Bentleigh Demons



During its time in the Eastern Suburban (Protestant) Churches Football Association Bentleigh underwent more emblem changes than it won grand finals. Initially nicknamed the Terriers, it was later known as the Bulldogs, and then the Dragons. In 1995 it underwent another nickname change when it adopted a similar playing uniform to AFL club Melbourne and, with sad predictability, became known as the Demons.
