KC from Casey

Wet and a bit wooly in the Cranbourne area today and a little reminiscent of the day late last season at City Oval Box Hill when the Hawks mauled the Demons. Cold as ...

The Box Hill Hawks monstered the undermanned and underdone Casey Demons in their opening round clash. The return game is vital to Casey's 2019 campaign and they are still smarting from injury issues with Declan Keilty and Kade Kolodjashnij likely outs.

The lead has been pegged back to 21 points again. Casey might have finals aspirations but to battle to put away one of the bottom clubs is not a good pointer for the rest of the year.

Corey Wagner gets his second to make it a 27 point lead.

Coburg just won’t go away. They goal to narrow Casey’s lead to 21 points.

Toby Bedford gets the opening goal of the last quarter.

On cue, Coburg get a point for you.

Coburg can’t miss - a goal makes it 5.0.30 to 7.10.52

And a reply from Kolodjashnij who accpted the pass from Maynard.

Goals to White and Preuss press home Casey’s advantage at half time. Casey Demons 6.8.44 to Coburg 3.0.18 Goals Bradtke Dunkley Maynard Preuss Quigley White Disposals Lewis 16 Kennedy Harris 13 Dunkley 9 Maynard Quigley 8 Lewis and JKH dominating. Dunkley less so in that quarter.

Austin Bradtke kicks a goal - Casey up by 2 goals. It’s very dull at Coburg. Both the atmosphere and the game.

Maynard goal and a couple of points puts Casey up by 6 points.

Reply from Coburg 6 - 6

Goal to that man Dunkley kicks things off for the Demons.

The Casey Demons will continue their 2019 campaign under a new coach. Demon fans might recall Sam Radford as a courageous Zebra who suffered a bad injury in the early days of Melbourne’s alignment with Sandringham. Radford replaces Jade Rawlings who is back with the AFL Demons after a coaching reshuffle at Melbourne. Casey takes on Coburg away from home on Sunday.

Kyle Dunkley looks a player. He kicks his third.

Preuss gets a 50 metre penalty and duly converts. Casey by 51 points.
