KC from Casey

James Munro, out of a pack, puts the Dees in front by 3 points!!!

Inching closer - 55 to 57

Same deal as Q1 now with Casey peppering the goals and kicking point after point. Now just 4 points down.

JKH from the boundary slots a beauty. If that doesn't inspire them to lift nothing will.

Again, the Blues hit back with a quick reply. Casey struggling to get two on the trot today.

Meanwhile, from the Boy Wonder at Casey Fields, I can report that Oskar Baker has kicked his first for the day.

Wasteful early in the game and sloppy in the last half of the second term. Casey doing its best to drop this one. Can’t underestimate the effect of the loss of Preuss on the team. Blues are winning well in the ruck. Half Time 2019 Hard Yakka / Totally Workwear VFL Casey Demons 3.6.24 5.8.38 Northern Blues 5.1.31 8.3.51 Goals Casey Demons Lefau 2 Bedford Hutchins Kennedy Harris Disposals Munro 17 Maynard 13 Kennedy Harris 11 Jordon 10

Another one to the Blues. They have made the most of their chances and the umpiring and lead by 13 points.

Northern Blues lead 7.3.45 to Casey Demons 5.8.38 at the 18 minute mark of the second quarter.

Lefau gets his second thanks to a lovely pass from Josh Wagner - 5.6.36 to 6.3.39.

Northern Blues keep coming back and now lead by nine points 39 - 30.

Mykleti Lefau, ever dangerous in front of goal, scores the first major of the second term. Blues still lead by 2 points.

Late goal to Deluca of the Blues puts them 7 points ahead. Casey have hit the post three times in the opening quarter.

Toby Bedford returns fire - back to a 2 point margin.

Another goal to the Blues who are now on top of the Demons 4.0.24 to 2.4.16.

And another to the Blues. Casey have dominated possession and inside 50 count but find themselves 2 points down.

Garlett of the Blues gets their second. Casey lead by 4 points.

Liam Wale-Buxton is a competent VFL ruckman. Backed up by Declan Keilty and young rookie Austin Bradtke.

Jack Hutchins snags one - 16 - 6

The usual opening. Casey dominate for the first 10 minutes. Kick 1.2.8 and then the opposition go forward for a goal. This one kicked by Garlett - theirs not ours.

JKH gets the opening goal (no surprise either). Casey Demons 1.1.7 to Northern Blues 0.0.0. Only one Wagner playing. Josh, I think - so that means Corey Wagner joins Preuss as a hold over emergency. And look who’s back!

Today is Pink Ribbon Day at Casey

Confirming that a number of players coming back from injury including Jake Lever, Neville Jetta, Kade Chandler and Declan Keilty are to line up with the Casey Demons on Saturday.

After their horror start to the season, the Casey Demons find themselves on a three game winning streak and on the cusp of climbing into the top eight. This week they are up against another rival for a finals berth so needless to say, they can’t let up. With a few Melbourne listed players likely to return from injury, expect a strong team to take the field on Saturday - CASEY DEMONS v NORTHERN BLUES Saturday 6 July, 2.00pm Casey Fields, Cranbourne East CASEY DEMONS B 4.
