KC from Casey

Forget the wind. It's absolutely persistently pouring down here at the moment. Reminiscent of the day last year when Lynden Dunn kicked a bag against Box Hill last year. The Ressies had a big win against one of the leading teams: Casey Scorpions 0.1.1 3.2.20 5.6.36 7.11. 53 Box Hill Hawks 0.2.2 0.5.5 0.5.5 1.7.13 Goals Casey Scorpions Purves Lindsay Bell Patti Lees Clay Campbell Box Hill Hawks Johns Best Casey Scorpions Campbell Lindsay Panozza Bell Lees Baumgartner Box Hill Hawks Murphy Kennedy Purcell Van Unen Johns Phelps

It's absolutely blowing a gale in Cranny. The Scorps have been exposed to this sort of weather every time they've come out to play in the last five or six weeks!

I have now loaded HOW THE DEMONS FARED into the article.

Goal to Majak Daw after some poor Casey turnovers and the game is virtually over. A late flutter but Casey goes down by 2 goals - 13.12.90 to 15.12.102. Seven goals in the last quarter not enough as the Scorps lose touch with the top four. A very drab afternoon with the only touch of excitement a bit of a melee at the end. Casey Scorpions 1.3.9 4.7.31 6.12.48 13.12.90 Werribee Tigers 3.4.22 6.9.45 12.11.83 15.12.102 Goals Casey Scorpions Dunn 3 Bartram Fevola Gawn 2 Bate Cook McGough Mohr Werribee Tigers Castello Warren 3 Schibeci 2 Daw Harper McIntosh Mangan Mather Ross Urquhart Best Casey Scorpions Maric Davis Mohr McNamara Tapscott Gawn Werribee Tigers Tarrant Mather Tighe Tuck Ross Hartigan

A second goal to Fev gives his team the slightest of sniffs. Three goals down.

McGeough, Fevola & Gawn goal - 23 points down. After a dirty afternoon, the Fev is finally coming good. Kicks one himself and unselfishly passes to Max for another.

Precisely! The first two goals to Werribee Tigers who have now stretched their lead to 47 points.

Three Quarter Time Casey Scorpions 6.12.48 Werribee Tigers 12.11.83 Four goals in the last ten minutes to the Tigers put the game beyond Casey.

Dunn, unattended in the goal square, goals. 13 points down.

Second goal to Cook but Werribee lead by 21 points.

Half Time Casey Scorpions 4.7.31 Werribee Tigers 6.9.45 A late goal to Max Gawn after a mark in the goalsquare.. If you want me to describe the game think of Melbourne last night. Werribee are dominating the ruck through McIntosh and the clearances through a much slicker midfield. Handball and decision making generally poor. You would think some players would be attempting to get promoted but there's no purpose or sense of urgency in their play. Maric is the best of an otherwise ordinary bunch.

Werribee's pace worrying a sluggish Casey. The home side have kicked the last three to lead by 23 points.

Goals to Cook and Bate make it a 3 point game.

Quarter Time Casey Scorpions 1.3.9 Werribee Tigers 3.4.22 Reasonable quarter into the wind. Scorps missing Warnock.

Lynden Dunn marks from a Brendon Fevola pass for Casey's first goal. Trail by a point.

A Werribee player goes down and stretchered off. It's their skipper Dom Gleeson after a clash of heads with Luke Tapscott.

Scorps Ressies win by 47 points in a good win away from home. Casey Scorpions 5.2.32 8.5.53 10.8.68 18.10.118 Werribee Tigers 2.7.19 5.10.40 6.14.50 9.17.71 Goals Casey Scorpions Dowse 4 Gent Nicholls Riseley 2 Allen Baumgartner Bell Dearaugo Lindsay Petropoulos Purves Waite Werribee Tigers Allwright Perkins 2 Davis Kennedy Moloney Risol Ruggles Best Casey Scorpions Tynan Lindsay Bell Dowse Bolton Purdy Werribee Tigers Rockefeller Sullivan Ruggles Laracy Schroder Saker

You've guessed wrong. It's Hayden Hector and he'll be wearing # 69.

The Casey Scorpions have a tough assignment this week against the improving Wertibee Tigers at Avalon Airport Oval, Werribee.

Brendon Fevola kicked a bag of 10 goals in a best on ground for his local club, Narre Warren's yesterday. Fevola can go back to his local team whenever his VFL club has a bye.

In a real boilover the Casey Scorpions Reserves win against Port Melbourne at Port. Casey Scorpions 1.3.9 5.4.34 8.7.55 11.10.76 Port Melbourne 3.8.26 4.8.32 7.9.51 9.14.68 Goals Casey Scorpions Purves 3 Fieldsend Waite 2 Baumgartner Carew Pollard Riseley Port Melbourne Allan 3 Fanning Sinclair 2 Nixon Sengstock Best Casey Scorpions Cleven Purdy Tynan Fieldsend Baumgartner Corry Port Melbourne McGrath Muling Burge O'Sullivan Gordon Purcell

Earlier this season Casey Ressies played Port at TEAC Oval and were comprehensively thrashed with a team containing a handful of MFC players and Brendon Fevola (it was his comeback game). Today, there are no AFL players in the team and Casey lead at half time. Casey Scorpions 5.4.34 Port Melbourne 4.8.32

The Casey Reserves have the tough assignment of taking on the strong Borough side at TEAC Oval. There are no Demon listed players in the Casey side: PORT MELBOURNE v CASEY SCORPIONS Reserve Grade Saturday 25th June TEAC Oval at 10:10 AM PORT MELBOURNE Backs Burge Castricum Gordon Half backs Thornton Sengstock McGrath Centreline Langford Nixon Wall Half forwards O'Sullivan Sinclair Smith Forwards Martin Allan Mullins Followers Fanning O'Farrell Muling Interchange (from) Furey Free Green C Johnston Lello Michell North Oakley Purcell CASEY SCORPIONS Backs Bolton Patti Clay Half backs Allen Riseley Bell Centreline Dowse Pollard Lindsay Half forwards Petropoulos Purves Fieldsend Forwards Weekes Waite Tynan Followers Cleven Baumgartner Gent Interchange (from) Carew Corry Deaurago Hill Panozza Pendlebury Purdy J Roberts

The Casey Scorpions Senior side has a bye this weekend but the Ressies will saddle up against Port Melbourne on Saturday. I hope to be able to bring you the team later this evening. There's a chance that Danny Nicholls who was the club's top recruit last year but hasn't played so far this year might return for his first game. We might see a Demon or two so please stand by.
