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?

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

How do you get that?

Ward was a tough nut who couldn't kick.

Lonie is a fairy who can kick.

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.

Bet they draft Vickery !

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.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
