KC from Casey

Ollie Sestan expected to land at Port Melbourne in 2026.

According to the article:- Casey Demons have farewelled midfielder Riley Baldi to South Adelaide but are believed to be targeting Box Hill Hawks wingman Ethan Stanley and delisted Kangaroo Miller Bergman. Bergman, who played 16 AFL games for North Melbourne after being recruited from Dandenong Stingrays, has aligned himself with Berwick in local football. Stanley returned to Box Hill this after playing two AFL games with Fremantle. Meanwhile, the Sandringham Zebras have eyes on Casey's Jack Ferraro, who starred at local level with Dingley in the Southern league this year. Stanley is a 188 cm, 81 kg midfielder who was on the Dockers’ list in 2023 and 2024. Bergman is a 189 cm, 73 kg defender who was at North Melbourne from 2022–2025 and played 16 games during that period.

Paul Amy has reported on X that Casey's Riley Baldi is off to the SANFL. “That's a heavy blow for the Demons: he had a damn good comeback season for them. Played 20 matches, averaged 19.1 disposals, hunted collisions. He's a gun”.

This is the time of year when VFL clubs start preparing in earnest for the upcoming season. With the AFL Trade and Free Agency period now over, all VFL clubs will be seeking to improve their lists in preparation for the upcoming season and the Casey Demons are no different. Casey has recently announced the appointment of Rhett McLennan as the new VFL Senior Coach for the 2026 season, replacing Taylor Whitford, who has been elevated to Melbourne's Head of Development. McLennan brings 23 years of coaching experience to the role, having spent the past six seasons as coach of the Coates League team, Gippsland Power. This thread is the place for news about the Casey Demons in the offseason of 2025/6.

The Casey Demons held their Best & Fairest night yesterday evening and half-back Riley Bonner took home the Gardner Clark Medal. Runner up was the game changer Bailey Laurie. Third place getter was Mitch Hardie. VFL Rising Star went to Paddy Cross. Riley Baldi's dedication and energy make him a true club standout and winner of the trademark and values award.

Well done to Casey’s Riley Bonner on his runner up performance.

Interesting that Southport inflicted a second finals thrashing on Frankston in today’s VFL Preliminary Final with an 88 point win. The only outlier of the finals for the Dolphins was the Casey Demons game from last weekend when Casey lost their spark and inexplicably gave away nine unanswered goals in the second and third quarters.

A testament to Frankston’s accuracy for goal is that they went inside 50 on 45 occasions for their 16 goals. Casey had 15 more entries for their 13 goals … and sadly, that is in many ways the story of the two Demon outfits in 2025.

The siren sounds and it’s all over for the Casey Demons in 2025 after losing another close one through a lack of ability to convert near the goals.

Frankston goal and that looks like it

Laurie goals - back to 5 points

That goal to Frankston makes it hard … 95 - 84.
