The Scorpions can expect a much tougher assignment this week against the VFL Magpies at the Holden Centre in what is virtually a curtain raiser to the big game except it's not at the MCG.

Here's the team selection but with the Melbourne team yet to be finalised, I wouldn't worry too much about this line up. Ben Newton's back but he won't be playing in the ruck and Max King, who is also back, probably will. And watch out for indigenous speedster Yarran Jaffer-Williams if he gets a run.

Haha! That's a strange line up, second week in a row. I like the look of Newton in the ruck and OMac in the guts!

Pretty much the same. No charge as for anyone as far as I know. 

Does anyone know what is the height,weight and age of Keilty?Has anyone been promoted off the rookie list for Melksham and King yet ? Is Tregove likely to play this weekend?

Keilty 194cm & 88kg

Wagner only rookie promoted so far

Misson says Trengove will play.

Anyone know how Lovett tracked in the D League last week?

Good to see Ed Morris return from injury

Super VFL player Ed Morris. Crucial to us this year given we've lost so many other experienced vfl players. 

No cost to get it as it's not a fenced ground!  Has some nice grassy hills to sit on last year's practice game there last year was great to watch from

Shocked that Trenners is playing after that concussion

I am pretty confident that our medical team are not taking any risks. Trenners needs to get a few games under his belt so as he can join Vines, Ollie, Brayshaw and the Truck in our elite midfield.

If Trengove can somehow get back to that 2010-2011 then wowee...

That's Misson code that  means he's out for a couple at least...

He walked around in a tracksuit on to the ground at quarter time, smiling and talking with people. Seemed perfectly fine and even if he had passed the concussion test they probably would have been taking a very conservative approach to him returning to the field given what is at stake here.

Good to see Max King playing.  There's a clear role for him in the MFC 22 if he's good enough.

I spoke to Trenners at 3/4 time and he said he was feeling normal so hoped to play following week. 

In the Development League game, the Scorpions wasted a strong wind advantage kicking 3.11.29 to Northern Blues' 1.1.7 and now trail in the shadows of half time by 5 points.

Trailing at half time by 13 points - 4.13.37 to 7.8.50.

He couldn't lie straight in bed.

KC, is Jaffer-Williams playing, or is he in the seniors?

hope JW gets into the Casey seniors

we will see some of his magic. highly rated youngster in the swans academy a few years ago. winmar-like...

Three quarter time: Casey Scorpions 8.17.65 have a slender lead over Northern Blues 9.8.62. The visitors have the aid of the wind in the final quarter.

Northern Blues used the wind to their advantage and eere all over the Scorpions recording a handy 35 point win.

Casey Scorpions 3.11.29 4.13.37 10.14.74 11.17.83

Northern Blues 1.1.7 7.7.49 11.7.73 18.10.118

He didn't play in the Development League which suggests he is probably in the Casey seniors tomorrow.
