    The wind which was an absolute gale in the Ressies and strong in the first quarter of this game has moderated. Port Melbourne is playing with confidence, has taken over in the midfield and is scoring at will. Casey now down by 28 points.

    Seems that Port have put their foot down. Need a few boys to stand up, if they dont get a cpl of goals back by half time game will be shot.

    Brendan Fevola seems to be the only danger player in the Casey attack. He gets his third to end Port's run of goals and put the Scorps within 20 points.

    that and get players to the contest..back your team mates up, provide pressure or options.. FFS Its not really rocket surgery is it. Its not like they have to turn up and invent the game on the day...Mind boggling stuff.

    Both teams at times look like theyre not that bothered..only dif is Port have the ball.

    truly embarassing now

    How is Valenti going?

    Valenti would be among the best three players on the ground.

    Fevola kicks his fifth but the game's well and truly over.

    Casey Scorpions 8.8.56

    Port Melbourne 20.12.132.

    Fevola kicks a long goal to record his sixth but Port has the game well in its grip.

    Since early in the second quarter Fev is Casey's only goalscorer.

    Once again at finals time due to injuries we have left Casey weakened.

    They wouldn't be half as dirty as Box Hill.

    I wouldn't write off Casey from the finals race as long as Melbourne plays ball with its players as a number who missed today and are playing with the Demons tomorrow are eligible to play in next week's semi final against Werribbee.

    I agree.

    I was at the game and it was obvious that Casey was short of class whilst Port was probably playing close to its best list.

    Add Maric, Nicholson, Bate, Fitzpatrick, McDonald and others who I may have forgotten and you'll have a fairer contest.

    BTW Gawn was outstanding and totally dominated the centre contests, but was alone in there. His work around the ground, and even on the ground in totally inappropriate conditions for someone of his height was so impressive.

    He's come a long way and will be going further!

    I was not at the game but from the telecast Gawn was a cut above and will start to become a serious force next year. Will be interesting how they balance his development with Jamar and Martin.

    Casey appeared to have a alot of same pace players and getting some class and speed back into the side next week will do them the world of good.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
