KC from Casey

Final siren and the Scorps are in danger of dropping out of the top four unless they pull their socks up.

Geelong 18.10.118 to Casey 8.11.59. Into time on.

Skies are black literally here at Casey Field. Lights on at the ground and off for the Scorps who are down by 10 goals.

Three Quarter Time: Geelong 16.8.104 to Casey 7.8.50. Goalkickers Best Hogan 2 Jetta Nicholson Page Last four goals of the quarter just when Casey was getting back into the game. Cats are pretty well dominant everywhere and the Scorps resistance was blunted by the blitz in the last 10 minutes.

Cats answer with a couple and its back to 41 points.

Raining goals here. Best gets his second and its a 29 point deficit. The goalkickers to date are Best Hogan 2 Jetta Nicholson Page.

Finally, some life as Casey gets two quick goals to Jetta & Best to get back to 35 points down.

Scorps can't raise a gallop as Cats get the first two goals of the third term. This is going to hurt.

It's more a case of Geelong having a very strong side out there.

It just gets worse. Half time: Geelong 10.3.63 to Casey 4.4.28. Complete domination by the Cats.

Geelong running away with it - 9.1.55 to Casey 4.4.28

Cats by 14 points.

Huge win for Casey Development League team to make it 2 in a row against the Zebras. 2013 AFL Victoria Development League Casey Scorpions 4.6.30 4.6.30 13.9.87 18.12.120 Sandringham 0.1.1 1.4.10 1.5.11 4.6.30 Goals Casey Scorpions Smith 4 Fowler Troutman 2 Clay Dearaugo Sandringham Howes 2 Maley Pridgeon Best Casey Scorpions Waters Nicholson Smith Clay P Rosier Hill Sandringham Banfield Valles Coates McKay Minahan Maitland A good win which strengthens the team's finals prospects but the Zebs were apparently light on for numbers.

It would be worthwhile for those who want to consider next week's team, it's worth noting the best players at Casey today. Obviously, Jesse Hogan's not eligible and nor is Casey skipper Evan Panozza but the other four mentioned in the panel above are worth giving a try. One other who might be a chance is Josh Tynan who's improved during the season and who has a dip.

Game over and the Scorpions win by 8 points. Not great but a win's a win especially when the opposition happens to be Collingwood.

Make that 8 points.

Scorps have stopped to a walk. Lead by 14 points late in the game.

Fair to say that this game isn't hitting any great heights. Casey leads by 21 points.

The last 2 Casey goals have been kicked by first gamers - Nick Lang (his second) and 23rd player Josh Scott.

Goal for goal and its still 27 points nearly ten minutes into the last quarter.

And another to Casey. Lead now out to 28 points.
