Could Ryan Willits (delisted today by Port Adelaide) be our Pre-Season Draft Pick?

Inside word is Willits was in a little trouble, club made a decision.

That said, obviously DB being ex Port might like the feel of a familiar face.

He would also fit into our criteria, under 27, KPP and he can take a mark ...

Thoughts?

    Big, strong powerful muscular forward who can take big marks and play forward!

    Where do I sign?

    I knew this kid when he was wearing nappies

    Hard to imagine that he has turned into such a massive human being

    I seem to remember him playing a few games for Port at centre half back and looking quite good in the process

    I thought you weren’t allowed around young children.

    i think its an under 23 criteria, but he fits that anyway...

    The point being is that if he's no good then he's not worth a punt as some are suggesting here (but that should be obvious too!)

    If a club is in desperate need of a specific type of player, and then delists that exact type of player from their list, then there is a strong chance that they are no good.

    Port Adelaide are crying out for key forwards to replace tredrea and help Ebert, so considering Willits got delisted, thats not a good sign for him.

    Similar arguments could be made for Ryan Ferguson and Guy Richards. If they get delisted from teams that desperately need key backs and ruckman respectively, then they are clearly not worth picking up.

    anyways, we can be 100% sure that Dean Bailey knows all about this kid, so if we dont take him there must be a reason- and if we do take him, there must be a reason for that too.

    Port delisted Stephan Gilham and now he is a permanent member of the Hawks starting 18.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
