The game today at the Trevor Barker Beach Oval is memory lane time and I have to say that most of those memories are good. 

When the Demons were partnered with the Zebras, the alignment won four VFL premierships and they were also regular AFL finalists. Was it coincidence that the bottom started falling out of our club in the latter years of the partnership and went really bust after we were established at Casey? I always felt that the MFC embraced the locals well at Sandy and while it's working hard in the Casey/Cardinia corridor, it doesn't seem the same for those of us who venture out from what is relatively inner suburbia to cold and windy East Cranbourne.

For those who are heading down there today, here is the team that was announced on Thursday night with numbers but note that the four MFC interchange players for Sunday's game v the Doggies have been taken out and one of the emergencies for that match will also be held back (my guess is Oscar). 

Casey Scorpions

C 80 J Grimes 54 J Trengove 78 C Petracca

Under way in the DL and Vander Haar gets the first goal for Casey.

Sandy 2.5.17 to Casey 1.0.6 at Quarter Time

Goal Vander Haar

The wind is going to be a factor today.

Why is Michie still being named in the Casey team when he is named in the 22 playing AFL tomorrow?

Scorpions dominated the second quarter to lead by 10 points at half time.

Casey Scorpions 4.4.28 to Sandringham 2.6.18

Goals Vander Haar 2 Baker Gordon

Michie and all players named on the interchange bench for Melbourne on Thursday night were also named in the Casey team but withdrawn when the final MFC team was announced yesterday evening.

Crowd is smallish but will grow as the senior game nears.

Meanwhile in the DL the Zebs kicked the first four of the second half and lead by 15 points after Vander Haar kicks his third.

sounds like a wind game?

Very much so.

Sandy kicked seven goals in that quarter to go to a 20 Point lead 9.9.63 to 6.7.42.

Unfortunately, the Zebs are the ones scoring the goals. They lead by 5 goals.

8 goals down and not as windy as  it is made out. 

On in better news in sitting next to Jack Watts and Bernie Vince. Jack is lovely saying g'day proactively. Does not know me from a bar of soap.

Autocorrect terrible. Meant to say on better news I'm sitting......

It didn't turn out as we hoped at 3qtime. Zebras overran Casey in the end to win by 48 points.

Casey Scorpions 1.0.6 3.4.22 5.7.37 7.12.54

Sandringham 2.5.17 2.6.18 7.8.50 15.12.102

Goals

Casey Scorpions Vander Haar 3 Baker Cotte Gordon Hannon

Sandringham Ong 3 Cameron Cameron Payne Wilkins 2 Coates Fisscher Fox Lloyd

No Frost in the warm up?

The VFL action moves across to picturesque Trevor Barker Beach Oval on Saturday afternoon where the Demons were once the AFL affiliate of the Zebras before the swap took place with the Saints and club ended up with Casey.

The teams are evenly matched and it promises to be an interesting spectacle with plenty of AFL listed players taking part.

Any radio coverage?

Frost is there 

Not the best start by the scorps. 2 goals down. ANB and White impressive in the first 5 mins

so who does that leave as the emergency for sunday?

Why did Casey radio stop broadcasting Scorps games? They did last week so maybe they're limited to Sunday games only, don't know. Is it because of the channel 7 contract? You know the one where they have the rights to games that they don't broadcast.

Can't find any radio coverage today; thanks for your reports guys.

Grimes i think 

All Sandy so far - they have 4 goals.

I can confirm that Jack Grimes is being held over as the emergency for tomorrow.

A Dawes turnover in the middle of the ground and a goal to the Zebras

5-1-31 to 0

A free to Hulett right in front of goals and the scorps kick their first
