Sandringham thrashes Casey

Sandringham remains within striking distance of the ladder leaders after overpowering the Casey Scorpions today.

The Zebras never looked serious threatened on their way to a 14.13 (97) to 5.9 (39) triumph, bringing their season tally to three wins and one draw.

The Scorpions on the other hand were disappointing in front of their home fans, kept scoreless in the opening term and showing no semblance of form until the final quarter.

By that stage, the game was effectively over, leaving coach Rohan Welsh with plenty to contemplate ahead of a big match against the Werribee Tigers next weekend.

Despite an even inside-50-count, the Zebras looked the far superior outfit thoughout.

Myke Cook led the stats sheet with 23 disposals and nine marks, ahead of Cameron Shenton and Blake Acres with 21 apiece.

Trent Dennis-Lane kicked a match-high three goals, while Sam Dunell and Mav Weller finished with two each.

For the Scorpions it was Jordie McKenzie with 27 disposals and 11 tackles that led the resistance.
