Happy for Kyle Cheney. He's one of those players who gets the best out of himself and he deserves his place in what's likely to be the top team after round 1.

I should be right by about round 4 though.

To be fair, Tommy was subbed off before the end of the game in what was probably the match winning move by the coach.

Adelaide looking very impressive and playing with a lot more confidence than last year.

Kudos should go to KC who covered the three Casey Scorpions practice matches and was adamant from first sight that he should be playing at Melbourne and not in the VFL.

NITV replayed the NT Thunder v Ainslie NEAFL game and unfortunately, vandenBerg played no role in what was to be his last game. I missed the shoulder injury but when I couldn't pick him up I lost interest in the game. Glad our recruiters persevered.

Shows what a night of celebrating a win can do.His nephew Angus went ok that day too.

Appeals Board could sway an ASADA challenge, says lawyer I don't agree with an appeal to any place other than to CAS which is really the only place where you're going to get finality and a proper interpretation in a legal framework of the events that occurred at Essendon in 2011/2 as we know them at the present time.

Casey plays Werribee next week but today, the Tigers play the Australian Under 18 team at Simmonds Stadium at 12:30pm. I believe it was in an equivalent game last year played against Collingwood VFL, James Angus Brayshaw played a blinder to place himself among the favourites for a top draft spot.

There were lots of them in a win like yesterday's but my favourite was Heritier Lumumba's interception, mark, play on and goal because it represented everything that Melbourne was not in almost a whole decade - adventurous, attacking, purposeful and decisive.

Have you ever heard Redleg sing it?

The selectors have a tough job ahead of them. You would think Dawes and Vince should come in but at whose expense? Possibly one of JKH & Jimmy Toumpas but I don't think it's both.

Sorry, I got lost for a while. Yes - Casey won well in the end. Casey Scorpions 3.5.23 5.6.36 11.10.76 15.11.101 Collingwood VFL 2.1.13 6.4.40 10.6.66 10.9.69 Bernie was fantastic. Jordie McKenzie and Jake Spencer were very good and Billy Stretch showed some great poise and will be a player.

Spencer marks and goals. Lead is 17 points.

Another to Casey gives them an 11 point lead.

Goal to Petropoulos.

Warming up for Canberra next week.

Game swinging back and forth. Max King goals on the run to put the Scorps back in front.

Goal to Aidan Riley puts the Scorps back in front - then another to Paraedes.

Half Time: Collingwood 6.4.40 to Casey Scorpions 5.6.36

Casey 36 Collingwood 33.

Dawes not playing BTW. With Grimes and Gawn here, that makes Matt Jones the emergency.

Bob, forward entry is poor because the forwards aren't presenting.

Siren sounds with Casey leading 3.5.23 to 2.1.13
