KC from Casey

Paul Amy in the Leader Newspapers: The Casey Scorpions are looking formidable on the eve of the VFL finals "IT’S been a season of highs for the Casey Scorpions. And now more. In thrashing Werribee by 105 points on Saturday, the Scorpions had a season-high 46 scoring shots and a record 80 inside fifties."

Late goals to debutants Aloysio Ferreira and the Time Lord, Tom Baker (x2) see Casey stream home by 105 points! Baker replaced Tim Smith, a late injury withdrawal before the match.

Goal to Christian Salem (set up by JKH) - he now has two. The lead 92 points and it could have been so much more had they kicked straight.

Three Quarter time and the Scorps are well on top.

The time lord Tom Baker, playing his first game, just kicked a goal to make the lead 63 points.

JKH, the man of the moment, goaled a few minutes ago but the wastefulness in attack continues. Lead now up to 57 points.

Casey leads 12.18.90 to 6.4.40 as scoring seems to have dried up for the moment.

Now Neal-Bullen has 2 and the lead is out to 50 points.

Dawes' third for the days sees Casey ahead by 43 points.

Doubt it. The club has embarked on a youth policy and have been fairly consistent on this throughout the year. I can see ANB or Salem as the next cabs off the rank but after yesterday, I think it might be no change for next Sunday.

Half time and it's Casey by 37 points Casey Scorpions 5.8.38 9.16.70 Werribee Tigers 4.1.25 5.4.34 Goals Dawes 2 Grimes Kennedy Munro Neal-Bullen Salem Trengove White Disposals Michie Neal-Bullen 20 Trengove 18 Morris 17

Werribee score their first goal for the term - it's to 9.13.67 to 5.3.33

The lead is now 39 points and Casey seem to have broken the back of the Tigers' resistance.

Spencer having a big impact in the ruck. He could be an All Victorian this year if they have one.? Casey lead 53 - 27.

Dawes snaps his second - the lead is 2 goals.

Jack Grimes goals to put Casey in front 3.7.25 to 3.1.19

Werribee have a lot at stake and have come out to play. They lead by 1 point, 2.1.13 to 2.0.12.

Massive win to the Development League team against weak opposition.

There's an interesting little competition at the top of the VFL ladder with Casey, Williamstown and Collingwood all on 12 wins. The top two placegetters before the finals get home ground advantage in the first week of the finals. That means that every game left is important for the three contenders.

Just stepped out for a second and am pleased with the 70 point lead against a finals contender. Looking good.

Keep those scores coming in folks. I'm off line soon.
