Things are a little more low key this week at the Casey Scorpions following last week's ground-breaking 70 point win over Footscray in the First Qualifying Final. 

The win gives the seniors a week's break and they will be back in Preliminary Final action against the winner of the Williamstown v Sandringham Semi Final at North Port Oval on Saturday.

That game will be the curtain raiser for the weekend's big game - the Development League Preliminary Final between the Casey Scorpions and Williamstown. 

AFL VICTORIA DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE 
PRELIMINARY FINAL
CASEY SCORPIONS v WILLIAMSTOWN 
Saturday 17 September 2016
North Port Oval at 2.40pm

WILLIAMSTOWN 

B: McMahon Carter Minogue
HB: Hetherington Myers Greiser
C: Norton Schultz Monk
HF: Ebinger Owen Chisari
F: Davies Critchley Conway
FOLL: Curtis Hislop Anastasio
I/C (from): Brumby Burke Carter Condon Di Ciero Eales Johnstone Maher Philpot Sullivan

One man who will not be taking part in the Preliminary Final is Melbourne's forgotten man Dean Terlich who was suspended for one match following the Qualifying Final win. The Scorpions have a few handy players likely to come in to replace him - Christian Salem, Jay Kennedy-Harris and rookie Joel Smith all missed last week's game.

The focus will turn to the JJ Liston Trophy on Monday night where Viv Michie, Alex Neal-Bullen and Jack Grimes have all been mentioned as potential winners. Problem is that they may all have taken away too many votes individually thereby preventing one of them from winning. 

Casey's Declan Keilty is one of the favourites for the Fothergill-Round Medal for the most promising young talent in the competition. 

KC can you confirm Terlich only got 1 game? I understand he got an extra game due to poor record, but does that mean he was originally found guilty but got 0 weeks?

It said one game in the tribunal report.

Would have gotten a reprimand but his record got him a game off.

Do you know what time it starts KC ?, hopefully it will be streamed on the VFL website

Thanks Samael, that's what I was looking for. 

Id read one game. And i'd read, an extra game due to bad record.  But i hadn't seen anywhere say, reprimand plus one game for the bad record, and just wanted to clarify. 

 

I'm by no means a massive Terlich fan but I reckon he has been hard done by at melbourne these past two years.  I can't believe that he has been the only player undeserving of a call up in that time. I'm sure there are issues, in all, performance and personality, but it just seems a bit odd. 

As a result, I hope we get to send him off with a win in the premiership.  It would cap a career where he has gotten the most out of his limitations.

Can anyone confirm which day we play? The Sat or Sunday?

Scorpions look like playing the Seagulls in the Seniors Preliminary Final. They have a comfortable lead over Sandringham in their semi final.

Quarter Time: Williamstown 3.5.23 lead Casey 2.3.15

It's been a sluggish start for the Development League boys with the Seagulls on top for most of the term.

A couple of goals to Casey put them in front. Some good goal assists from Max King there.

The lead has changed a couple of times with Willy getting in front by a goal late in the quarter.

Half Time: Williamstown lead 7.7.49 to Casey Scorpions 7.6.48

Goals Di Pasquale 2 Cox Freeman Hillard Daniel Johnston Pattison

Disposals Wilson 16 Ferriera 15 Moncrieff 14

Scorps have a 4 point lead 10 minutes into the third.

The game has ebbed and flowed with Casey leading by 15 points at one stage but Williamstown kicked the last three goals of the quarter to lead by 3 points at the final break 76 - 73.

Goals Di Pasquale Fritsch 2 Anderson Cox Freeman  Hillard Jaffer-Williams Daniel Johnston Pattison

Disposals D Collis 22 Moncrieff Wilson 19

Seagulls have now scored the last five goals and are 15 points in front.

Only five points in it as Di Pasquale gets his third.

Vander Haar puts Casey in front by 1 point halfway through the final quarter.

Seems there are two close games on today. One in Sydney between GWS and the Swans and the other in the VFL Development League.

Yep. Scores level with both sides on 91 but Casey the more accurate with 14.7.91 to Williamstown 13.13.91.

Bailey Fritsch marks in the goal square and boots his third. Casey lead by 8 points.

A point in it as Willy goal. The pendulum swings again!

Level at 99 apiece. 26 minutes gone.

It's that man Fritsch again. He goals!!!
