At the end of the round five match of the 1907 VFL season, Casey struck a 16-year-old spectator and rendered him unconscious for 15 minutes. He was later found guilty of assault and fined £3 In round four of the 1910 VFL season, Casey was reported for striking George Topping, in retaliation for the Carlton player's king hit on Casey's teammate Bert Streckfuss. He received a 16-week suspension, meaning that he missed the rest of the year and the start of the 1911 season. He coached Launceston club City in 1913 and also played some football for Footscray in the Victorian Football Association. Casey died young, in 1919, a victim of the influenza pandemic. (en)
