Round 2: Debut, 19 possessions in 129-point win over GWS Giants
kangaroos.com.au says
In his second season, the younger Delaney made his debut in Round 2 against the GWS Giants. With 19 disposals and 5 marks, he was impressive and showcased impressive mobility and agility for his size.
Coming back into the side for the Round 7 game against the Bulldogs, Delaney was able to hold his spot for the next month but lost his position after the Hawthorn defeat in Launceston.
Despite not playing another senior game, Delaney put his AFL experience to good use for North Ballarat, often taking the opposition's best key forward and turning in a string of good performances. He was also signed to a new three year deal.
Quotes
"In the coming years when we've still got a few key-position players, hopefully my agility and ability to play on smalls and third talls will help me keep a spot in defence"
Cam Delaney
"We know he can play and we're just going to ask him to take the game on"
