An interesting name on the list is Wardell Lual, a 26-year-old 191cm defender from Werribee who was listed with Casey at one point last year but returned to Werribee. He played in the Tigers’ 2023 Grand Final side but I didn’t follow them much in 2024. Anyway, he’s back now and joins former teammates Aidan Johnson and Jack Henderson as a Demon in 2025.

SFNL: How Cheltenham landed Tassie young gun Max Roney by Mitch Burke 

A "funny" connection played a key role in an exciting prospect from Tasmania landing at Southern league club Cheltenham when he moves to the mainland later this year.

A local cricket club played a key role in an exciting prospect from Tasmania landing at Cheltenham when he moves to the mainland later this year.

18-year-old Max Roney has been included on Casey's VFL development list for the upcoming season, and reigning Southern league champions Cheltenham have secured his services as the teen's local club.

Roney played 12 games for Tasmania in the Coates Talent League last season and was named among the best players in seven of those clashes. He also played 11 senior TSL games for North Launceston over the past two seasons and nominated for last year's AFL draft, but wasn't picked up.

Roney is still based in Tasmania, but is expected to move to Melbourne in May.

"I haven't had a lot to do with him to be honest ... (but) he sounds like he's a pretty damn good athlete and can play footy as well," Cheltenham coach Justin Pickering said.

"I'm not sure what Casey's plans are with him but if he needs to play a few games with us before he plays with Casey that will be a bonus."

It was a connection through South East Cricket Association club East Sandringham that led to Cheltenham securing Roney.

"It's good how there's a few connections, I know (Roney's) uncle through the cricket club actually and he stayed with him while he was over in Melbourne, we got connected that way," Pickering said.

"It's a funny connection but it's worked out pretty well. Max didn't know a lot about the Melbourne football scene so it will be good to get him down if we get a chance."

Fellow Casey Demon Riley Bonner is also affiliated with Cheltenham this season and played in the club's match simulation on Wednesday night.

"He'll obviously get to know Max and at least there'll be some sort of connection there as well," Pickering added.

Riet Pal, who spent time on Collingwood's VEL list, has also been training with Cheltenham but is yet to commit to a club.

Absolutely weird.

Quarter Time - Practice Match
Casey Demons 5.0.30 v Coburg 3.2.20

Charlie Spargo has 2 goals.

Which MFC listed players are playing KC? If you don’t mind me asking!

No mention of the Casey V Coburg practice match 16 March 2025 at 10 am. Perhaps our reserves ain't worth anybodies time !!!!!!


7 minutes ago, KC from Casey said:

3QT Casey Demons 7.9.51 lead Coburg 6.6.42.

2.9 since qtr time isn't super


Whether weather, trialing the new game plan plays, synchronicity amongst the new playing group or emergencies held over had an impact? 
 

It’s just a practice match.

Right?

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
