued criticisms of my posts and personal attacks.

No King either?

i'll pay (up to a point) to watch

What do you think it costs compared to what we are already shelling out at the moment?

You might be surprised, if what I have heard is correct!

Then what you heard isn't correct.

Nor, in all likelihood, did you actually hear it.,

Jesus wept. He's in the side. He knows he's in the side. We all know he's in the side. He'll play the game, in the seniors. There is no other message being sent.

From reading the Plapp articles, the message he's getting is an encouraging one. Stop looking for gremlins that aren't there.

Settle down, PF.

It's a forum.

Chill.
