There’s a fair bit of history about Sunday morning’s VFL match at Casey Fields between the Casey Demons and Sandringham which marks the end of the latter’s affiliation with St. Kilda.

The two VFL clubs traded their AFL affiliates in 2009 when the Melbourne Demons took on a partnership with the then Casey Scorpions (formerly Springvale) after a successful decade with Sandringham which resulted in premierships in in 2000, 2004, 2005 and 2006. At the same time, the Saints entered into a partnership with the VFA Zebras at the Trevor Barker Beach Oval.

From the 2017 season onwards, the Casey club became known as the “Demons” and they celebrated a premiership flag in 2022.

Meanwhile, the Saints’ have announced that they will be going alone next year with their own independent reserves team and Sandringham will continue in its own right in 2026 so that this week’s game is really the end of an era.

The Demons will be hoping that the game represents something a little more than that as victory over the lowly Zebras will strengthen their claim for a finals berth.

May the Juices flow

PS: I wonder if the Saints had similar problems to those which we had with Sandringham. Suspect that it is a different era but another alignment comes to an end. Are we the only aligned VFL club left? Can't think of another off the top of my head

Thanks KC 1998-2006 was a very successful time for the MFC without getting the chocolates, four grannies for our affiliate club in Sandy gave us something to smile about. We thought we may have a chance for a double up in 2000 but Bummers ruined those thoughts in brutal fashion.

Willem Duursma is one of the top draft prospects for 2025 and one of the family of two other AFL players and an AFLW player and also the son of a former Demon reserves player, Dean Duursma. His uncle Jamie Duursma did play some senior football with Melbourne. He’s playing for Casey because he comes from the local Gippsland region but Melbourne is unlikely to get him unless it pulls off some monster trades.

Kalani White, on the other hand …

 

Our midfield should annihilate theirs.

We have the bye yet again next week so we should see some desperate players wanting to put their hand up for senior selection.

Pity that Kirkwood-Scott has been omitted. He seems to play well when he gets the chance.

@Whispering_Jack agree with Mitch Kirkwood-Scott. Small defender. Excellent kick and makes good decisions which would transfer to AFL requirements. He played 4 games earlier in the year and impressed before injured. Just returned and played his role. Like to see him again before season end.

Among the best of the VFL listed young players for Casey last week. Kicked a goal drifting forward from defence. Go Bloods!


We look terrible to start the quarter, no senior key talls in the backline and it's showing.

Seems Jai is the carryover player for today

i can't get over how weak in the marking contest el jefe is; he's not afraid of the physical contest - see his tackling effort just then - but it's got to be a strength issue surely

he just can't hold his position

He's also allergic to chest marks as well, still lacking confidence and strength

 

How good did Kentfield look taking that mark?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
