CASEY: RD 18 vs Sandringham

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Posted

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.

    The Sautner Newton Cup

    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.

    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

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
