KC from Casey

It isn't called Windy Hill for nothing.

"managed" is the current buzzword

And that's it - a 44 point comprehensive victory to the Seagulls away from home. Casey Scorpions 4.1.24 6.2.38 10.2.62 11.4.70 Williamstown 5.2.32 10.4.64 14.10.94 17.12.114 Goals Casey Scorpions Hulett 4 Max King Trengove Weideman 2, Grimes Williamstown Siposs 4 Anastasio Conway Cordy Dunnell Masters 2 Hetherington Meese Sing Best Casey Scorpions Trengove Michie Petracca Hulett Max King Munro Williamstown Wheeler Sullivan Masters Siposs Currie Hetherington Disposals Trengove 30 Michie 28 Petracca 26 Munro 22

Sam Weideman takes a nice mark and slots it through for his second but the game is well and truly over. Margin is 44 points. All of this talk about Trengove's supposed lack of pace is a load of hogwash. He was slow two years ago when hobbled by his foot injury but he has definitely picked up in the area even though you still wouldn't call him quick. However, he's aerobically very strong and that is where he can press home his advantage.

Trailing by 45 points now. This will make a big dent in the team's percentage.

Actually his 3rd.

The lead is 32 points at 3/4 time. The hard nosed Seagulls in control. Casey Scorpions 10.2.62 to Williamstown 14.10.94 Goals Hulett 4 King Trengove 2 Grimes Weideman Disposals Trengove 25 Petracca 23 Michie 22

Try as they might, the Scorpions just can't make up that leeway. Williamstown's lead now 27 points after the Scorps got to within 14.

Casey trailing by 26 points at half time. This is real VFL opposition and they'll have to dig deep to get out of this one. Casey Scorpions 6.2.38 to Williamstown 10.4.64 Goals Hulett 3 Max King Trengove Weideman Disposals Trengove 18 Petracca Michie 16 Things are going pretty much as WJ suggested before the game.

At quarter time Williamstown hold a 7 point break but are playing better and the Scorpions did well to stay with them. Williamstown 5.2.32 to Casey Scorpions 4.1.25 Goals Hulett 2 Max King Trengove Disposals Trengove 11 Newton 8 Grimes 7

Hulett!!!

Willi's Development League team runaway winners by 35 points at Casey. Casey Scorpions 3.3.21 5.4.34 9.7.61 10.9.69 Williamstown 3.1.19 9.5.59 12.6.78 16.8.104 Goals Casey Scorpions Wyatt 2 Anderson Briggs Cox Gains Hannon Johnston Machaya Morris Williamstown Di Ciero 3 Carr Owen Shultz 2 Bugeja Condon Di Donato Eales Ebinger Johnstone Minogue Best Casey Scorpions Wyatt Machaya Morris Briggs Gains D Collis Williamstown Shultz Carr Owen Minogue Bugeja Buykx-Smith

After allowing Willi to sneak away to a 36 point lead early in the quarter, Casey fought back but trail by 17 points at the final break - 9.7.61 to 12.6.78.

Ha ha

The lights are on and the young Scorpions are struggling to make up the leeway. I hope that plenty of Demon fans make it down tonight and provide comments. Apart from anything else, I need to conserve my battery power.

Half Time: Williamstown 9.5.59 to Casey 5.4.34 Scorps outplayed and lacked a bit of discipline giving away some costly frees in front of the opposition goal plus a 50m penalty.

Sensational news in another game down by the bay. Frankston seniors who Casey thumped by 24 goals just two weeks ago have gotten up to beat the Richmond Tigers. Their first win since July 2014.

Agreed. Underestimate Williamstown at your own peril. Meantime, the Development League game is under way and it's a close contest as it was when they last met here in the practice match. Casey lead 3.3.21 to 3.1.19 at QT but Willi has the advantage of the breeze coming up. Ed Morris is playing a great game and is clearly in contention for a senior berth in his comeback from injury.

The Casey Scorpions will be looking to knock of the VFL's big fish of 2015 - the premiers Williamstown - this Saturday evening at Casey Fields. The Scorpions are on top of the ladder undefeated while the Seagulls are 1 -1 having lost last week to the Box Hill Hawks. With a couple of players coming back into the side, Casey should have a strong team to take them on and retain top spot..

Try these (MFC listed players who took part):- 49 Sam Weideman 50 Colin Garland 53 Max King 54 Jack Trengove 55 Liam Hulett 58 Mitch White 62 Dean Terlich 63 Viv Michie 70 Ben Newton 72 Alex Neal-Bullen 74 Oscar McDonald 78 Christian Petracca 79 Joel Smith 80 Jack Grimes

That's it and the Casey Scorpions are now the final quarter destruction specialists.
