Just heard the power delisted Fabian Deluca. Now he's a young ruckman who has a bit of talent and could be a handy pick up to play 2nd fiddle to PJ. Also Nathan Lonie was delisted, grew up a Melbourne supporter! Only 25 and has plenty of run off half back, he to could possibl be a handy pick up. Any thoughts?

    That's being almightly generous.

    Fair enough call, but the sad fact of the matter is I'd rate him ahead of Jamar and Meesen.

    DeLuca was rated REALLY highly when he was at Ranges but he hasn't improved at all since.

    Power must really not want him considering how low their ruck stocks are. Hmm wonder who they've tucked away somewhere in bush league . . .

    Imagine if we recruit both Lonie and Houlihan what a tough backline we'll have then.

    If he barracked for Melbourne when he was young we should get him. Maybe we should see if he has a talented brother.

    Just joking.....PASS PASS

    he reminds me of Daniel Ward, but not quite as good..

    How do you get that?

    Ward was a tough nut who couldn't kick.

    Lonie is a fairy who can kick.

    both running backman maybe?

    yeah, i never saw ward as being that tough, or lonie as being the opposite.

    just... running half back nothing players. Never excited me, i always felt they were filling the spot til someone decent came along

    No... PJ will be, and maybe is already, the best and most flexible backup ruckman going round. As your starting ruckman though, plaing 4 quarters out of the middle, he'd get found out

    :D

    I think that's the most damning praise you can heap on a player.

    Could be right uncle joe. I think Port are in the market for a key tall. Either Vickery or NikNat depending on what Freo do.

    Nathan Lonie can be a very handy player. The operative word being can.

    Was the butt of all jokes on the Port forum on bigfooty which would suggest that he goes missing too often and is too soft.

    Goes missing too often? I thought his career had finished - he went missing that much.

    I have seen a lot of Fabian throught Sturt games in the SANFL and as a junior for Eastern IIRC.

    Believe me - his brother Adrian was a better ruckman and footballer.

    This guy is an absolute waste of space. Soft, slow, unskilled, no football brain. If you go anywhere near this dud - someone in the recruiting department is totally brain dead.

    (I hear he's doing pre-season with Richmond LOL - would be a perfect fit).

    Absolutely spot on.

    Jamar is bog ordinary and PJ is not good enough to usurp him. Its embarrassing.

    A bad case of overrating our C graders again.

    FWIW, Minson, Ottens/Blake (either), Fraser, Warnock are well in front.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
