Dear Melbourne Supporters,

I am the president of the recently formed Casey Demons Supporter group and we are thrilled that the Melbourne Football Club has signed a 30 year deal with the council and the Scorpions to use Casey Fields as its training facility and home base.

We have organised an official launch breakfast with the assistance and support of the MFC and the details are enclosed. We hope that you will attend this inaugural event and possibly even join the Casey Demons at a small introductory annual cost of $5.

We will be organising events in the City of Casey before and during the football season where you will be given the chance to interact with Melbourne players and officials. You will no longer have to drive into the city for an autograph or a photo with your favourite player because we'll make sure that you have every opportunity locally.

The Melbourne Football Club is just as excited as we are and are overjoyed about having a base they can call home, something that has been missing since 1985 when they moved from the MCG.

They are genuinely keen to meet with their Casey supporters and have given the Casey Demons Supporter Group their wholehearted support which we greatly appreciate.

If you would like to attend the breakfast or join our Supporter group you can phone me on 0408539886 or 03 59985228. Alternatively, you may prefer to email me at [email protected]

Kind Regards and Go Dees!

Lisa Schreurs

PS We would like to invite 6 past players to attend at our expense so please phone me if you'd like to be there. I have only two acceptances so far, not counting Jim Stynes and Chris Connolly.

Hi Lisa... all of us at Demonland support the Casey Demons and will happily promote your activities as much as we can.

WJ has even joined the social club down at Casey so I'm sure he'll personally support the CD's. There are a few others around here in the same boat.

So good luck and cheers!

Sorry will be up at Buller then!

But I'll be back for the weekend to watch the dees!

Hi Lisa, great to see a new supporter group getting underway, wishing you all the best.

You might not get a large number of responses to this site because it's heavily populated by people who are either out of Melbourne but dedicated to keeping informed, or people who are in town and keep themselves informed anyway.

But I will say to everyone in Melbourne - get along to the opening of the Casey Demons supporter group! Let's make them feel welcome and be there at the start so we can feel good watching it grow!

Fantastic news. This is an exciting venture for the Club and It's good to see there is support behind it!

I wont be able to make it up but all the best with the launch. Go Dees.

I'd love to be a part of it, PM me the details.

Just please don't have a username that has 1958 in it

Please somebody say something!

Are we going to be the Demons or Scorpions?

Thanks to everyone for your support and enthusiasm. I've already had a booking this morning from someone who read about the breakfast in this forum.

In hindsight, it was foolish of a Melbourne supporter to use 1958 in her user name.

All the best Lisa sounds like a great thing for the club, we need all the support we can get. Unfortunately I'm working at that time so I wont be able to attend.

Thanks J-Riv. I am really excited about our new supporter group and I am pleased to announce that we have 103 attending to date. We can accept 250 bookings so I am keeping my fingers crossed that we can achieve that.

Thanks, dee-luded,

I love the Demons and I have been a member since I was 5 which is a hell of a long time ago. My husband and I go to almost every match including the interstate games so we are very committed to the Dees which can be hard at times. Our children and grandchildren are all Demons supporters and they share my passion so it means a lot to me that the Casey Demons are successful.

Hi Dane, Trident and others,

I will be eager to tell you all about the breakfast and I will definitely let you know when we're holding functions. We sent out 650 flyers to Casey Demon supporters today so I am sure that we'll pack the Settlement Hotel!

I will be a certainty Lisa1958. I will be in touch!!

Thanks HT. I am excited and nervous at the same time. We have great representation from the local press attending so we should get plenty of publicity. Let's hope it's all good!

Hi Lisa

Attended the launch this morning and it was fabulous. Well done - I think this is the start of a really proactive and vibrant group. Well done!
