Sounds like a bloke we're keeping an eye on. Don't know much about him personally, but an athletic and agile backman/utility with a "prodigious kick" sounds great to me.

"EMERGING Noble Park defender Ariel “Dell’’ Lual has signed at VFL club Casey Demons. With half forward Cory Machaya out with a knee injury and on the long-term injured list, the Demons have placed the tall 20-year-old on their books ahead of the June 30 clearance cut-off."

"The Sudanese-born Lual spent time at Norwood in the SANFL. Media reports suggest Port Adelaide had assessed him as a potential Category B recruit. Melbourne Next Generation Academy staff put his name up to the Casey Demons before the start of the season. But with the Demons’ list almost finalised they passed on Lual’s details to Noble Park, which was looking for a key defender to replace Ryan Morrison."

    Don't know exact specs other than he's apparently a "tall utility" type.

    It was an impressive debut from the young Sudanese player who will no doubt quickly become a fan favourite with the Casey crowd. He started slowly but was involved in some very good pieces of play and he looks as if he could take a number of positions on the ground. He had 11 touches yesterday and will improve when he becomes more familiar with the team’s game style.

    This guy might be alright but LEFAU is the real chance. Saw him a month or so ago and was very impressed! Reminded me of a young Michael O Loughlin the way he moves. Would love to see him on the list next year!

    Any updates on this guy?

    Is he a genuine prospect?

    You're pushing it a bit here 'picket'...

    O'Loughlin was a sublime, natural footballer who knew where to find the ball, Lefua is raw prospect who still struggles to find it.

    Lefua has some great athletic attributes but I'm not sure he will be anything more than a VFL level player.

    Have watched Lefua on and off for the last few years since he joined Casey as the 23rd man. There has certainly been improvement but I have never seen him take a game apart. He does have an ability to find the goals.

    My feeling is that he would have been a very useful player in the days when the game was played with a little more space. 

    These days not quite sure

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
