THE sun peeked through at one stage, but it was altogether a dirty day at Casey Fields, cold and wet and windy, a winter special.

And for the Casey Scorpions it was a rotten result.

They not only lost to Collingwood by 40 points, they lost top spot on the VFL ladder, handing it over to Williamstown after the Seagulls overcame a dogged Frankston at Point Gellibrand.

And their return of 2.7 (19) was the club’s lowest in the VFA/VFL, thinner than the 3.4 (22) against North Ballarat in 2004.

In heavy conditions that left the players exhausted, the Magpies took the lead through goals from Matt Smith and Jordan Collopy in the first quarter and held it the rest of the way.

The one-touch class of James Aish and Rupert Wills was telling, ruckman Lachlan Howe took it up to big Jake Spencer and Travis Cloke was the best forward on the ground.
