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.

Half Time: Casey 9.7.61 lead Collingwood 4.4.28 Casey Scorpions goal kickers Cook 4 Martin 3 Couch McGough

... and gets it!

Stef Martin kicks a goal and Casey who are building a handy lead as Cook lines up for his fourth ...

Cook gets a free 30m out for a push in the back and scores his third. Casey Scorpions 7.5.47 Collingwood 3.4.22.

Quarter Time Casey held a lead of 6 points - 4.4.28 to 3.3.21 - and have added a further two goals early in the second term. Cook has just booted his second.

Goals to Couch and another from a snap to Cook and the Scorps lead goes out to 13 points - 4.3.27 to 2.2.14.

A goal to Stef Martin steadies the Scorpions after the Magpies kicked the opening two goals of the game. Casey Scorpions 1.2.8 trail Collingwood 2.0.12.

First goal within a minute to Collingwood who got the ball out of the middle and straight into attack.

He did play and he looked ok coming off the ground. The development team are just warning down in the gym and he's among them so I'd say he got through fine.

The Casey Development League team had a poor second half after leading by 5 points at the main break and lost to the Coburg Tigers by 20 points. 2012 AFL Vic Development League Casey Scorpions 2.4.16 5.6.36 5.10.40 6.11.47 Coburg Tigers 3.0.18 5.1.31 7.5.47 10.7.67 Goals Casey Scorpions Galvin Williams 2 Clay Johnson Coburg Tigers Hore 4 Jordan Murphy 2 Robertella Turner Best Casey Scorpions Troutman Rosier Williams Cleven Page Clay Coburg Tigers Venditti Bamblett Duhau Robertella Hore Price Aaron Davey is running out with the senior team for the warm up.

No way can you say that Cam's having a life in obscurity. You can tune in to ABC1 at 1pm today and see him on national television playing in the centre for the Box Hill Hawks. Cam's follicly challenged these days so his next step will be a starring role in an Ashley & Martin commercial. Anyway, I'm sure he's in a good place.
