Fantasy

A persistent mature-age recruit, Mani Liddy had to take the long road to the AFL, originating from Sturtโ€™s junior program before switching to Central District in the SANFL to reignite his career. His perseverance paid off in 2025 when a dominant display for the SANFL state teamโ€”earning him the Fos Williams Medalโ€”caught the eye of Port Adelaide recruiters, who selected him with pick 16 in the Mid-Season Draft. A qualified refrigeration mechanic by trade, Liddy brought a blue-collar work ethic to Alberton, immediately impressing with his contested ball-winning ability and clean hands at stoppages. He wasted no time making his mark, debuting just weeks after being listed and playing nine games in his first half-season, establishing himself as a tenacious inside midfielder fighting for a permanent spot in the Powerโ€™s engine room.
