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.

Disappointing day out for the team formerly known as the Scorpions today. This year was always going to see a vastly different looking Casey side, having lost the experience and nous of Dunn, Gri

NEVER KC! What you do for us is great mate.

Right now he is a better option than Weideman, he is the type of player that straightens a team up.

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?

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

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?

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.

If your a Melbourne member how much do you have to pay to get in today?

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

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
