Gordon Casey (born 25 March 1950) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton and Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL). [1]

Casey, recruited from Gorya (towns of Speed & Turriff), started his career as a forward and was the Carlton reserves leading goal-kicker in both 1967 and 1968. [2] He only got one opportunity to play in the seniors and in 1969 he tried his luck at a new club, Footscray. [3] His time at Footscray was spent in the back pocket and he was good enough to represent Victoria against Tasmania in 1973. [4] He later played at Swan Districts and appeared in the 1980 WAFL Grand Final.
