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

That he was a kid who didn't have the maturity to cope with the rigours of AFL football at the time. Or he's a spud.

It'll be one of those two, but I'd like to think that since he's only been on the list for an hour, we'll give him some benefit of the doubt initially...

Played in the same premiership side there as Jace Bode, so his quality of teammate will improve somewhat. Also in the squad was our old favorite Juice Newton.

Looking at the pictures from the SANFL grand Final he may have even been playing on Ryan Ferguson at one stage in the game: Dean Terlich

Congratulations & welcome Dean Terlich! His selection is a rational "moneyball" decision at pick 68. As a Norwood supporter, I have followed Dean this year. Nathan Bassett switched this former forward with kicking skills to the half-back line & he blossomed. Clearly BOG in the Grand Final. He's almost 23yo and his application at Norwood FC shows that he's turned his football career around after a brief stint on Sydney's list. Another product of the Nathan Bassett-player development line, who may serve MFC as well as Puopolo & Duigan have served Hawthorn & Carlton, respectively.

The Norwood connection continues remembering that Rodan played for Norwood in the SANFL. The South Australian influence at MFC also is increasing: Viney, Craig, Toumpas, Viney, Trengove, Tapscott (3 ex-PAC students), Jamar & Sellar (& Rivers until recently). And Stretch is coming in a couple of years to play in our premiership side in his first year. My only other suggestion tears my loyalties between Norwood & MFC. Get Nathan Bassett as an assistant! God knows why no AFL club got him in this off-season. Great development coach who had Norwood playing one of the most-disciplined game plans in the country (more structured than some AFL teams). After all, he started at MFC in the first place!

Hi melbourne supporters I'm a tiger supporter from Dean's local area. I have umpired school footy in this area for over 10 years. In that time I have never seen a better dual sided kick in a schoolby footballer. I am disapointed he never made it to the Tigers but I am glad he made it to the AFL and Melbourne will find it has picked up a gem with its late pick. For those interested in stats he does the 20mt sprint in 2.88 secs, he can run 2kms in sub 7 mins, his vertical leap is 64cm and despite his athletic abilities is more of a natural footballer. I hope for his sake he has a great career with Melbourne.

I'm bullish about this guy's prospects. I'd already have him ahead of Bail purely from what I've seen in those clips.

Thanks all above for filling us in - certainly sounds like an exciting prospect, and little to lose from our point of view.

You'd think he'd compete with Strauss, Dunn, Nicholson, Watts, Joel Macdonald and maybe even Toumpas in his first year or two for a spot on a half back flank/back pocket. Should be an interesting positional battle. There's room for at least 3 of those guys along with 2 talls (like Frawley and McDonald) plus a 3rd tall type which could be Garland or Watts/Dunn/Macdonald/Gillies/Sellar.

It will be an interesting battle that defensive mix. There's very few established AFL players but a lot of talent in different combinations.

You'd reckon that if the Swans took him a 17, there was something special about him.

If he's now developed the hunger he didn't have then - he must be a chance. At 68 - looks like a very smart pick

He was pick 61 in the 2007 rookie draft.

Not sure that makes him special at all.

All the best to him though, and I think he'll become a valuable contributor.

    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
