Fun Facts:
- This is the third consecutive season where Collingwood has faced off against the VFL partners of the Melbourne Football Club, the Casey Scorpions, on the Saturday before the Queen's Birthday game in the AFL. The fixture was first introduced in 2011. Collingwood has lost both of the previous two of these 'mini-Queen's Birthday eve' clashes. The Pies have also played a previous Melbourne VFL affiliate, Sandringham, in one of these fixtures in 2008, which the Pies lost as well.

- Collingwood has not beaten Casey since round 2 of 2010. On that day, a woefully inaccurate Magpies outfit got over the line by 10 points out at Casey Fields, 13.22.100 to 13.12.90. Since that day, the Magpies have lost 4 consecutive matches to the Scorpions (2 at home, 2 away) by an average margin of just under 33 points.

I'll be going down. Might take the camera if the weather is good.

My family are going to watch our first VFL game in a very long time. As Collingwood members, how much does it cost to get in please?

We have decided to watch the VFL rather than go on Monday as there is no General Admin in the Ponsford and I hate sitting in the Southern!

Good to see Russell back from that ankle injury.

Heagney-Steart obviously over that shin injury and good to see Wallace get named in the squad as well.

Krakouer is also named, so he isn't being rested, as has been suggested.

[John Wren]

have really enjoyed the vfl this year. that is helped somewhat by having a competitive team. am really enjoying the games of lesser knowns like ferguson, moloney and hellier.

am thinking of heading out there and looking forward to a strong performance.

[eddiesmith]

Given there is no local footy this weekend might head on down to Casey, hope to see Witts and Russell dominating

[jackcass]

Never been to a game at Casey but did have to do a site visit there when we (Department of Regional Australia) put some money into some of the development there. Conditions reminded me of the good old days at Arctic Park. Freezing cold, howling gale, pissing rain. Perfect Waverly weather.
