CASEY have named their extended squad for Sunday afternoon’s VFL Grand Final against Box Hill.
The Demons will be armed with the services of 12 Melbourne-listed players, with Bayley Fritsch returning to the Casey team after missing out on AFL selection.
Bernie Vince will also feature again in the VFL, bringing immense experience into the squad.
Five additional players are in the mix to come in, with Pat McKenna, Goy Lok, Jaxon Briggs, Aidan Quigley and Angus Scott named on the extended bench.
Dion Johnstone is the hard-luck story of the week, having gained a one week suspension for striking in the VFL preliminary final.
Joel Smith will miss, after being called up to the AFL for the preliminary final.
The final team for Sunday’s Grand Final will be finalised 30 minutes prior to the bounce on Sunday.
