History
The club was established in 1903 under the name of it was known as the Spring Vale Football Club, and, from 1915, it played at the site that became its home stadium that is that of the Spring Vale Recreation Reserve at Newcomen Road, Spring Vale. Following its initial participation in the Mulgrave Football Association, the club was a member of to the Berwick District Football Association in 1911. It was a member up to it was a part of the Second World War; in its time with the BDFA the club was awarded seven first-place finishes. Following World War II, the club changed to the more metropolitan-oriented Caulfield Oakleigh District League. After winning the premiership in 1956 and the team shifted into the Federal Football League the most prestigious suburban league that is located in the suburbs to the south of Melbourne. The club became a major force in the Federal League, and in its 25-year tenure during the period 1957-81 the club was awarded seven premierships, with four consecutively between 1960-1963. It also missed the finals only two times. In all, the club took home fifteen premierships for seniors at the suburban levels.
Because of the strength of Springvale as a team and its strength as a team, it was considered an ideal candidate to be a member of to the Victorian Football Association which is the second highest level of football at the senior level in Melbourne. The club was offered membership into the VFA in 1961 following winning its debut Federal League premiership, but it declined the invitation, hoping to strengthen its position within that Federal League, and worried that the close proximity to Oakleigh as well as Dandenong might hinder the club’s ability to compete. The club was able to apply to be admitted as a VFA admission in the year 1978 however the VFA did not intend to expand at the at the time. In the course in the expansion as well as restructuring during 1983, Springvale was admitted
to Division 2. Springvale took home its Division 2 premiership in its second year of 1983. It was then elevated into Division 1 in 1984. Then, in the following year, it was able to avoid relegation for the next three seasons.
In December of 1986, Springvale was earmarked for exclusion in the controversial Association’s Football Organisation Review Team (FORT) recommendations that sought to rationalize the Association to create a stronger 12-club competition within one division, but they were never officially adopted because they were rejected by clubs. A year later after acquiring Phil Maylin along with the other three former League players for the pre-season, Springvale proved that the FORT was wrong by making it up to the semi-finals, for the first time, and taking home in 1987 the Division 1 premiership. Springvale was one of just two review’s clubs not to be able to remain as a member of the VFA beyond 1991, the other one being Werribee. Springvale had a huge impact on the VFA/VFL during the latter part of 1990, winning four premierships in the span of five years including 1995 1996, 1998, and 1999.
The time when the VFA/VFL became aligned to the TAC Cup, Springvale was initially affiliated with the nearby Oakleigh Chargers, and the affiliation lasted until the year 1998. In 1999, Springvale has been affiliated with the Gippsland Power.

In 2000 the club was being hindered by the Newcomen Road ground. In addition to the deteriorating conditions of the facility and the area around Springvale had earned a negative reputation as a hotspot for drugs that was keeping players from going to. They continued to play and train in some of its matches in Newcomen Road, but played all home games in a nomadic manner at several south-eastern suburban venues over the following years. The first was playing at Waverley Park in 2000 and after that between 2001 and 2002, at venues like Moorabbin Oval and Shepley Oval. The club was back almost entirely at Newcomen Road from 2003 until the year 2005.
In 2005, as a way to secure its financial prospects, Casey signed to an agreement to work with City of Casey, which was developing the brand-new Casey Fields multi-sports complex in Cranbourne East and was in search of an VFL squad to compete at the complex. The club relocated its base of training and play into Casey Fields at the end of 2006 and then it changed the name of its club to Casey Scorpions football Club. The move also made the club closer with its Gippsland power affiliate.
In 2000, when the VFL together with the AFL Reserves were merged in 2000 Springvale continued to operate as a stand-alone team for a season, before gaining reserve memberships in the Australian Football League clubs. From 2001 to 2008 the club was associated with that of St Kilda Football Club. Since 2009, the club has been associated with Melbourne Football Club that also operates its training facilities in Casey Fields. In December of 2016 the club changed its name to as the Casey Demons Football Club to consolidate its relationship with Melbourne and is called the Demons. The club will follow Melbourne’s traditional guernsey style in 2017, while keeping the red and navy blue colors that both teams use.
