At 3QT Casey Demons 13.17.95 were destroying the beleaguered Bullants 1.5.11 and my iPhone was down to almost zero battery in sympathy with the home side. Luckily, I have a spare battery and could recharge.

Considering the number of AFL players available, the result was poor again.

Tholstrup and Cross goal but Southport too good. Lead by 26 points

Southport getting away from Casey - as you would expect when a team kicks 8 behinds in a quarter. The Demons are 4.17.41 to the Sharks 9.7.61. Goals Cross Hardie Jefferson van Rooyen

Paddy Cross is in and goals to make it 22 - 14 in favour of Casey.

Hardie has Casey’s second. They lead 14 to 7. Fullarton and Laurie not out there so I suspect they’re Brisbane bound with the AFL boys.

JvR has Casey’s first goal - it’s 7 vs 7
