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 . . .

Bet they draft Vickery !

what about NikNat-paddywhack?

He'd fit right in here

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

Won't need Whelan anymore <_<

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?

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

could be a handy pick up to play 2nd fiddle to PJ.

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

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.
