View Full Version : SANFL Mini-Draft
Norwood- Meesen:
South - Van Berlo
Glenelg - Willits
Port - Maric
West - Ezard
North - Nye
Sturt - DeLuca
Eagles - Knights
Central - Griffith
Anyone have any info on this Deluca fella. I know he is a ruckman, but would he be ready to play SANFL league footy. Also, who is the pick of this bunch?

Fabian is around 201-202cm tall, is a good size (though he does need to put on a fair bit of weight).
He has pretty good skills and can take a good mark, especially in pack situation. In some games this year in the TAC he played very well, with his work around the ground being a highlight in most instances.
To me he seems quite lumbering - he's not always with the action. He also needs to kick more goals when he drifts down into the forward line.
His consistency this year was pretty good - he played a shocker in the TAC Grand Final, but in some games he played blinders, which was pleasing to see.
He definitely needs to improve but he should be able to make it in Sturt's seniors. If he doesn't blame it on Ivan Maric. ;)

As mentioned before me.
Brother of Adrian. Looks the goods but is really skinny (17 yo who are 200 cm normally are).
VERY happy to have him on board the DBlues!

203cm and 97kg at 17. He's going to be one big unit.

Im happy with Maric. With Ackland in Victoria and Parry looking like leaving then we need a ruckman who can go forward.

I'm stoked with Meesen at the Legs. He should step straight into our league side especially now Calabrese has left.
Griffen at the Dogs is an interesting one. I dare say he'd be struggling to make their ressies side.
Willits looks like he's a tad on the larger side of life, but is he another ruckman or KPP?? cause he could be very handy next year if he can play down back, we might need another big body down there, if so im happy with pickin him up ahead of a few others i thought we would have wanted ahead of him.

Willits is more of a KPP than a ruck. Played in the TAC cup at Full Forward and played some games at CHB as well
Cheers Macca19, thanks for the info, looks like a good decision to pick him up then.
