KC from Casey

Funeral and a wake actually.

Half Time (reserves) CASEY SCORPIONS 10.0.60 13.3.81 FRANKSTON 0.0.0 5.1.31

Due to a family function I won't be able to provide regular updates during the afternoon but I can report that Casey Reserves have gotten off to a flyer - 10.0.60 to Frankston 0.0.0 - and that the wind is not much of a factor at the moment.

The FLASH selected in the middle for Casey (edit: but a late scratching) and Neville Jetta is back too!!!

A great last quarter in the rain for Casey who run out winners by 43 points to get themselves back in the race for a top four placing. Casey Scorpions 2.2.14 3.4.22 5.7.37 10.10.70 Box Hill Hawks 0.0.0 1.1.7 2.6.18 3.9.27 Goals Casey Scorpions Bate McGough 2 Cook Dunn Evans Fevola Petropoulos Wall Box Hill Hawks Hoegel Monkhorst Pattison Best Casey Scorpions McNamara Gawn Bate Mohr Tapscott Fevola Box Hill Hawks Ladson Pattison Duryea Gibson Jackson Mirra Tom McNamara revelled in the conditions and had a fantastic game in the wet and the wind with 31 disposals. Max Gawn displayed great agility for a big man and he had an outstanding game in the ruck. Matthew Bate was in good touch and Luke Tapscott was strong and tough. Both had 22 touches.

Goal to Cook after a great pass from Max Gawn.

Doing very well.

Petropoulos intercepts and marks for a goal. Casey 8.7.55 to Box Hill 2.7.19.

Goals to McGough and Fevola put Casey 5 goals up.

Three Quarter Time Casey Scorpions 5.7.37 Box Hill Hawks 2.6.18 Greater desperation from the visitors but a late goal steadied the Scorpions. With the rain easing it's game on. Goals Bate 2 Dunn, Evans, McGough

Box Hill have done all the attacking in the past 10 minutes. Casey 4.6.30 Box Hill 2.5.17

Goal to "Pickles" Evans. Casey by 20 points.

Half Time Casey Scorpions 3.4.22 Box Hill 1.1.7

Goal off the ground from Dunn puts Casey 15 points in front.

First goal to Box Hill after 9 minutes. Casey 2.3.15 Box Hill 1.0.6

And that's the quarter time score.

Second goal to Bate. Late in the opening quarter 2.2.14 to 0.0.0.

Weather getting worse. Bater kicks first goal after a footrace in the wet. He lost the race but his opponent slid across the ground and the big redhead snapped truly. 1.1.7 to 0.0.0 after 14 minutes.

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!

A must win game for the Scorpions against Box Hill at Casey Fields on Sunday.

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.
