The Seven Network has virtually ignored the Casey Scorpions since it took over the screening rights for VFL football but suddenly it can't get enough of them.

The telecast of this week's game at the Whitten Oval between the Scorps and the Doggies starts at 11.30am on Seven.

Why is Clayton Oliver player here and not at Etihad?

Because he wasn't selected in the AFL side.  Brayshaw, Wagner and Bugg were added to the AFL squad which will be trimmed to 23 players by 5pm today.  Someone will be the emergency and the other two will go in to the Casey team

Max King ... Mystery injury for this week !!

He didnt do enough in the Richmond game to justify elevation.

So thats possibly the longest list of available MFC players we've had this year at the selection table.

Look forward to heading to Whitten Oval on Sunday!

Dogs better bring the lube for this game.

Mind you, Werribee are second last and hit by injuries,  

Is it an easy train from the Whitten Oval to Spencer Street?

My guess is that except in the event of someone going out of the Melbourne side through injury, Billy Stretch will be the player who is the stand in emergency and that Bugg and Wagner will play for Casey. 

An important few weeks for Trengrove coming up.

Would be great to see him finish off the season strongly accompanied by a return to the Melbourne side in the remaining rounds.

a very strong looking casey this week with so many mfc players available. no excuses for not winning

Real easy. West Footscray station is just metres from the Whitten oval and Southern Cross is just 4 stops down the track.

It is if you can fight.

Warriors come out to playay

Is nobody reporting this (for those who don't own a television set)?

Yes - Dean Terlich gets the first goal.

Scorps have the advantage of the wind which as those who know the ground can be significant.
