The Bungaree Football & Netball Club is an Australian rules football and netball club from Bungaree, Victoria which competes in the Central Highlands Football League.
History The Demons are one of the founding members of the CHFL and play their home games at the Bungaree Recreation Reserve which underwent a full redevelopment in 2012, with the changeroom facility being named the Danny Frawley Pavilion.
Between 1951 and 1959, Bungaree played in nine consecutive Clunes District Football League senior football grand final, winning four of those premiership matches.
Bungaree emerged from a lean decade in the 2000s to play four preliminary finals in a row from 2012–15, culminating in their first premiership in 23 years in 2014 with a 9-goal thrashing of arch rivals Springbank. The Reserves were also able to break their 34-year drought with a comprehensive win over Waubra FC.
Bungaree is most widely recognised through their best export, former St Kilda captain, Victorian representative, the late Danny Frawley.
