A preview of the game on the VFL site - Bombers v Scorpions preview

Worth going down to Windy Hill for nostalgic reasons and also to catch a look at the premises opposite the road from the ground which form the basis of so much of what's in the news in the sport of late.

& Jack, give a wave to the old bowlers who maneuvered the "Flying High team", out to a new hangar.

Not sure if this has been covered, but, is there a reason as to why Barry is missing from the squad?

Hanging out with Dayle Garlett?

[KC from Casey 7,157]

Casey Scorps boot the first two goals to lead 2.1.13 to 0.4.4.

[Benson 254]

Will be interesting to see how Hogan & Daniher compare at the final siren.

[KC from Casey 7,157]

Casey leads by 10 points in a tough fought game: 3.2.20 to 1.4.10. Elusive young Casey small man Nathan Page has two goals.

[KC from Casey 7,157]

Another goal to Casey.

[Jonesy!!! 27]

Casey lead 4.2.26 vs Ess 2.4.16

Hogan couple nice plays, good pickup and hands in one motion, impressive from a hulk

Wind would be favouring Ess, mostly across the ground but defiantly more that way

Daniher is a giant, skinny but a giant,

26 vs 22 as daniher kicks a long goal

Qtr time Casey 4.2.26 to EFC 3.4.22

Best players Strauss, Hogan, Spencer and Page.

Hogan 5 kicks 2 handballs 3 marks

Narrow quarter time lead to the Scorps - 4 points in an entertaining game.

Honours about even after the Scorps kicked the first three goals of the match. Bombers are brim full of Essendon listed players and playing with a lot of pep!

Great - I have been waiting for Strauss to start dominating VFL. He had a good game last week and if he has a good game today I think that will put him in the mix for next week. Although I would like him to show good form in VFL next week as well (3 weeks in a row) before giving him a shot in AFL. I think consistency will have a big impact on his confidence.

There is always a place for a player with a good kick in our team.

[Jonesy!!! 27]

Quick goals to Tynan and rodan open up a 17 point lead

[Benson 254]

How is Super Kent travelling so far?

[KC from Casey 7,157]

Casey 7.4.46 to Essendon 3.4.22

[Jonesy!!! 27]

Dominating this game, wind clearly an advantage

Taggert with a goal over his head.. 53-22

[KC from Casey 7,157]

Scorps now 8.5.53 to 4.5.29

[KC from Casey 7,157]

Casey Scorpions holding on to their lead. The Bombers peppered the goals, but the Scorps scored against the run of play to go 9.6.60 to 4.8.32.

Half time Casey 11.6.72 EFC 6.8.44

Rodan,Couch and Taggert prominent. McKenzie lots of ball but poor disposal.

Kent I believe has not touched it in the first half.

[KC from Casey 7,157]

Late fightback by the Bombers but Casey had all the answers and lead by near on five goals at the main break. Some nice co-operation between Jack Fitzpatrick and Jake Best of the Scorps produced goals for both players.

Half time: Casey Scorpions 11.6.72 to Essendon 6.8.44

Looks like Neelds game plan works, and more importantly the players understand it.

Thanks for the first half update guys.

Half time Casey 11.6.72 EFC 6.8.44

Rodan,Couch and Taggert prominent. McKenzie lots of ball but poor disposal.

Kent I believe has not touched it in the first half.

He's clearly bought in to the defensive crticism then but to the detriment of his natural game.

[DemonDave 1,099]

spencer and fitz have been dominant in the ruck, and around the ground their 1 percent and pressure acts have been superb. Spencer easily bog at half time for mine I

taggert has done some very nice things is a very good size now.

blease,rodan both been busy.

hogan has taken some nice grabs on long leads. daniher shaded him so far, reminds me of Paul salmon.
