Mitch Hardie is the Casey forward line at the moment. Two goals to him.

Laurie hits up Billings who gets hit late in after the mark and gets a 50metre penalty bringing him to the top of the goalsquare and coverts.

Sandy now lead by a point after Billing’s goal.

Tholstrup wins a holding the ball free and converts the set shot 20-25 metres out on a slight angle, Casey hit the front.

Hope Kolt gets some confidence from that.

kolt in the midfield and looks like a different player at this level and in that role

Kolt is bringing the tackling heat early.

Kolt a different man today. 2 clearances and then stole a free kick from Cambell to nail that goal. He looks so good through the middle. Then a chase down tackle (he has real speed - I thought it was Sharp), and set up a Sharp goal. Just a different player.

Tholstrup with a run down tackle and another free, kicks it long to the top of the square where sharp roves the ball and kicks the goal.

Tholstrup looking good on ball so far

And all of a sudden with that goal to Harry Sharp it’s 31 - 20 in favour of the Demons.

Kolt has it on a string at the moment.

if sandringham are going it alone in 2026 and the aints are fielding a standalone vfl side... now how many teams will there be in this competition??

I suspect still several more than the VFL fixturing team can count to.

Tholstrup very busy with some good hands resulting in close, Hardie marks just inside 50 and gets his 3rd

Kolt clearance, through Bonner, to Hardie, goal.

Mitch again - his third.

Good grab jeffo, presented strongly and took it in his hands out front. And converts.

Tholstrup looking good on ball so far

Amateur hour this club. Tholstrup should’ve been given a month in the midfield at Casey when he came back from a long term injury, instead he was thrown straight back into the AFL off no pre season and has since been thrown around all year, ruining his confidence and his season. Terrible development. Same can be said for a lot of players. Kolt has had a terrific start to this game playing in the centre.

Good response from Kolt. Would have 7 or 8 touches, two big game changing tackles and a goal.

Interesting though watching him at CBs - he clearly needs coaching about how to get on the move and when. Can ball watch a little. To be fair, I don't think he was ever a permanent midfielder as a junior. I think the club know he's coming from a way back and have taken a very long term punt on what he could be with proper coaching and fitness paired with his power, frame and character.

Jeffo dropped a couple of uncontested ones (again!) but he is showing good defensive intent and covering the ground well. He and Kentfield look good together...honestly it's probably better than the AFL forward line. Hardie is a weapon

Very clean hands for jeffo with hands up high

El jefe!! Another good mark and perfect set shot for his 2nd

Tom Campbell delivers it on a platter for Jeffo who kicks his second!

After conceding the first two, Casey now lead by 29!

Casey are currently kicking into the breeze. This could get ugly for Sandy...

Accurate kicking and a run of unanswered goals. Looking good so far.

Sometimes you need to get thrown to the wolves. He has benefited from experiencing the intensity and intent required to play in the firsts.
