KC from Casey

It’s Wildcard Weekend in the VFL with the Casey Demons taking a well earned rest after the heroics of last week against Box Hill. Richmond VFL take on UWS Giants at Port Melbourne on Saturday with Collingwood playing host to Williamstown at Victoria Park. Casey will enter the finals next weekend under a complex system that will determine which team plays which going forward. In other VFL news, the future of the standalone Northern Bullants, who have recently reverted to their original name, the Preston Bullants, is under threat. Appeals are being made for financial support to ensure the financially strained club remains viable.
