it appears our ruck man at casey are the same as in mfc games ,win the tap but to their mids ,do our mids call for the ball so the ruck knows where they are

King is having some real issues with judging the ball in the breeze.

All Sandy in the second and the lead is just 3 points - 17 to 20.

It took a little over 10 minutes but the Zebs have hit the front by 4 points thanks to their domination at the stoppages.

31-20. 4.5-0.0 in less than 1/2 a quarter

Was always gonna happen, it was a pathetic first term by Casey with a strong breeze

Casey has made it a habit this year to drop off the pace in one quarter. This is looking the same.

Scorps get a timely goal through Rennie but trail by 2 goals.

Half time: Sandringham 5.9.39 to Casey 4.2.26

Goals Kennedy-Harris 2 Rennie Smith

Just the one goal for the whole match kicked to the grandstand end such is the wind. Need to have a big quarter here.

The Toumps disposal is horrific

Goals hard to come by in these conditions

First goal of the quarter to Sandy - making it hard for Casey now.

Max King gets his first but the difference is still 3 goals.

Sandy lead out to 21 points.

Three quarter time Sandringham 8.13.61 well on top of the Casey Scorpions 5.8.38.

Goals Kennedy-Harris 2 King Rennie Smith

It's all Sandy as they kick away to a 38 point lead.

We know how the 'script goes from here on.

Final siren and Sandringham run out comfortable winners by 51 points

The Scorpions managed a single goal in the second half.

Sure did

Jamar looked good in q1 but then in q2 scorps smashed in middle

He looked outbodied by his opponent

First scorps game for me for the year

Stocks looked thin

Toumpas not clean hands

Kent - good attack on ball but no tank

King limited ruck option too light but can kick

Jhk good crumbing and clean finish

WHITE IN BEST YET AGAIN ,FFS ROOSY GIVE THE BOY A GO NEXT WEEK??!

Hmm, no. He's nowhere near afl standard yet. The only reason he and Terlich got in the best is because the ball stayed down there for most of the match. Their disposal and decision making was ordinary.

No-one really put their hand up today which is not surprising given it was probably the weakest side we've fielded all year. No chop out for Jamar in the ruck, no fitzy down back, no Casey captain to marshal the defence and horrible conditions.

Jkh tackled well but had limited impact after the first quarter in what was a role spilt roughly 50-50 to my eye between midfield and forward.

Kent showed glimpses of that blistering speed and booming left leg, clearly his best game at vfl senor level but again like so many of his afl games he flashed in and out of the play for long periods.

King had a tough day, weather wasn't conducive to big markers, he continually found himself outnumbered in pack situations as Smith and Muir failed to draw their opponents away from the area ri give him a 1 on 1. Copped an almighty spray from Brendan Mccartney at the last huddle.

Jamar won plenty of hitouts but after a while the zebras players figured it it was easier to rove of him, we got smashed in all the stoppages in the middle. His impact around the ground was minimal, again conditions mean he gets some leeway.

Toumpas was fairly anonymous, fumbled and waited for the ball to bounce to him on several occasions, a day to forget.

Bail continually set up his teammates to be tackled or spoiled with his hospital posessions, probably had the toughest match up against Clint Jones.
