"When finally admitted to the VFA in 1982 the competition was significantly weaker than it had been two decades earlier, and the Vales took a mere twelve months to find their feet, downing Brunswick 17.9 (111) to 13.16 (94) in a fiery second division grand final in 1983 before rapidly consolidating at the top level...."
John Devaney looks back at the history of the Casey Scorpions, better known as Springvale.
