The 2017 VFL season upon us with Casey's first game happening at the end of the opening split round on Easter Monday against Williamstown at scenic Burbank Oval. 

The VFL website has the Casey Demons season preview which sets out the various changes supporters will see during the season. 

With the transition from the Scorpions to Demons there will be more changes on the cosmetic side with the new jumpers to be unveiled in Monday's game. If you're a Demon through and through you should be pleased. 

The club has also announced its 2017 leadership group:-

Jack Hutchins (C), Ed Morris (VC), James Munro (VC), Angus Scott (VC), Tom Baker, Jordan Moncrieff, Aloysio Ferreira.

The large injury toll among the Demons' AFL list will put pressure on the club in the opening rounds and there will be plenty of new faces for fans to see.

I will bring the team selections as soon as they are available on Thursday nights.

Due to a change in work schedule I may not be able to provide match reports on a weekly basis so we are on the lookout for Casey regulars to help out either with reports or information on which the Demonland Casey reports can be based. Please PM if you can assist.

    How can you select decent back up players when the VFL comp starts at rd 4 of the AFL. To top it off their is a bye coming up due to an interstate match. The development league is worst,fancy having byes when there are an even amount of teams,who does that.? (ironless stein ! ) . The people running the WAFL must be gifted with a brain as their comp start weeks before the AFL.

    Interesting and valid point but when you take a moment to think about it very few of the world's top sports have a back up competition. No wonder the soccer players find it so hard to maintain form when they are not playing for the main team.

    Diamond_Jim, English and European sides play in excess of 32 games a year plus they are involved in many other matches i.e F.A cup and clubs do have u23,u20 sides running.There is always enough soccer for any team listed players. If Victorian based football sides want to be on a level playing field with their W.A counterparts then they have to start the season earlier. I wish that someone would explain to me why byes are needed in the Development League,I thought the AFL was going to change that.

    Hibberd back, excellent.

    Looking forward to seeing the progress of Dion Johnstone, think we have a real player on our hands there.

    Totally agree with Hibberd.

    With him in our back six we should be more potent. With a shortage of fit defenders, you would think that it will be easier to discern the pecking order come selection time.

    Hope he does well tomorrow and the Magoos have a win.

    Totally agree that the WAFL (does the SANFL too?) provides far better backing to their AFL clubs than does the VFL, at least as far as scheduling is concerned  

    Does the AFL have any financial involvement in VFL? WAFL? SANFL?

  • Quote

    Interested to see how Maynard and Philipovic go. Our rookie list is loaded with projects,  and it would be pleasing for another player to push for senior selection later in the year*

    *provided the club is in a position to elevate

    Go trenners, named in emergencies, so could be a chance next week if a good performance. 

    Om sure Angus will show his class also

  • Quote

    Jimmy Munro named in the leadership group but picked in the twos? Also shocked to see Dyl Collis miss out on a spot, both had great second halfs to last year. Any idea if these two have missed chunks of the pre season, or merely out of form?

  • Quote

    Some additional motivation for the MFC listed players after today

  • Quote

    Plenty to play for as they say.

    Hopefully Hibberd only needs the one VFL game. Looking forward to both Hunt and Hibberd running the lines off half back.

  • Quote

    Must say I am thinking of heading along

    Train to the old Willy station a nice meal of fish and chips on the Esplanade and then off to the game.

    Only light winds predicted so it should not be too bad off the bay.

    The other choice is Hawks v Cats at the G but I may need a change of scene after Saturday's game.

    Some practical questions:

    Numbers.... how do I find out the numbers of the players

    AFL (Melbourne Support).... I suppose I still have to pay and how much please

    Suggested viewing spots ie good wind breaks

    Thanks

    PS and any luncheon suggestions

    Being Monday and a Public holiday, I'm not sure what would be open after the game. The club has a restaurant, but I am not sure about after game meals. The Rifle Club hotel is right next to Nth Willy station two stops up from the ground, you can definitely get food, - can't vouch for the quality.

    The best viewing is from the Grandstand, shouldn't have trouble finding a seat.

    Hey Diamond Jim would be great if you could maybe do bit of a game day update for all of us?

    Would be highly appreciative mate.

    I wanted to ask the same question, according to a google search it's $10 for adults and $5 for visiting VFL club members.

    Player numbers are in the VFL Record.

    They are also next to the players' names in the team selections in the opening post of this thread.

    Is there anywhere where we can listen to the game live or watch it??

    Even though he is named in the VFL squad, I believe Dion Johnstone is playing in the development league due to some pretty poor form over the practice matches leading into the season

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
