No stage is too great for these Demons.
Casey graced the coliseum that is the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday afternoon when it hosted the Sydney Swans in a curtain raiser for the AFL.
As it has done for the best part of the season, Casey led at every change in the resounding 12.11 (83) to 6.8 (44) win.
Sam Weideman and George Grey booted three majors, while Mitch White had another 20 disposals and a goal.
The Demons – the unambiguous best team in the competition – are now a whopping three wins clear atop of the table and have Collingwood next Sunday on the radar.
Frankston, meanwhile, suffered one of its more disappointing losses of the season.
The Dolphins travelled to Piranha Park on Sunday afternoon to take on a Coburg outfit with just one win.
The wayward kicking from Frankston made the Lions look a completely different side, as less scoring shots resulted in the 11.7 (73) to 6.14 (50) win for the Burgers.
Danny Ryan’s men kicked 0.5 in the first term and 0.4 in the last.
Despite suffering a substandard loss, Nathan Freeman was back doing what he does best, gathering a stupendous 38 disposals.
The state of the ladder is salt into the wound for the Dolphins, who now sit two wins out of the top eight and will host fourth placed Brisbane this Friday off the back of a five-day break.
In other matches, Mac Andrew (Berwick/Gold Coast) sent the footy world into frenzy when the 6”8 utility charged down the elusive Sam Fowler (Dromana/Collingwood).
Sam Wetering (Springvale Districts/Collingwood) kicked five for the Pies in the loss to the Suns, and Jake Arundell (Rowville/Box Hill Hawks) was impressive on debut with 11 touches and a goal.
