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.

A dominant 108 point victory for the Demons.
