There was Ralph Lane who gained a bit of fame coming from the Peninsula and playing in a Melbourne GF. About Coleman's time

Ralph came from Frankston which in those days was in the Mornington Peninsula League so it could be him. Would have struggled against Coleman because Ralph was a winger.

CORRECT! Well done Stingrays. Ralph Lane played 72 games including being in the 1956 Premiership team. Lane was a winger but in the Mornington Peninsula competition he had to play at centre half back for Frankston to try and combat the champion Hastings centre half forward. He was also a top pro runner. Nearly as fast as Bluey Adams. Over and out for me.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
