We remember: ADRIAN DELUCA

[legendtofski]

Tall, lanky and claimed by some to be a 'gun CHF in the making'...Mr. Deluca was tall, slow and couldn't hold a mark. Couldn't reach down to pick up the ball when it was on the ground, and in his final year was playing with gloves!!

Pagan loved this bloke, thought he was some sort of Cory McKernan type player. Remember what he did when we had him???

What is the purpose of this thread?

Put it in the other threads on ex-players that weren't good enough.

 

[Pamam]

It appears that we are running out of current players to demean so it is now time to move on to former players.

Deluca wore the Navy Blue. Something most, or all, of us could never hope to achieve. Well done Deluca, have a laugh at legendtofski.

We promptly forget: ADRIAN DELUCA

 

[The_JUDDERNAUT]

why did he quit anyways???

 

[Pamam]

why did he quit anyways???

he supposedly had business opportunities he wanted to progress further into which didn't allow him while at the Blues since it would take up most of his time!!!

He kicked five against us one game - goes to show how crap the Roos where that day!

Actually had some ability. But then the marks stopped sticking, and it got worse when the glove appeared. He seemed to lose interest in the game after a year or 2.

Dont think he ever kicked 5 against anyone. He kicked 3 in a quarter against North in one of those quarters that makes us all think we had a player.

a la Russell in q4 v Port.

Deluca was at KPMG and left to work in London.

What frustrated me with Deluca the most was that he was pretty soft for a big bloke, not unlike Josh Fraser.

 

[its just sporn mum]

2004, Blues were 27 points down to the filth 5 mins into the last qtr. Up step Davies and Deluca to play the qtrs of their lives and we win by 9 points. Great Day

While we're at it, lets remember Ian Prendergast

That was one of my best footballing matches i've been too

 

[celtic_pride]

Sorry no good memories of me for Deluca ..

Big soft-hearted DUD ...

I recall though when he was in his first season, Parrot was a big rap for the DAA-LUCAAAA, but soon fell off the bandwagon fast, like we all did ..

Not as bad as Cain Ackland, but rather close, in the Dylan Mclaren variety of dud ruckmen ..

That's right, my second thread was gonna be...

REMEMBERING DAVIES!

ROTFLMFAO!

I Remember the adventures of Karl 'Stormin' Norman and Lawrence 'Laurie' Angwin in Dopes about town

I reckon Karl Norman would've been a good player for the blues.. Just my opinion DON'T FLAME ME PEOPLES!!!

 

[celtic_pride]

Actually Laurie Angwin would have been unreal, if the bloke just wasn't so messed up with drugs and other off-field issues ..
Anyone remember that game he played against West Coast ... I feel damn sad seeing such an awesome talent go to waste ...

Funnily enough he actually played a ripper off the HBF that very same day. Think Davis kicked 4 for the Pies just for a change. There's more than a touch of Norman in Emu Bower I reckon. The long-armed, rangey way he goes about it is similar to KN's attacking style. Disgraceful waste.

 

[HBF]

Was there, was good.

Same.
Gotta love beating Collingwood in those kind of circumstances. Much like we beat them a couple of weeks ago. Great games those.

 

[Dustyjackman]

Poor old Deluca.

It would seem that Pagan had some issues with big blokes and just loved destroying them mentally. McKernan will tell you all about it.

Maybe some lanky six foot sixer used to pinch his (Pagans) lunch at school or something, so he harbored some sort of morbid hatred for them.
