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

    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!

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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:

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
