If you're wondering what happens to some ex-Demon players when they finish up at the club, then look no further than Sunday's SANFL v VFL interstate representative game.

Playing for the SANFL team are four former Demons - Alexis Georgiou, Mitch Clisby, Jordie McKenzie and Aidan Riley.

The Victorian team will have only one Casey Scorpions player - Tim Smith who will line up at CHF. Currently listed AFL players are not eligible.

Despite the fact that Channel 7 has the rights to VFL matches, the state game will not be televised. It will however, be screened live on the VFL website.

Riley, not Reilly!

    Wow! These players were on our list........shudder.

    They achieved a lot more than most be at least being on a list and playing a few games. That makes them very good footballers in my book but not everyone can make the grade. But it does not mean you have to shudder.

    I agree with hemingway. 

    Jordie Mckenzie was very serviceable for Melbourne. Why you would shudder because he was on our list is astonishing. Adelaide were prepared to snare him from us.

    Ernest - there are  always people who just don't respect the achievements of others  unless those achievements are outstanding.  As you imply, even reaching an AFL list is a bloody good achievement that the vast majority of humanity fail to achieve.  

    Sure these players were not world beaters and may not have achieved what they themselves would have hoped or expected, but they did wear the great red n blue 

    Good luck to them.

    Agree all you like....VFL standard at best.

    We've seen the future.

    'Serviceable' is no longer the norm.

    Big congratulations to Tim Smith, had a fantastic season to date. One who frustrates me when watching the Scorps, while I'm trying to figure out who is playing so well I catch glimpse of his number and realise he isn't a Demon ?

    Jace Bode must have been too busy to play........

    You remind of supporters from other clubs that have sustained success and forget where you came from and adopt an arrogant hard core attitude. You lack respect and it reflects on you.

    You have to remember there are some on here who NEED  to denigrate from behind the safety of their leyboards  agree it reflects on them

    Strange that Channel 7 has the tv rights to the VFL games but won't telecast what you would think should be one of the jewels in the crown for the competition being the representative match.

    Come to think of it, we're a long way down the track in the season and yet they haven't had the Casey Scorpions on once.

    Do they have an aversion to screening the top side in the competition?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
