A REAL DOWNER by KC from Casey

[Demonland 71,629]

When Sam Weideman kicked his third goal at the midpoint of the second quarter of Casey’s game at Downer Oval , Point Gellibrand on Sunday, he put his team 26 points ahead of the goalless Seagulls. Buoyed by the return from injury of Weideman and a number of other AFL-listed Melbourne players including Jordan Lewis, Mitch Hannan, and Jay Kennedy Harris and an impressive start to Jake Lever’s second game on return from his ACL surgery, the Demons were seemingly on top of the world.

Lewis and Lever were controlling the backlines, Weidman was a tower of strength up forward and

Mitch Hannan and Jay Kennedy Harris were both on the scoreboard with first half goals.

But late in the second term, it all started going terribly wrong as Casey went on a real downer.

Firstly, Jake Lever limped off into the hands of the trainers with what appeared to be an ankle injury and he failed to return to the field. He joined Corey Maynard (head) on the bench, drastically reducing the team’s interchange capacity.

The Seagulls who had kicked three of the last four goals of the first half, came out in the third quarter bristling with confidence as the Demons went into their all too familiar lock down mode and conceded five goals in the third term to spiral to yet another disappointing defeat that is likely to see the club out of the action come finals time. Three junk time goals very late in the final term gave Casey a flattering score line showing a mere 16 point loss.

The Demons now sit in 11^th place with another difficult assignment against   Werribee at Avalon Airport Oval  this Saturday afternoon.
