KC from Casey

Pat McKenna gets the third.

Free to Collis and he kicks his second!

Will Collis kicks the first goal for Casey.

As usual, there’s a bit of rain about the Cranbourne region and it’s a gloomy day at Casey Fields. The conditions should suit the home side that’s been improved from the weakened team of the last couple of weeks by the inclusion of some handy AFL listed players. Meanwhile, Geelong’s Stewart Crameri has been withdrawn from the game and replaced by Aiden Grace. Game starts in under half an hour.

Stunned by that. He played a fantastic game a few weeks back for Sandringham. I thought he was going to get a promotion to the Saints seniors, not the flick. Could it be another case of proposed rookie listing?

The Casey Demons are home to Geelong VFL in Saturday’s Qualifying Final and the numbers should be boosted for this week at least by some players returning from injury and the fact that there is no need to hold any players over for the AFL because they have a bye. A win and a week’s break would be handy given the injury situation at Melbourne but it won’t be easy.

I agree with you that Josh was the better (slightly) of the Wagners on the day. I had to check the VFL site to make sure that it was Corey who was named. Against that, I felt that Corey was the better of the two last week but Josh was named so go figure.

There goes the full time siren to signal a comprehensive victory to Williamstown after Cam Pedersen kicks his third goal and Jeff Garlett his fourth at the 37 minute mark of the final term. Casey will play Geelong at home in the Qualifying Final next weekend. Times to be advised.

Munro pushes his opponent in the back and the Seagulls now have a 7 goal lead.

Jaxon Briggs reported and gives away a free to Williamstown for another goal.

Free and a 50 in front of goal to Williamstown. Lead 32 points.

A Williamstown player was just run down, tackled, lost the footy ... play on ? Where do they find these people?

Another to Hutchins brings it back to 24 points at 11 minutes. Box Hill Hawks win by 20 points.

Jack Hutchins has gone forward to kick a goal but it’s all over red rover. Box Hill lead Geelong by 21 points late in that game.

Another to Williamstown ... and another. The good news is that Box Hill are now 16 points in front of the Cats.

First blood in the final term to Willy - they lead by 26 points.

Ironical cheers as a Seagull player is dispossessed and gives free to Goy Lok and its a goal!!! 54 to 70

A mark paid to Williamstown after the ball clearly hit the ground. Hits the post - lead now 22 points. Casey players frustrated now.

Ditto ... but the lead is now 20 points.

Surprise, surprise ... another free in front to Williamstown gives it a 19 point lead.

Another to Williamstown and they lead by 13 points.

Seagulls looking stronger and score the first goal of the half to go to a 7 point lead.

Another free in front to Willy but it’s a miss.

The umpiring in this game is interesting. Williamstown hit the front with a free straight in front. Half Time Williamstown 7.5.47 to Casey Demons 7.4.46 Goals Garlett 3 Pedersen 2 Lockhart T Smith Disposals C Wagner 12 Stockdale J Wagner 10 Lockhart Pedersen 9
