KC from Casey

Gysberts gets Casey's first goal after 22 minutes. The Scorps in trouble because they seem to have the advantage of what is a swirly breeze.

Casey really struggling - four out of bounds on the full and two goals down - 0.3.3 to 2.3.15.

Scorps sloppy early in the game and trail 0.2.2 to 1.2.8 after 10 minutes.

Half time in the early game at Trevor Barker Beach Oval and the Casey Scorpions Development League team is trailling by seven points in a low scoring game after having the better of things in the first quarter.

I think I can speak for all at Demonland in wishing James Strauss all the best on his return to senior footy tomorrow at TBBO. Melbourne youngster James Strauss to play for Casey in VFL Preview here

The following Casey fixtures apply over the coming fortnight:- Saturday 16 June 2012 - Development League v Box Hill at Box Hill City Oval - 11:00am According to this article - VFL beckons this weekend for some Dees we should see a few Demons in action. Luke Hodge is apparently an outside chance to line up with Box Hill. Saturday 23 June 2012 - Seniors v Sandringham at TBBO - 1:00pm Development League v Sandringham at TBBO - 10:10am In other news co-captain Kyle Matthews who injured his shoulder in round 1 is due back in about 4 weeks. We wish the poor bloke lots of (good) luck from hereon in because he sure has had a wretched run with injuries over the past 2½ years.

Thanks Big Kev. I'm indebted to you. There were a couple of player numbers missing from yesterday's record. I just didn't take much time trying to notice the Collingwood players in their insipid white and black striped alternate guernsey. They would have been much better off in black and white stripes. No. 54 went well as far as I could see but other than the obvious they all looked the same and nobody stood out. My main gripe yesterday was the with the grandstand side scoreboard. Hasn't worked properly since late 2010. Could someone please look into fixing it?

I was impressed with Sundberg last year and thought he was a real chance to get drafted. In fact, I was a bit surprised that we drafted Couch ahead of him as I thought he had a bit more point of difference to many of Melbourne's midfielders. I didn't notice him that much in yesterday's game so I can't really comment on him that.

Yes. They finally do get home after an unusual finish. Tim Smith who had been lively all day up forward and kicked two goals, marked on the siren no more that 15 metres out. Instead of going back for the kick and a certain third goal, he played on and kicked truly but of course it was no score because the game was over the second he played on. D'oh! Scorps win by 13 points. Casey Scorpions 4.3.27 9.7.61 11.9.75 13.12.90 Collingwood 3.3.21 4.4.28 8.8.56 11.11.77 Goals Casey Scorpions Cook Martin 4 Smith 2 Couch McGough Tynan Collingwood Boland 3 Farmer Ferraro Hahn Mooney Paine Seedsman Witts Wood Best Casey Scorpions Martin Riseley Spencer Fieldsend Cook Couch Collingwood Sundberg Hine Hellier Farmer Yagmoor Seedsman Final stats winners Couch 27 (10 hard ball gets & 8 tackles) L Tynan 26 Panozza (& 7 tackles) Fieldsend 20 Martin 19 (& 18 hit outs) My best player by a country mile - Luke Tynan - just ahead of brother Josh and Tom Couch. Special mention to Aaron Davey for a brilliant second quarter. He was too brilliant for this company.

Josh Tynan goals and stretches the lead back to 13 points at the 16 minute mark.

Back to 7 points after a Collingwood goal.

Tim Smith gets one - back to 13 points.

Collingwood get the first two goals of the quarter and there's only seven points in it. The way they're going, an upset is definitely on the cards.

Goal on the siren after a strong mark by Tim Smith restores the lead to 19 points and breaks a run of four on the trot from the Pies. Casey lead 11.9.75 to Collingwood 8.8.56. Stats L.Tynan 19 Couch 18 Fieldsend 16 Davey 15 Martin 14 Gysberts 13 Goals Cook Martin 4 Couch McGough Smith Davey has been taken off to enable him to remain eligible for Monday's game if required as an emergency.

Pies coming back with a couple of goals - lead down to 19 points at the 24 minute mark. After a very good first half Aaron Davey is off the ground and the Casey bench is one man short.

Cameron Wood replies for the Pies.

Goal to Martin - Casey lead by 6 goals.
