    Plenty of the developing youngsters have moved on. Frankston Dolphins to benefit from Development league demise. Hillard, Lovett, Ferreira & Zijai all at the Dolphins.

    If they're relying on development league players to build their list 'norm' then the resurrection will be short lived.

    Hardly a benefit...

    First and foremost as a Demon I support the Casey Demons as it stands now.

    As an Australian Rules follower of some 66 years I support the game foremost

    As a result of the Frankston Dolphins online appeal for memberships to support their 2018 readmission to the 2018 VFL I joined.

    An outlay if I recall of about $70 , which I considered to be in a really good cause.

    I,m wrapped that they're in for 2018 as a traditional VFL club and that the support they've received from 2 legendary Hawks

    Long live what remains of the VFL and a POX on the AFL

    Will Stephenson from the 2017 Gippsland Power team is onboard at Casey for VFL 2018.  Young midfielder/small forward.  I was told he was disappointed not to get a rookie spot but excited to get a chance at Casey.  

    Fantastic compact forward/onballer. Great pace, excellent kick for goal and from the same nursery as Josh Dunkley. Is a fierce tackler and goes at it very hard. Could surprise quite a few good judges. Has played some senior footy since he was only 15. A favourite son of the Sale F C.  Level headed but a hard nut and will go very well. One to watch.

    We are extremely fortunate to have access to an suburban oval 12 months a year.  To get 3 home practice matches because the 3 teams we play have cricket pitches is a real advantage for Casey, bit extra cash through bar/Canteen and gate takings also helps.

    It is strange that he would be picked in the leadership group.

    The list is of confirmed changes. No doubt, there will be others once contracts/clearances are sorted out.

    CASEY DEMONS

    In: Riley D’Arcy (Dandenong Stingrays) Colin Garland (Melbourne) Jay Lockhart (North Launceston) Kyle Stainthorpe (Eastern Ranges) Mitch White (Melbourne)

    Out: Kieren Byers Will Collis Mitch Cox Aloysio Ferreira (Frankston) Bayley Fritsch (Melbourne) Jake Gains Nathan Gardiner (Frankston) Ben Giobbi Brenton Hillard (Frankston) Jake Lovett (Frankston) Todd Vander Haar Yilber Zijai (Frankston)

    Inevitable that a number of players would fly off elsewhere now that the Development League has disbanded and good luck to those who have headed to Frankston with the aim of rejuvenating a neighbourhood rival. I miss Aloysio and Yilber in particular - little blokes who always added a bit of excitement when they played in the firsts. With only one team representing Casey it was always going to be hard fitting players in to the system. 

    I think Casey should have another good year. The team did really well to finish in the top four last year after so many injuries and it’s been a feather in the cap to produce 4 draftees (3 to the MFC) over the past two seasons. The major “out” on the list is, of course, Bayley Fritsch who will still be available unless he makes AFL selection. Having Colin Garland and Mitch White on board (and most likely Corey Wagner) gives the club a strong VFL list and if we can stay in reasonable shape with injuries we will be a likely challenger again.

    Possibly the player not listed above whose loss will be felt by Casey is their 2017 B&F, Jack Trengove! There are other contributing former Melbourne players such as Kennedy, Spencer and Hulett (with a few cameos from Watts)!

    In the noise of Jack W leaving one almost forgets about Jack T.

    Will be interesting to see how he goes at Port. Strange selection by Port but wish him all the best.

    Two new names at the Casey Demons -

    • Ali Zijai (18, 172cm, 67kg) from the Dandenong Stingrays via Noble Park/Hallam SC (and brother of Yilber who has crossed to Frankston), and 

    • Jack Hudson (18, 180cm, 80kg) from Gippsland Power via Hillend.

    Both players are forwards.

    • 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?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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.
