KC from Casey

Half time Casey 7.6.48 to Collingwood 2.8.20. PJ dominating the ruck, Valenti and Jordie McKenzie doing well on the ball. Skipper Kyle Matthews playing strongly. Goals Hughes McGough Miller Mohr Newton Scanlon Whelan Kyle Cheney has 15 possessions and 4 marks with Shane Valenti and Matty Whelan 11 each

Casey 4.5.29 to Collingwood 1.0.6 Goals McGough Mohr Scanlon Whelan Kyle Cheney has had 10 touches and 3 strong marks but his disposal has been ordinary although conditions are not great. They are tailor made for an in and under man like Shane Valenti who has had seven disposals, most of them in the clinches.

I'll try although it's lonely here. More cops than spectators!

Rectified.

The Casey Scorpions are certainly getting plenty of television exposure. Last week at home to Casey, this week at Trevor Barker Beach Oval v Collingwood and next week back at home v Coburg Tigers. Now the AFL announces the Round 17 game v North Ballarat has been moved to Saturday 8 August down the Princes Highway to Morwell - yet another ABC Match of the Round.

Yes. The temperature's about 5 degrees and I need to thaw out.

An avalanche in the last quarter which has been an absolute benefit for Casey. Miller's kicked his fourth. Newton has four & the difference is 98 points.

Goals to Watts and Miller and it's out to 53 points. Watts off with a rolled ankle. Valenti has a corked hip.

A goal on the rebound to Wheels!!!!

I will put up the details when available. Trent Zomer was the only Demon who played in the reserves. Conditions were not really made for big blokes like him but he kicked a couple.

Newton kicked the only goal for the quarter and Frankston was held goalless - 8.9.57 to 3.6.24

Absolutely right. I doubt whether Moloney will be playing in this game. The Scorpions have named a 13 man interchange but 4 MFC players will be eliminated tomorrow night when the Demons announce their final squad of 22. I expect one additional player will be the emergency for Sunday. In the end the team will have five interchange with Ryan (I believe that he's a Gippsland Power player) being the 23rd man under a new VFL rule allowing a TAC Cup player to take part as an extra player. As indicated in my edit of the first post on this thread, the maximum number of MFC players allowed in this game is 12.

Incidentally, the Casey player # 60 who comes into shot right at the end is (I think) Jack Watts.

Earlier this season Danny Hughes took a sensational mark while playing for Casey seconds against Port Melbourne at Casey Fields. Hughes was coming back after injury and it was also Jack Watts' first game. The mark won Almost Footy Legends on The Footy Show last week and has finally made its way to You Tube. Enjoy it here -

Casey must be very popular with the VFL ATM. They feature in the next three Saturday telecasts on ABC1.

Can't argue with that. It was very much a snooze and, as you can imagine, difficult to assess the relative performances. Good news is that Casey is now in fourth place after coming from a long way down following a thrashing at Sandringham in round 1 and a narrow defeat to Port Melbourne in Round 2. FWIW here are some of the pertinent stats from the game(s). I've included Trent Zomer's effort in the reserves - he kicked 5.8! Clint Bartram - 17 kicks 12 handballs 4 marks 8 tackles 1 goal 0 behinds Daniel Bell - 14 kicks 18 handballs 6 marks 1 goal 1 behind Kyle Cheney - 12 kicks 8 handballs 6 marks Lynden Dunn - 17 kicks 7 handballs 9 marks 3 goals 2 behinds Paul Johnson - 14 kicks 10 handballs 8 marks Jordie McKenzie - 9 kicks 8 handballs 4 marks Brad Miller - 9 kicks 9 handballs 6 marks 2 goals 3 behinds Michael Newton - 13 kicks 8 handballs - 4 marks 7 tackles 4 goals 3 behinds Shane Valenti - 7 kicks 8 handballs 1 mark 1 goal 0 behinds Matthew Whelan - 5 kicks 13 handballs 1 marks 5 tackles Trent Zomer (Reserves) - 17 kicks 4 handballs 12 marks 5 goals 8 behinds

Just arrived from a freezing cold Casey Fields. As you can imagine from the scores it was a pretty one sided contest with Casey dominant all over the ground. The fact that Casey had a few players missing from injury (including skipper Kyle Matthews) made little difference. The last quarter was a bit of a cakewalk and, at one stage Lynden Dunn kicked three goals in the space of about five minutes when he was moved up forward. He also had a hand in a few others. Michael Newton had a good game and was unselfish, worked hard and tackled hard. Daniel Bell was strong and unrelenting with his tackling and Paul Johnson dominated in the ruck and around the ground. Casey tried a few blokes who came up from the reserves and all of them did well. Trent Zomer booted five in the reserves. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll put in a full report - probably tomorrow night.
