Free to McAdam. Goal!

Lions reply - they trail by a goal.

Josh Schache goals and then Matt Jefferson makes it two goals for Casey. They lead 2.0.12 to 0.1.1.

I’m not sure that he played even that many because it was reported he was injured. Hopefully, he’s learned something about ruck craft.

The Brisbane Lions are one game off top spot, the Casey Demons are languishing in the bottom third of the ladder but the possible increase in available AFL-listed Demons should make this game more interesting than appears to be the case. My question for the week to the people who put together the VFL fixture is why it didn't happen last week when Melbourne played in Brisbane?

That’s the game. Casey win by 28 points after overrunning the Bullants in the second half.

It’s late in the game and Casey have it wrapped up. Bailey Laurie and Kynan Brown - solid efforts in the conditions from the team’s smaller men.

Sestan’s quarter so far.

3QT Casey Demons 6.14.50 lead Northern Bullants 6.3.39. From the time McAdam scored Casey’s sixth goal at about 4 minutes into the quarter, both sides had trouble scoring goals. The Bullants are lucky to still be in the game thanks to some errant kicks for goal by the visitors. Goals McAdam 2 Jefferson Billings Neocleous Schache Disposals Fullarton 19 Howes 18 Laurie 17 K.
