DeLuca, resigning?

Persistent talk over at BF that Adrian Deluca might pull the plug on his AFL career to persue other work options. He wasn't listed amongst the mandatory AFL list changes yesterday so I guess the rumours are either A) rubbish or B) possible, but no decision made. I still think he is a player that can make a significant contribution at VFL level.

DeLuca, resigning

If DeLuca left the A.F.L. I hope he comes back to Port Melbourne and not the Bullants as he would be very handy player as he has a lot more experience since his days with us and a very well liked person. Go Borough!

Quote:Blue Deluca retires 4:08:38 PM Fri 3 November, 2006 Sportal for afl.com.au Carlton ruckman Adrian Deluca has announced his retirement at the age of 24. Deluca advised the club on Friday that he was keen to pursue other personal and professional interests in 2007. "I'm ready for the next phase of my life," Deluca said. "I will definitely miss being part of the Carlton Football Club and would like to thank the club for the opportunity they gave me to play AFL football. Deluca came to Carlton from Port Melbourne with selection 72 at the 2003 NAB AFL Draft. He played 46 games in three seasons including all 22 matches in his debut season, 2004. Carlton coach Denis Pagan said the club was sorry to lose Deluca but understood his decision. "We would like to thank him for his input to the club over the past few years and I'm sure everyone at the club wishes him the best for the future," Pagan said.

Sign him up Port!
