VFL

Casey Scorpions 18.15 (123) d Sandringham 8.10 (58)

Dom Barry: Dom generated 15 disposals on the wing. He is doing a lot of work to improve both his contested and defensive side to his game. He laid a couple of tackles late in the game.

Sam Blease: Sam demonstrated from start to finish his desire to apply pressure on the opposition. He had eight tackles, which was an excellent reward for effort. His speed on defence matched his offensive run. Sam finished with 17 disposals and kicked two quality goals which capped off an overall very good game.

Mitch Clisby: Mitch had 23 disposals, 8 marks and laid six tackles. He is in good form and continues to provide run and be a link player from half-back.

Tom Couch: In ideal conditions for Tom, his combativeness in congestion was very good. He had 34 disposals, seven tackles and also had a team high 10 inside 50s.

Troy Davis: Troy was solid in defence. He was part of a back six that restricted Sandringham to just eight goals. His aggression and work ethic continues to be a major part of his game.

Max Gawn: Max had a significant impact on the game. He had 15 disposals, nine marks, 39 hit outs and kicked 4.3. Given that the conditions were wet, Max fully utilised his big frame and held front position as a forward and his ruck work was first class.

Tom Gillies: Tom played his best game for some time. His speed was back to his pre-season form. Some of his spoils when out of position were very good.

Jesse Hogan: Jesse played against an experienced defender in Jason Blake and took some very strong marks (six in total). Whilst he missed a couple of shots on goal, his ability to hit the packs and bring the ball to ground was again very good.

Neville Jetta: Nev was quiet in the first half, but the pleasing aspect was that he continued to apply defensive pressure and finished with seven tackles, nine possessions and kicked a good goal late in the game.

James Magner: It was perfect conditions for Jimmy. Both he and Couch controlled the stoppages. He also worked to get into space taking 10 marks. In total, Jimmy had 31 disposals, seven tackles and six inside 50s. He also kicked a goal.

James Sellar: James had a very good game. He played on Justin Koschitzke. James won 17 possessions, nine marks and a team high eight spoils.

Jake Spencer: Jake started forward and could have kicked a couple early after taking two contested marks close to goal. He finished with 1.3 for the game and with Max also provided the mids with first use winning 25 hit outs.

Rory Taggert: Rory played his best game for the season. He played a defensive role on one of Sandringham's better players. His use of the ball was very good and he also kicked four goals.

Jimmy Toumpas: Jimmy worked hard all day, won 21 disposals and laid six tackles. He is being encouraged to back himself and take ground when he wins the ball, as he is a good decision maker.

Josh Tynan: Josh also played his best game of the season. His defensive numbers were excellent. He had a team high 11 tackles (backing up last week's eight tackles). He also won his own footy with 17 disposals, four marks and six inside 50s.

Sandringham 6.8 (44) d Casey Scorpions 6.5 (41)

Nathan Stark: Nathan was one of the better players for Casey. He won plenty of the ball and was very good at the stoppages, working well with the ruckman. He has now played two full games and improving his fitness.

Maia Westrupp: Maia played in defence this week and his first half in particular was good. His tackling experience from rugby was evident and he had four in the first half. Playing on an opponent enabled him to get to more contests and he keeps improving.
