AFL Debut and First Goal

Casey Sibosado made his first appearance in the AFL in 2011. This was in the very last game of the 2011 AFL season. He got to play because another player, Luke McPharlin, could not play that day.

At that time, many players on the Fremantle team were injured. Because of this, Fremantle needed special permission to let Casey and another player, Joel Houghton, join the main team from their "rookie list." A rookie list is like a training squad for new or developing players. This allowed the team to have enough players for the game.

Casey had an amazing start to his AFL career. He kicked a goal with his very first kick in an AFL game!

After the 2011 Season

After the 2011 season ended, Casey Sibosado was "delisted" by Fremantle. This means he was no longer part of the team's official player list.
