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.

WEDNESDAY 8 JULY, 7 AM – 9 AM

SETTLEMENT HOTEL, CRANBOURNE

CNR SOUTH GIPPSLAND HWY & CAMMS RD

Join our President, Jim Stynes, to launch the Casey Demons supporter group in Cranbourne.

With the ink still drying on the Melbourne Football Club's new 30-year agreement with the City of Casey, our supporters in the region will have many opportunities to become closely involved with the Club.

Other speakers include GM Football, Chris Connolly, and Community Manager, Debbie Lee. All will provide an invaluable insight into our club's commitment to the Casey community.

PRICE: $50 per head, $450 for a table of 10

FOOD: Full breakfast included

BOOKINGS: Contact Lisa Schreurs

PHONE: (03) 5998 5228 or 0408 539 886

EMAIL: [email protected]

Please somebody say something! :unsure:

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!

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!

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. :lol:

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.

Well done Lisa & the Casey Demons, sounds great. I'm rapt with the good work thats going on Casey way. cheers.

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. :lol: 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. :rolleyes: 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.

Love to be there Lisa, unfortunately will be working. Please keep us posted on events so the diary can be kept clear :)

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!

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! :lol:

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
