Casey Scorpions
Now that we are no longer affiliated with the scorpions, are many of you going to continue following them or is everyone jumping straight on board the zebras?

You can than Andy Goodwin for Frankston's GF ;oss t Sandy in 1997....he went nuts...gave away 50 metre penalties then tried taking on Paul Dear....his must go down as one of the worst ill disciplined performances in a Grand Final of all time...thanks Andy....11 years later and it's still a sweet memoryFortiusQuoFidelius wrote:I hated them because they were born out of the Springvale Scorpions who I have never forgiven after knocking off Frankston in the 1996 GF. Mind you I hate Sandy just as much after doing a job on us in the following year's GF.

Think it's only natural that some St Kilda supporters will still feel an attachment to the Casey Scorps...no doubt some will be downright annoyed that St Kilda are no longer affiliated with casey....and I'm sure there will be some Melbourne supporters who would still prefer to be with Sandy rather than casey...
Melbourne decided that Casey fields was where their future lies and subsequently wouldn't extend their afiiliation with Sandy...
History will now show that St Kilda and Sandy are now affiliated as are Melbourne/Casey Scorpions...
This week should be one very interesting match...there will be a few players lining up for Casey who played for Sandy last year and vice versa...
There will be senior players from both sides there on sunday...no doubt the St Kilda players who have a chat with the Melbourne players will hear how great casey Fields is, although strangely enough, a couple of weeks ago when Sandy had a practice match at TBO, several Melbourne players were there as well....even though Casey had a practice match at Casey Fields at the same time...some food for thought there!!

I'm a St Kilda supporter.
That means I support St Kilda players whether they are playing in the AFL or VFL or kindergarten backyard leftovers league.
When St Kilda players played for Casey, I supported Casey, now they play for Sandringham, I support Sandringham.
When they play for Manchester United I will support Manchester United.
That is what a St Kilda supporter does.

You can try and re-write history, and I'm sure there'll be many who believe you.zebraman wrote: Melbourne decided that Casey fields was where their future lies and subsequently wouldn't extend their afiiliation with Sandy...
But you know quite well that Sandy initiated the severing of the St KFC/Scorpions alignment by approaching St Kilda with a proposal for a St KFC/Sandy alignment.
You also know that Sandy did that because CC was hot-gospelling a move to Casey Fields long before it was ever a reality and would have also put the wind up the Zebs by talking up an alignment with the Scorpions (and long before the Scorpions were prepared to discuss an alignment with MFC) and Sandy panicked.
As reported in June last year ( http://blogs.abc.net.au/grandstand/2008 ... m-spl.html ):
The response of the Scorpions to the announcement was shock ( http://cranbourne.yourguide.com.au/news ... 90011.aspx ):ABC Grandstand wrote:
Sandringham and Melbourne have ended their 8-year alignment with the two clubs due to part ways at the end of the 2008 season.
The split comes as the Zebras and St Kilda announced a new five-year alignment, Sandringham general manager John Mennie telling Leader Newspapers the club was concerned it would be left without an AFL affiliate once Melbourne’s impending move to Casey Fields takes place.
"We were worried we were going to miss the boat," Mennie said.
"We couldn’t sit and wait around. We had to be proactive."
You have both clubs making it clear what happened - why do you try to spin it differently?Cranbourne Journal wrote:
CASEY Scorpions president John Sharkie says St Kilda's decision to end their alignment was done "behind our backs.''
Sharkie revealed he was told about 45 minutes before news had appeared on St Kilda and Sandringham websites that St Kilda had ended its relationship with Casey and had realigned with rival VFL club Sandringham, formerly aligned with Melbourne.
The Scorpions' president said it a "major shock'' and he was disappointed in the way it was handled.
"I was disappointed in not knowing all this was going behind our backs.''
Not sure about that. I am a Saints supporter but could never support Casey as I am a Sandy supporter. I went to Casey games to watch only the Saints players. Didnt give a stuff about Casey. Now I am right. Thays what a Sandy supporter does.ace wrote:I'm a St Kilda supporter.
