Youthful Frankston upsets Northern Bullants
11 June 2007 Herald-Sun
Geoff Poulter
The Casey Scorpions produced the upset of the round by overpowering Port Melbourne by 24 points at Casey Fields yesterday.
Midfielder Nigel Carmody was named best for the Scorpions while Fergus Watts booted three goals as a key forward.
Scorpions coach Peter Banfield was also pleased with the form of Andrew McQualter and Shane Birss.
"We were behind at halftime but I thought we had control for a lot of the game," Banfield said.
"We made some skill errors in the second quarter which let them in.
"We had a lot more of the footy than them, we just didn't capitalise in that second quarter and they got away.
"After halftime we just used the ball a lot better and that was the reason we got ourselves in front.
"We should have beaten Coburg, we missed 10 set shots at goal, we should have beaten Williamstown when we were really unlucky.
"We are not as good as the top couple of sides but after that we are not too bad.
"We are playing a lot of young kids and that takes a bit of time."
