At quarter time it's Casey 5.0.30 leading Frankston 1.2.8 in perfect conditions at Casey Fields. Michael Newton kicked two goals. Aussie quiet so far.

Casey Reserves had a big win:

Casey Scorpions 5.2.32 6.8.44 7.9.51 11.11.77

Frankston 0.2.3 1.3.9 3.6.24 4.6.30

Ten minutes into the second quarter Casey leads 7.0.42 to Frankston 3.4.22.

Jordan Gysberts is picking up loads of possessions. Colin Garland is blanketing his opponent. I'll be back soon with all the MFC player numbers for those who are going to turn up later.

Melbourne players in today's Casey v Frankston practice match:

4. Austin Wonaemirri

49. Jack Fitzpatrick

68. Jordan Gysberts

70. Michael Newton

71. Rhys Healey

76. Colin Garland

Half time: Casey Scorpions 7.0.42 lead Frankston Dolphins 4.6.30

Quick goals to Stockdale and Healy give the home side a 4 goal lead.

I would say Garland's day is over. He hasn't returned since half time. I think it was planned that he only plays half a game.

On the other hand Aussie has just gone off. He went for a tackle and came down touching his right hamstring. It didn't look too serious but watch this space.

Casey 12.1.73 to Frankston 4.6.30 at the 9 minute mark. Third Term.

Say it ain't so.

Its clear this guys body is not cut out for AFL football at this level. I think we should all start to add him to our list of hard luck stories for the MFC and hope that someone like Maric will step up in his place over the next few years.

Jack Fitzpatrick goals after a pass from Stockdale.

Casey leads by 51 points.

Three Quarter Time: Casey 13.6.84 to Frankston 4.7.31

The Scorpions are in control although Frankston will have the advantage of the wind in the last quarter. Matthews and Wall doing well for the home side which looks to have picked up a handy recruit in forward Luke McDonald. Rhys Healey had a quarter and seems to have improved his disposal.

9 minutes into the last term. Casey 91-37.

Gysberts wracking up the possessions.

Juice has a kick for goal coming up from an angle. Pushed OOB.

Full Time: Casey Scorpions 16.10.106 to Frankston Dolphins 6.9.45

Great effort KC---Very much appreciated. If you could find out how Wona pulled up- I am sure we all would very much appreciate that.

Great job KC, very much appreciated by those of us who couldn't get to the game. Any news and views in due course on best players for Casey, and (if you can get it) how Wanna and the other Dees pulled up fitness-wise, would be great. Thanks again!!

Aussie's tackling in the first half was brilliant and is something we need desperately in our F50. I don't think Maric will ever be as good a tackler.

Confirmed on 9 news tonight - hammy again for Aussie.

Starting to sound like a chronic problem.

Three Quarter Time: Casey 13.6.84 to Frankston 4.7.31

Good to hear. How many did McDonald end up kicking?
