KC from Casey

HT Casey Demons 5.8.38 and Northern Bullants 6.2.38 are having a close tussle in the cold, wet conditions at Preston. Goals McAdam Jefferson Billings Neocleous Schache Disposals Laurie 11 K. Brown 10 Fullarton Steele 9

The more accurate Bullants lead 6.2.38 to Casey 4.8.32 late in the second term. I’m looking after my iPhone in the wet up here so reports are not going to be made regularly through the afternoon.

Of course, Kynan Brown only had a few minutes tonight but will they fly him down to play for Casey? Naaaah?

Casey’s opponent this week is North Melbourne VFL which, like the Demons, had no trouble in dispensing with Collingwood at their last outing. Casey needs to keep winning if it is to fall into a top 10 placing and play finals. They have to reproduce the form they displayed against Collingwood.

Game over and Casey wins its first home game for 2024.
