Dawes on the ball, he definitely has the agility for that role...

That's a strong and experienced Hawks team.  A win will set Casey's season up really well, and speak volumes about Melbourne's depth.

Last week he was named on a HBF. 

Mr Versatility? 

3 years ago that was the nucleus of our best 22 in the seniors!!!! We have come a long way

No Fitzy for Box Hill which is a shame.

Should be about 15 Melbourne listed players tomorrow night, so hoping for a win!

I'm a rough chance to get to the game tomorrow night. If I do I'll send updates through.

Am I right that vanders will be making his Casey debut?

Off the MFC website titled, "No Time frame for Lumumba"

In better news for Melbourne, utility Aaron vandenBerg is set to play this weekend for Casey, after missing the past five rounds with an ankle injury.

“Vanders is going to play VFL this week against Box Hill. He’s trained really well the past few weeks and he’s rehabbed that ankle really well and he’s looking forward to playing,” Misson said.

That's my recollection also.  Fairly certain he came straight into the Melbourne seniors at the start of last year, and has played all his games at that level.

Yes noticed Vanders at training this week and looked ready to go.

Not a bad team for Casey this week. of the 15 MFC players named in the team only 4 ( Hulett, Weideman, Max King and Smith) have not had first team experience.

 

 

They're gonna miss ANB down there. 30 touches and probably a goal gone from the side. Hopefully Vanders can walk straight in and dominate for Casey as he has for Melbourne in the past and they push Salem into the midfield for a fair chunk of the game to get his hands on the ball.

Wow, O'Rourke crossing from gws to Hawthorn has done wonders for his career. I hope he is enjoying the noodle box at Box Hill....

We may have burnt a pick selecting Toumpas at 4, but O'Rourke has to be the biggest bust of the 2012 draft.

O'Rourke was greedy by choosing the Hawks.  He thought he would rock up there and win a flag, yet he chose a side at the peak of it's powers and he can't get a run.  He would have been much better going to a middle of the road club, like the Saints for example, where he would have been given far more opportunities.  

Instead he is languishing in the reserves and his football career is at a stand still.

Thanks KC & Hells Bells, really appreciate every bit of info and updates on Casey. I agree we have come a long way over the past two and a bit years.  - Go Scorps!!

O'Rourke, Toumpas, Morton, Aish and Kane Lucas could all be the same player.

I'm absolutely spewin' that I can't make it to this game tonight as I have a prior commitment,will keep a keen eye on this thread this evening.

Go Casey,a win against the Hawks would be awesome.

The Development Leage team down by 19 points to the very strong Box Hill Hawks at quarter time - 2.0.12 to 5.1.31.

The only thing is it didn't matter a bit to GWS, they had a whole bunch more first round picks to get right or wrong...it was a numbers game for them they were going to get something good  but for us it was a very important pick and we got it wrong.

Will be heading along tonight. Will give my usual reviews after the match.

Half Time in the DL - Box Hill Hawks 7.3.45 to Casey Scorpions 5.0.30.

Working hard and kicking straight against strong opposition.

Did any of our boys end up in the DL? I know king and Smith were named

The third quarter opened under lights but the Scorpions haven't been able to make any inroads into the Hawks lead.

3QT: Hawks lead by 15 points 9.7.61 to 7.4.46.
