KC from Casey

Now Hulett gets his second and the lead is 25 points. They've amlost doubled last week's score already.

Harmsey has another. Lead is 18 points.

Score now 3.6.24 to 2.0.12 Garlett kicked Casey's second after a string of misses, then North Ballarat replied twice. Harmes has just kicked a goal.

Thanks, Hulett kicks the first and Casey Scorpions lead 1.3.9 to North Ballarat 0.0.0

Max King is a big man and they take time to develop. His problem is that he is playing second fiddle to Jake Spencer as a ruckman at Casey and Jake is probably one of the dominant ruckmen regularly getting a game in the VFL and he can't get a look in at AFL level because of Max Gawn's outstanding play at Melbourne over the past 12 months (I would have played Spencer against the Swans this week to take advantage of their ruck weakness without Tippet). The club was also trying to make a key forward position player out of him but he also has opposition in that area at Casey with Tim Smith, Liam Hulett and Sam Weideman fighting for KFP places. His form this year hasn't been all that great (the conditions at Casey and the fact that they've played a few times under lights haven't helped the big man) and I think he needs a big second half of the season to assure himself of a place on the list next year.

I won't be able to make it to Ballarat today. If there are any Demon fans living out that way who are going, your input would be appreciated. I will try to relay scores as I get them. Hopefully, the Casey Twitter people will be on the job to provide regular updates.

Enough already ... siren and thankfully it's over.

And just to put the icing on the cake Dean Terlich gets reported.

I would say that Ben Newton and Jake Spencer (for his ruck work) are the only Demons who earned their pay today.

Reply by the Pies and then another to Cloke. Casey look completely demoralised - it's a bit out of character for the way the team's played this year.

At last - a goal to Tim Smith. Too little, too late ...

And another to the Pies. They've kicked more goals in 2 minutes than Casey has all day.

Collingwood goes forward and goals.

Three quarter time: Collingwood VFL 4.8.32 to Casey Scorpions 1.5.11 Goal Newton

Goal for the Pies. Casey losing touch and starting to look like a bit of a rabble.

Casey just doesn't have anyone up there who even looks capable of kicking a goal.

Newton's shot is touched.

A couple of points to the Pies but Scorps go inside 50 briefly for the first time in the the third quarter well after 10 minutes.

HT: Collingwood VFL 3.2.20 to Casey Scorpions 1.2.8 Goal Newton Disposals M Jones 21 Neal-Bullen 14, Grimes Michie Newton 11

Too much fumbling and too much indecision from Casey.

He has now - a point.

First score of the quarter after 12 minutes - a goal to T Cloke.

The rain comes down and it's a real slog.

Not really - it's more across the ground if anything.
