Stats
Bio
Hailing from Tasmania, Bill Casey was a foundational figure at Princes Park who helped bridge the club’s transition from the VFA into the newly formed Victorian Football League. He established himself as a regular in the Blues' lineup during the competition's inaugural 1897 season, missing just one game in that historic first year. A durable wingman who focused on moving the ball up the ground rather than hitting the scoreboard, Casey remained a consistent feature of the Carlton midfield for four seasons before departing the VFL to continue his career with Northcote Juniors and Brunswick.
