KC from Casey

Werribee replies and scores are level.

Trengove point - Dees up by 7 points.

Qtr Time Werribee 3.3.21 lead Casey Demons 2.3.15 Goals Kent Scott Disposals Harmes 9, Gent 8, Melksham 7, Maynard 7, Stretch 7

Werribee lead by a goal late in the first quarter. Angus Scott the goalkicker.

This should get some Bomber fans to the game - Todd Vander Haar to make VFL debut for Casey Demons

The key to Sunday's VFL game will be the number of MFC listed players the Casey Demons can put on the park. The club's injury list is slowly becoming more manageable although several of its players are still a way off. With both the AFL and VFL senior Demons playing in roughly the same time frame, some carry over players will need to be held back for the MCG game but hopefully, there will be more depth in the Casey team this week.

VFL Cats tweeting that the gates open at midday and game starts at 1.00pm. Other sources mentioning 2.40pm start. I hope the Casey players' bus turns up on time. I won't be at the game due to work commitments but hope to keep people up to date with scores.

And out to a 53 point margin with Tom Bugg's fifth goal on the board. Bayley Fritsch has four while Corey Maynard has also had another good game this week. VFLlisted players Scott, Morris and Gent have all had big nights.

Declan Keilty coming good at the end with a couple of goals. He's done well today.

The Roosters cut the lead to exactly five goals at the final break but in the circumstances, a five goal lead at three quarter time is not very convincing. Casey Demons 14.8.92 to North Ballarat 9.8.62 Goals Bugg Fritsch 4 Pedersen 2 Briggs Ferreira Lok Maynard Disposals Bugg 26 (+10 tackles) Morris 21 Ferreira Maynard 19 Kennedy 18 White 17 Gent 16

I'm finally on line ... Demons made tough work of it in the wet in the first quarter. It's a much more switched on North Ballarat this week than the one that was flogged by Richmond. Six goals to two was fair reward for effort but the Roosters are by no means the easybeats everybody expected. Tom Bugg starring. Bailey Fritsch is kicking goals and Corey Maynard is proving a bit of a surprise packet.

Congratulations to one of the Casey Demon young guns Mykelti Lefau who has been chosen to represent his home country of New Zealand against the AFL Academy Australian Under 17s at Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Monday April 24. Playing for St Kilda City Under 19s in the Southern Football League late last year Lefau had a match to remember, drilling 25 of his team’s 28 goals in a big victory over Carrum Patterson Lakes. He has already impressed with Casey and we wish him well in his first game for the Kiwis.
