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?

    Some on here might not be too thrilled with this decision, but i for one am very happy we have decided to stick with Casey.

    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.

    I think we should have always been aligned with Port Melbourne. Same song same colours and not half way to Gippsland where most of our supporters can't or wont get to.

    Did we take over casey anyway.  I thought about 2 years ago we took the over, still run seperate but essentially is our 2nds side with top ups and our coaches same as other all clubs we just kept the casey name

    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!

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
