KC from Casey

The VFL season is about to start and I am looking forward to a relaxing day. Footscray unfurled their 2025 flag and going for their 15th win in a row. It’s on television and being streamed so my contribution today will be modest?

We will do our best to post up a teamsheet with player numbers for Casey games but this is subject to the team being announced before the game starts 😃. I'm not being a smart[censored] here because it has happened in the past that the club or the VFL has been very slow at announcing the teams. Stay tuned.

Paul Amy reporting that Jarrod Gatt who had one game with Casey last year, is an outstanding prospect.

The Casey Demons announced joint captains at their season launch - Riley Bonner and Deakyn Smith -

How to get there?

The VFL season opens at the weekend and the Casey Demons have a tough test first up against last year's premiers, Footscray VFL on their turf at Mission Whitten Oval

And Xavier Taylor comes out of defence and goal to make it 166 to 66 and it’s a 100 point ball game. CASEY DEMONS 3.4.22 8.10.58 16.14.110 24.22.166 ST KILDA VFL 1.1.7 5.3.33 10.6.66 10.6.66 10.6.66 GOALS CASEY DEMONS Melksham 4 Laurie Sinnema 3 Bonner Bowden Cross Matthews Scapin 2 Mentha Jr Onley Pippicelli Taylor

Casey 23.21.159 to St Kilda VFL 10.6.66

Casey X - Ethan Stanley ducks and weaves and hits up Bailey Laurie. Another goal on the board for Casey 🙂‍↕️ Saints 66 | Casey 152

Pippicelli also in on the act. There’s no St Kilda comeback here (no NWM either).

Bonner now has 2 and the lead is 50 points.

A goal to Toby Sinnema on the siren gives the Demons a big lead at three quarter time. CASEY DEMONS 3.4.22 8.10.58 16.14.110 ST KILDA VFL 1.1.7 5.3.33 10.6.66 Goals Melksham 4 Sinnema 3 Bowden Cross Laurie 2 Bonner Onley Scapin

Jobe Scapin who impressed last week kicks a goal.

True … but don’t forget that the Saints have only been putting together their list over the past few months.

A crumbing goal to Cross for his second.

Bowden’s turn to kick a second goal. It’s 90 - 47.

Riley Onley’s first in the Demon colours. 84 - 40.

Laurie and Sinnema each get their second goals for the game in quick succession. It’s starting to blow out.

Paddy Cross dribbles through his first goal as a MFC listed player. Casey by 26 points.

Half Time CASEY DEMONS 3.4.22 8.10.58 ST KILDA VFL 1.1.7 5.3.33 Goals Melksham 4 Bonner Bowden Laurie Sinnema

Melk’s fourth came from a kick off the ground. The Demons have steadied in the second half of this quarter.

From Casey’s X account “A crumbing goal from Toby Sinnema and a kick off the ground from Melksham, gets Casey two goals in two minutes.” 50 - 33 Edit: With his fourth goal, Casey go to a 23 point lead.

Casey leads 5.8.38 to 5.3.33 after momentarily giving up the lead. Goal to Bowden puts them back ahead.
