MELBOURNE is pleased to announce a new partner, with Torrens University joining the club for at least the next three years.

A private higher-education provider, Torrens University will be the Official Education Partner of the Demons and will provide tertiary education opportunities for their AFL and AFLW players, coaches, staff and members.

The partnership will also see students connect with the club, in-line with Torrens University’s integrated learning approach, and look to offer professional industry placement in students’ chosen fields.

    George de Crespigny has been brilliant for us in Commercial. Another astute pick up from S.A.

    Good to see another sponsorship on board, well done MFC.

    The only thing missing now and has been for a number of years is consistently winning.

    Up to you now boys.

    Very handy partnership.

    Oddly enough, I know a bit about Torrens because quite recently they acquired the specialist university (Blue Mountains International Hotel School) that my wife did her Masters' Degree at.

    Couple of things of interest;

    * They are actively expanding through acquisitions of highly rated specialist providers (such as BMIHS mentioned above) with the goal of having a top status as an industry and professional oriented tertiary educator.

    * Many of their partners within the 'Torrens family' have very large international student proportions based on the somewhat lower fee bracket for industry-targeted degrees compared to, for example, Melbourne Uni or Sydney Uni prestige degrees.

    We may actually just have set up a partnership with a potential big expander once international student numbers begin to grow again post vaccine (touch wood) because they had the deep pockets to survive the crisis while a lot of the actually crappy providers (Jim and Denise's Australian Hospitality Degrees Ltd.) have packed it in.

    Knew about it because when they took over BMIHMS (BIHIMSBHIMSBMSHIBH? That lot - where my wife had been studying) we did some digging to figure out who they were and to make sure her degree hadn't suddenly become worthless.

    I've been doing my best to refrain from posting but there's a clear connect-the-dots being missed here. As many may recall, Alex Neal-Bullen was one of three AFL/AFLW players recently awarded a full scholarship. It was from Torrens University, as part of their partnership with the AFLPA. A nice pick-up in alignment terms.

    As long as Demetriou is not involved with Torrens then it’s another big win for the club! Well done team.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
