KC from Casey

Another goal to Sandy who now lead by 3 goals.

Looks like a bad day for Demon teams in the wind. Halfway through the second quarter and Sandy have put on four goals to lead by 10 points.

That's quarter time and the Demons did not use the breeze all that well - 3.3.21 to 1.0.6 Goals Fritsch Munro Scott Disposals Kennedy Kennedy-Harris 11 Trengove 9 Brayshaw Collis 7

Angus Scott gets a late goal.

Goals to Fritsch and Munro see Casey off to a good start.

Hi VP. Barry is my old man and he, together with a few old codgers who used to frequent Beach Road Oval, taught me everything I know. Unfortunately, although he used to enjoy the odd drink (and there was always a plentiful supply flowing from the social club) his medical condition makes drinking even more hazardous for him than back in the day. He and my mum, Mavis, reconciled a few years ago (after the accident he had with the lawn mower) and they upped stumps and retired to the Gold Coast where they live in a nice aged care facility not far from the Yatala prison where mum can visit her brothers. The ground here has lots of memories but it's not like it was in the old days.

Half Time and the Demons kept the Zebras scoreless to lead 7.9.51 to 3.2.20. Goals Di Pasquale Zijai 2 Cox Hillard Lefau

Could I start the day by welcoming Casey's neighbour Frankston Dolphins back into the fold? They will resume competition in 2018 and be joined by North Melbourne which has severed ties with Werribee and field a stand alone VFL team. QTR TIME: Development League Casey Demons 3.3.21 lead Sandringham 3.2.20 Goals Zijai 2 Lefau

The brothers Brayshaw come up against each other on Saturday. Angus is picked for the Casey Demons while Hamish from the Sandy Dragons is a top up player for Sandy.

Building but still very much a work in process. Look for him next year.

Doubled their score - a fair effort after such a slow start. Peter Jackson VFL 2017 Casey Demons 0.4.4 3.8.26 5.11.41 12.14.86 Coburg 1.1.7 3.3.31 5.5.35 6.7.43 Goals Casey Demons Weideman 3 Ferreira Johnstone 2 Fritsch King Maynard Munro Pedersen Coburg Kerbatieh Posar 2 Karpany McEvoy Best Casey Demons Maynard Weideman Brayshaw Keilty Gent Spencer Coburg Exon Hunt Posar Mellington Iacobaccio Conn Disposals Maynard 28 Gent 24 Wagner 22 Brayshaw 22 Weideman 20

Maynard puts the icing on the cake.

Sam Weideman takes a big grab for another. His last half is putting him in contention.

Building up a good lead - handy at this juncture of the season. True to form Coburg get a goal as I'm writing.

Demons now running away with it after three goals this quarter to Weideman, Munro and Johnstone.

Dion Johnstone's late goal saw Casey re-take the lead at the final break by a goal - 5.11.41 to 5.5.35. Goals Ferreira Johnstone King Pedersen Weideman Disposals Maynard 23 Gent 19 Wagner Weideman 17

Coburg come back strong to lead by a point. Are the Demons channeling their AFL counterparts?

Casey 3.8.26 to Coburg 3.3.21 Goals Ferreira King Pedersen Disposals Gent 14 Maynard Wagner Weideman 13

Goal on the siren to Mitch King puts the Dees in front at the half.

Aloysio Ferreira gets the second to make it 2 points the difference in Coburg's favour.

Cam Pedersen gets the first.

Still goalless and trailing by 14 points.
