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.

Surely it must take first prize by a good distance.  
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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
