The 2017 VFL season upon us with Casey's first game happening at the end of the opening split round on Easter Monday against Williamstown at scenic Burbank Oval.
The VFL website has the Casey Demons season preview which sets out the various changes supporters will see during the season.
With the transition from the Scorpions to Demons there will be more changes on the cosmetic side with the new jumpers to be unveiled in Monday's game. If you're a Demon through and through you should be pleased.
The club has also announced its 2017 leadership group:-
Jack Hutchins (C), Ed Morris (VC), James Munro (VC), Angus Scott (VC), Tom Baker, Jordan Moncrieff, Aloysio Ferreira.
The large injury toll among the Demons' AFL list will put pressure on the club in the opening rounds and there will be plenty of new faces for fans to see.
I will bring the team selections as soon as they are available on Thursday nights.
Due to a change in work schedule I may not be able to provide match reports on a weekly basis so we are on the lookout for Casey regulars to help out either with reports or information on which the Demonland Casey reports can be based. Please PM if you can assist.
