The Eastlake Demons (formerly known as the Canberra Demons)[1] is a semi-professional Australian rules football club based in the inner-south of Canberra, in the Australian Capital Territory. The senior team competed in the North East Australian Football League (NEAFL) from the league's founding in 2011 until it was absorbed by the Victorian Football League (VFL) in 2021. Canberra declined to join the expanded VFL.
In January 2016, the league announced that Eastlake would rebrand and now be known as Canberra,[2] though the Eastlake name would live on in local competitions.
