Crack open a long-neck, for the long-necked great one

 

[XXX KINGS]

The greatest neck in the world

 

[juzza316]

His head/body proportion is of exact opposite to that of Brett Ebert.

Ebert: Massive head / smaller size body
Deluca: Pin head / Massive size body

Based on this Deluca 1, Ebert 0

LMAO

Softest big man I have ever seen. Good ridance.

Deluca > Kennedy by the length of the Flemington Straight

Voting is still open for idiotic, pointless thread of the year. Good luck.

I have a tear in my eye after that. Not sure if it is De Luca or the damn hormone therapy I volunteered for in order to earn extra christmas cash.

Not too mention, a great set of Butter fingers as well.

Too true. How he ever made it onto an AFL list is beyond me.

 

[Walshy_The_Goat]

Haha, poor fella!

I still remember how people had big wraps for him when he first started, where a countless number of people defended him time and again.

Here is another song which may be an appropriate ode to the big Deluca!

Clearly you are too immature to post in this thread.

Can you explain the point of it? What's clever about kicking a past-tense loser like Deluca? Try to look forward mate, lots more relevance.

 

[Blueinblood]

agreed

Because I am bored?

 

[Kooley]

now that we lost josh deluca would be quite handy drifting across half forward.

That "loser" is almost certainly earning more than both of us put together.

I think Archie was better than he showed. Those hands weren't made of iron in 2004, he was quick, good below his knees and a very good kick for goal. Couldn't ruck to save his life of course, and I doubt he ever would - but what can you expect from a pick 72?

After his first year he looked like he had more important things to think about than a career in football, and in the end he was probably right. Before you bag fringe ex-players remember that our president was once one himself.

if he had have stayed we probably wouldn't have gone after Ackland.

This is a post I agree with. I liked Deluca.

 

[blue gunslinger]

Why bag Deluca so much?I was disappointed he pulled the pin like any one.But I always thought as with many of the current list, that he had potential and we all know big men take longer to come on. There has been many players who have never become champions.

 

[thylacine60]

Watch that logic fella.

 

[kreuzer-to-judd]

This thread is depressing. Makes me realize how bad Carlton has actually been.

 

[Harry Madden]

Yeh - who knows why we got rid of him??? Bigger blokes take time to develop -- shouldve waited till he was 50-60...
He always reminded me of a dying horse when he played

 

[Blueinblood]

we didnt get rid of him....he retired so he could pursue other careers
