KC from Casey

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

Goal on the buzzer to the Sharks QT Casey Demons 3.5.23 lead Southport 3.2.20 Goals Cross Hardie van Rooyen Disposals Howes 9 Hardie 8 Woewodin 7

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

Except for that Kentfield mark.

Not much excitement happening in this game.

No idea but the reference in team selection was “(AFL)”.
