Casey Demons Development League 2017 premiers!!!

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Sunday will see the last Demons run out on a footy field for 2017.

The Development League team play in the grand final against Williamstown. I don't expect any MFC listed players to take part but for Melbourne, it's the last gasp of 2017 anyway.

On another VFL issue - North Ballarat has been booted out of the competition.

Governance issues. 

Do we know what they did or didn't do?

must be serious to be booted out QED!

[Drunkn167 5,093]

If you're not doing anything, I implore you get to the game to cheer on the boys.

I realise it's only the Dev league and there's no AFL listed players playing, but this will be the last Dev VFL game ever and there are some great Casey boys in that team.

Not only that, but Keilty played predominantly in the Dev league in his first year at Casey, and if it wasn't for that, he would never have had the chance to work on his game and get the experience to play senior VFL footy, and would never have been drafted to the MFC. My family and I owe a lot to this team and it would mean a lot to have a large number of supportes there.

Does anyone know if K Byers is related to former Demon of the 60's Gary Byers?

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Demons get the first goal of the Development League grand final after 10 minutes. Connor Ambler gets a pass from Todd Medallist Guy Lok. 1.2.8 to 0.1.1

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Zijai gets the second in a minute but Williamstown reply after getting a 50 metre penalty.

It's a great start because the Seagulls have a slight breeze in their favour.

[KC from Casey 7,064]

It's been all Willi for the past 10 minutes.

They lead by 7 points at 23 minutes.
