WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - DEAN TERLICH

[Whispering_Jack 30,159]

2012 premiership player from Norwood in the SANFL.

Dean Terlich

Norwood, SA

DOB: 13/12/1989 . Ht: 182cm Wt: 80kg.

Dean made the transition from a forward to a backman this year and played really well as a medium rebound defender. A great ball carrier who is very strong and takes them on and gets through traffic really well. He was formerly on Sydney's rookie list and he's a good chance to go - David Oatey, Norwood talent manager.

Dean Kent from Perth remains a Demon while Dean Terlich stays a Redleg!

Small crumbing forward.

Here's an interesting article on him from SA - Terlich caps stunning turnaround

A rebounding defender, previously on Swans list. Age 22.

Clearly wasnt too confident of being drafted by this: "I haven't heard a lot," Terlich said. "I'm happy where I am. Obviously I want to play AFL football but if nothing happens, nothing happens."

[El Gordo 13]

31 disposals in the SANFL Grand Final.

Strong body - good penetrating kick.

Excellent pick up

DEAN TERLICH

[Madness 44]

Loving the recruiting of the Deans!

[hardtack 10,537]

Bears a slight resemblance to a certain Jones lad pre hair removal... hope he shows the same endeavour.

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Loving the recruiting of the Deans!

Maybe we should ask Dean Bailey to come back if that's the case?

[Whispering_Jack 30,159]

So we have two players who played in the last two SANFL premierships.

Toumpas from Woodville-West Torrens of 2011 @ Terlich from Norwood of 2012.

At least there's a theme of getting players from winning cultures.

[DemonWA 3,934]

Might have gotten a good reference from Juice and Rodan?!

[Grimes is Great 183]

Rebounding defender

[Tex 68]

I like the sound of him. Pacey rebounding defender. Exactly what we need.

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

Megahead???

Nah I'm F***in ugly Kick my F**in head in you wouldn't know the diff. I fink.

[rpfc 28,433]

I think he may be a chance Rd 1.

Small defender with pace - direct replacement for Bartram.

Don't know whether he has the same endeavour and work ethic but the chance is there if he wants it.

The club should be desperate to keep Grimes in the guts...

Welcome aboard Megahead.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I like the look of his kicking action.

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Good hands, bit of pace, looks ok.

[Daz's Dee's 113]

Pace and marking look like his strong assets also a great chace down to stop a guy running in for goal. Nothing lost late in the draft ya just never know

[rpfc 28,433]

Ummm, that vision was pretty impressive.

I know they would only pick the best bits, but he has pace, skill, looks confident with the footy and can read the play.

I know I am calling this early but he is 22 and should he work his arse off the PS - he is a chance to play Rd 1.

[pringle 42]

The current premiers and best in the business at getting the most out of delisted players have delisted him... Does that mean anything?
