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.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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.
