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: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
