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.

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

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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
