Free to Bombers breathes life into the game. Now 8 points the difference at the 27 minute mark.

Bernie Vince has been very important in this quarter. Gent marks 35 metres out but misses.

Hard to score in these conditions but a free to Garlett makes him a hero. Lead 13 points.

Jimmy Munro goals to put Casey in front.

Vince, J. Kennedy-Harris Out : J. Briggs, P. McKenna Mitch King has been left out of the side for the second week in a row, this time at the expense of an undersized ruckman in Mykelti Lefau. I think his papers might have been stamped. Meanwhile, the game is just underway and Jeff Garlett has marked in front to score the opening goal with just one minute gone.

I don’t think that there will be any changes except if there are unforeseen injuries in the Demon camp.

Yeah, nah. The VFL Cats play the Hawks on Sunday in a semi final. The winner gets to play Williamstown. Casey will play the winner of Richmond v Essendon.
