Melbourne will retain its affiliation with VFL club Casey as AFL braces for talent overhaul

Following decisions from Carlton and Hawthorn on their VFL alignments, Melbourne has also made a call on its future with Casey. The decision comes as big changes are on the horizon for the second tier competition.

Suddenly from being behind re no dedicated melbourne vfl team we're back in front on that score.

On similar matters, as football depts shrink will AAMI actually work out ok for us now....OR given everything is being reduced everywhere could we get back to training on the mcg? OR is thinking about the future in any way right an utter waste of time?

Good points Wells. Should the rugby or soccer clubs based at AAMI not be in existence next year (fingers crossed for MFC?) we may just find our home base out of this adversity.

Wasn't one of the issues with AAMI the "high cost" for the level of access/facilities/size of the the facilities we get access to?

Here is hoping rugby (union) stays, but I'm doubtful rugby will be a game that exists in Aust in the coming years.

Rugby was in a bit of strife before this. AFL, NRL, other big comps will survive (in what form TBD), but a national comp with no FTA and declining junior participation is in heaps.

I think the Rebels are doomed, Aus Rugby was a mess before Corona, no chance it survives after.

Think the Dees will be the big winners after all this subsides.

In Pert we trust. Imagine if we announce a new base and there are no tenants at AAMI...

Happy we are aligning with Casey, it has been beneficial for us. 

For a home base, we'll see what happens.  The situation has changed for everyone, at least in the short term.  

As for other sports, the AFL is in the most secure position of all the national football codes.  The other codes were already struggling and don't have the future financial ability to gain lines of credit to tide it over.

sorry ...what is the development

Didn’t you get Pert’s latest email?! Announced our new training and admin base is at Casey!!!! They couldn’t get what they wanted in the MCG area so had to bite the bullet and move the club to Casey. Potential for home games at Casey as well.

Looks to be located near my favourite grass verge. Great place to sit and watch the game around the 50 metre mark. The outer wing is a bit of a dogs breakfast with rather soulless concrete terraces but if they leave the gate open over there it is a pleasant walk through the wetlands at halftime.

With the Blues and Hawks dropping their alliances I cannot see the VFL being played this year. NRL has axed its womens comps (they only had four teams.)

Will it help with some of those shocking winds that come through when kicking for goal?

Just saw your 4 April post, Disciple, sorry.

No, Patto. Also an OK place to surf, for mine, though many factors limit me to the 'bodying' type! I'm impressed that you(?) surf at Liptrap!

    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?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Jack Viney & Alex Neal-Bullen, make up the Top 5. Your votes for the win against the Eagles. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    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
