KC from Casey

Twenty-two minutes into the third and Casey lead 4.12.36 to 3.4.22. Should be so far ahead that it wouldn’t matter but this has been the story of the club throughout so why change the narrative when the season’s on the line?

Bright start to the half with the big Wale-Buxton goaling to give the Demons a 2 goal lead.

Half Time: Casey 3.8.26 to 3.3.21 Goals Hutchins 2 White Disposals Munro J Wagner 13 Preuss 12 Lockhart White 9 A lifeless performance from most of the MFC players. Conditions have turned a bit wretched.

Back to a 5 point game in the shadows of half time.

Jack Hutchins kicks his second goal to give the Demons a 10 point lead.

And another goal to Frankston brings them to within a goal.

19 - 8

Quarter Time with Casey Demons in control - 2.6.18 to 0.2.2 Goals Hutchins White Disposals J Wagner 7 Lockhart Preuss 6 Tynan 5

17 - 2 late in the first

Casey 2.3.15 to Frankston 0.0.0 Jack Hutchins kicked the second.

And Mitch White gets the first goal.

Game starting here and good luck to Declan and all the boys - they’re really playing for their season today.

The Casey Demons meet an improving Frankston at SkyBus Stadium in their final regular season game. It’s a must win.

Casey’s win puts the Demons into the top eight but they must defeat an improving Frankston at Casey next week and hope that Box Hill drops one of its two remaining games to play off in this year’s finals series. 2019 Hard Yakka / Totally Workwear VFL Casey Demons 2.0.12 4.3.27 5.7.37 8.9.57 Collingwood VFL 2.4.16 2.8.20 2.11.23 5.12.42 Goals Casey Demons Chandler Neal-Bullen J Wagner 2 Hutchins White Collingwood VFL Gallucci 2 Crocker Hetherington Stanford Best Casey Demons Keilty Hore Hutchins Tynan J Wagner Preuss Collingwood VFL Tardrew Woodward Hetherington Crocker Appleby Wellings Statistics Toby Bedford 1 behind 4 kicks 3 handballs 7 disposals 4 tackles 51 dream team points Austin Bradtke 1 behind 2 kicks 2 disposals 1 tackle 13 dream team points Kade Chandler 2 goals 7 kicks 2 handballs 9 disposals 4 marks 5 tackles 69 dream team points Dylan Collis 5 kicks 3 handballs 8 disposals 5 marks 4 tackles 52 dream team points Tom Freeman 12 kicks 2 handballs 14 disposals 4 marks 3 tackles 64 dream team points Matt Gahan 10 kicks 3 handballs 13 disposals 3 marks 3 tackles 64 dream team points Marty Hore 20 kicks 5 handballs 25 disposals 9 marks 2 tackles 100 dream team points Jack Hutchins 1 goals 9 kicks 3 handballs 12 disposals 10 marks 1 tackles 70 dream team points James Jordon 8 kicks 3 handballs 11 disposals 2 marks 1 tackle 49 dream team points Declan Keilty 8 kicks 5 handballs 13 disposals 8 marks 1 tackle 1 hit out 60 dream team points Jay Lockhart 1 behind 6 kicks 3 handballs 9 disposals 3 marks 1 tackle 39 dream team points Nick Lowden 2 kicks 4 handballs 6 disposals 1 mark 1 tackles 18 dream team points Corey Maynard 6 kicks 6 handballs 12 disposals 2 marks 3 tackles 42 dream team points James Munro 11 kicks 11 handballs 22 disposals 9 marks 9 tackles 119 dream team points Alex Neal-Bullen 2 goals 8 kicks 7 handballs 15 disposals 3 marks 5 tackles 77 dream team points Braydon Preuss 16 kicks 3 handballs 19 disposals 5 marks 2 tackles 75 hit outs 149 dream team points Charlie Spargo 7 kicks 7 handballs 14 disposals 1 mark 3 tackles 47 dream team points Cory Stockdale 7 kicks 2 handballs 9 disposals 3 marks 5 tackles 51 dream team points Billy Stretch 10 kicks 8 handballs 18 disposals 2 marks 1 tackles 53 dream team points Luke Tynan 13 kicks 8 handballs 21 disposals 5 marks 3 tackles 80 dream team points Josh Wagner 2 goals 20 kicks 2 handballs 22 disposals 7 marks 4 tackles 101 dream team points Liam Wale-Buxton 1 behind 5 kicks 2 handballs 7 disposals 3 marks 2 tackles 13 hit outs 50 dream team points Mitch White 1 goal 2 behinds 10 kicks 1 handballs 11 disposals 5 marks 2 tackles 64 dream team points

Kade Chandler scored the last goal to make it a 15 points win for the Demons.

Casey by 9.

Goal to ANB - lead out to 8 points.

Demons lead by 2 points - 7 minutes into the last.

Demons 4.1.25 to Magpies 2.5.17

Chandler kicks things off with a goal!

Ball has been bounced.

The odds are stacked against Casey making the finals. The Demons are only half a game behind the Box Hill Hawks but the latter have an extra game to play.

For someone who busted a collarbone a month ago, Marty Hore is playing a damn good game.

Nick Lowden gets his second but the Tigers lead by 6 goals.
