KC from Casey

Great goal by Frankston's Lloyd brings it back to 2 points at 28 minutes.

Casey leads by 8 points through a goal from Fowler but its been Nev Jetta who has kept the defence together.

A goal off the ground by Davey puts the Scorps back in front by 5 points.

Spencer is just going in the ruck, doing no more than breaking even. Fitzpatrick is alternating between ruck and forward but only has one goal. This is about their standard. Meanwhile, a miskick from Davis gifts the lead to Frankston whose pressure is fantastic.

The difference is now 5 points after Frankston record the first goal of the final term at the 6 minute mark.

Three quarter time: Casey Scorpions 9.12.66 lead Frankston 8.7.55. There's not much to enthuse about for Demon fans. With a dozen AFL listed players on the field you would expect the home side to dominate but the reality is they're being shown up in many departments. I can only see Aaron Davey and Nev Jetta in contention for the opening game in a fortnight's time. Most of the rest either won't ever make or or are a long way off.

Frankston answer and its back to an 11 point game.

A goal against the run of play by Casey's Cranbourne recruit Michael Boland stems the tide.

Casey's lead is now down to 10 points with another Dolphin goal. The Casey defenders are being caught flat footed and the team is in danger of allowing the game to slip out of its grasp.

With the rain getting heavier, we saw some great attack on the footy from Frankston which is the way to go in these conditions. The Dolphins are playing it hard and it's paying dividends as they fight back and kick two goals. Casey Scorpions 8.10.58 to Frankston 6.5.41.

First goal of the second half to Casey's Tim Smith and then Aaron Davey marks and kicks truly. The margin goes out to 28 points and the Scorpions are in control.

Half time Casey Scorpions 6.8.44 to Frankston 4.5.29 It's a very lacklustre game. Seen in the crowd, Todd Viney, former skipper and Demon great, now better known as the father of and a landlord to a few promising young Demons .

Goal to Casey - they lead by 15 points.

Rain coming down now. Goals to Fitzpatrick and Gent were answered by one from Frankston. Scorps lead by 14 points.

The Flash is too classy for this company. Scores his team's third goal just before quarter time. It's starting to drizzle a bit during the first break with the Casey Scorpions leading 3.4.22 to Frankston 2.2.14. The change in conditions is likely to have a bit of an impact on the game.

A goal to Brayden Fowler gives the Scorps a 1 point lead - 2.2.14 to 2.1.13.

No, definitely not him. It could be Clisby because I can't see anyone wearing # 70 and the player wearing # 76 and seems to fit the description I have of him i.e he's medium height and blond. Meanwhile, although Casey has been doing most of the attacking, the Dolphins are showing more purpose and have kicked the last two goals in quick time to lead by 5 points.

Perfect conditions to start the game. No wind! Mark to big Jake and a goal from in close.

The Casey Scorpions Team Sheet is up on the OP. I count a dozen Demons and there's one player out there who I can't recognise wearing 76.

A bit of a bombshell for some - Aaron Davey playing for the Scorpions today. I can see Jake Spencer, Nev Jetta and Michael Evans out there too. Will get a team sheet shortly.

Casey Scorpions reserves record a win 13.12.90 to 9.7.61. The Dolphins led at the half but the Scorps produced a barnstorming finish to run out easy winners.

I'm working hard this morning to make up enough time to enable me to get out to Casey Fields for today's practice games.

I made the point elsewhere that although the focus this week is on Southport where the Demons take on the Gold Coast Suns, if you've developed a fondness for Casey Fields after last Saturday's NAB Cup game against the Saints, why not come back again this week for the Scorpions' first practice match v Frankston? The neighbouring Dolphins have recruited well, it promises to be a big day at Cranbourne East and the parking won't be anywhere near as bad as last week. I can't promise which of the Demons will be on show this week as the MFC will probably take up a decent squad and rest a few as well. SATURDAY MARCH 16 Casey Scorpions vs Frankston at Casey Fields DL 11am VFL 2pm However, it looks likely that some big guns will be on hand at the same venue following week (March 23) when the Scorps take on VFL heavyweights Port Melbourne and they could have a couple of handy inclusions in Mitch Clark and Jack Trengove. Demons look to VFL. Casey will round off its practice match series at home against Box Hill Hawks on 30 March.
