KC from Casey

Weideman kicks his second.

Quarter Time Casey leads 5.7.37 to 2.2.14 Goals Van Rooyen 2 Dunstan Turner Weideman Disposals Dunstan 10 Tomlinson 9 Munro 8 JVR 7

Weideman getting into the game. Goal.

Roo gets the second 13-7.

Of the MFC emergencies for today, the players out of the side and presumably taken to Perth are Mitch Brown, Kade Chandler and Jake Melksham. The game has started and the scores are 7 all after Dunstan gets Casey’s first.

That Casey team is likely to change because at least one, most likely two players will be on the flight to Perth. Looks like former Demons in Dom Tyson and Marty Hore will line up against their old side’s VFL counterpart.

Andy is improving from week to week in front of our eyes. He was a great contributor today and is definitely going to go further than just VFL level if he keeps applying himself.

Yes. Mitch had a real day out with 6.2 and 17 touches in all.

The Casey Demons have finished the game off with a comfortable win off the back of a great opening term in which they put the Southport Sharks to the sword and kept them scoreless. The visitors fought back and provided an excellent contest for the remainder of the game. Pity the powers that be decided to fixture a clash of times between the two Demon sides.

Goals to Van Rooyen and M Brown (#6 for the day) ease the pressure on Casey who have met with plucky opposition since quarter time.

Three Quarter Time Casey Demons 10.9.69 to Southport 6.8.44 Goals M.Brown 5 Moniz-Wakefield 2 Dunstan Melksham Van Rooyen Disposals Chandler Tomlinson 17

Scoring tough for Casey since half time. They lead by 4 goals going into time on.

Melksham’s all class with a a lovely snap goal that dribbles through to put Casey 31 points up.

Southport opens the second half strongly but a goal to AMZ steadies.

Southport came back strongly with the last four goals of the term. Half Time: Casey Demons 8.5.53 to 4.4.28 Goals M.Brown 5 Dunstan Moniz-Wakefield Van Rooyen Disposals Chandler 14 White 13 Dunstan 10

Southport have kicked their first and trail 10 - 50.

And just like that Brown has 5.

Van Rooyen hasn’t been seen much during the game to date but he shows a lot of class and goal sense to makes it 44 - 2.

Mitch Brown kicks his fourth goal as the quarter time siren sounds. Casey Demons 6.2.38 to Southport 0.0.0 The other goalkickers are Dunstan and Moniz-Wakefield. Disposals White 10 Brown Dunstan Munro 7.

Another free close to goal and Luke Dunstan’s on the scoreboard.

Andy Moniz-Wakefield flies and is awarded a free in front of goal and kicks truly.

Make that 3 to Mitch Brown.

Brown hot today - he already has 2 goals. Jake Bell, Riley Baldi and newcomer Tyler Edwards replace Toby Bedford, Majak Daw and Bailey Laurie.

Mitch Brown has the first goal. I can’t see Bailey Laurie there either.
