KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

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.

    Local Leader Newspaper article about a new Casey Demon.

    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.

    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?

    correct

    with 10 on the injured / suspended list, it's hardly a surprise

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
