I just don't understand this, we have an academy player and a father son who nominated us and we need points (yes I realise we can go into deficit next year, but we need picks next year as well don't we????) yet here we are with limited points to get the above 2 done.
 
Demons footy boss Josh Mahoney said Preuss wanted to play alongside superstar ruckman Max Gawn, and Gawn was also keen on the deal.

“Max was very keen to get Braydon on board, for both of their benefits. Through competitive work at training, they both believe they are going to improve as players," Mahoney said.

Lol, Preuss recruited to be a ruck bag.

still scratching my head about why pruess wants melbourne and melbourne want pruess. will be interesting to keep an eye on that next year.
Yeah I am still struggling with the concept of 'I can't get a game behind Goldy so I want to go play under Gawn instead'. Only thing I can think of is Gawn's body is banged up and wants to play less ruck time next year. Otherwise Preuss has just moved from North Melbourne VFL to Casey VFL
 
Im fuming with this, Why didnt we use pruess to get Scully, isnt pruess from up that way?
Apart from the fact that Preuss aint from NSW, maybe Scully doesn't won't to come to North.

You do know you can't kidnap players and torture them until they submit?

so in Polec, Pittard, Tyson and soon to be Hall
out from senior list Waite, Clarke, billy, dec, hibb, Jwilliams, Nielson and Preuss

4 in 8 out

4 senior list spots left to fill through the draft after getting Hall

We'll need to delist Morgan or pull off a surprise value trade out of one of our squad as we have five picks with points value and will need available list spots to use all of them.

In fact, for anybody worried about us throwing out 61 to use that pick for points we'd probably have to delist even more players.
 
As tas has pointed out, we don’t exactly need him, rate him or not.

Need? No. He will be handy depending on the role and how it impacts others. TBH, i don't mind him playing if we give less games to players like Clarke, Hrovat, etc.

My only concern is haemorrhaging points, I hope Thomas and Scott do not attract early bids. If we pass on Scott due to the way we traded the last couple of years then Joyce should be given the arse.

I felt we had a lot more opportunity last year to bring in some extra picks for this year, we pretty much spend the entire period with our thumb up our arse.

That’s been my concern. We are far too skinny on points, not even counting the hall trade.
 
I guess at least one upside is, with all the GWS defections this year JK probably won't feel compelled to stay around out of loyalty....

Yeah, I'm sure Preuss has entered the situation blind and he doesnt know what their plans are for him or whether he'll get senior opportunities.

Actually we do. We have Cunnington and Anderson, and perhaps Dumont at a pinch. That's not enough as shown by our poor clearances record this year.
Those issues are more structural in nature and not having enough of a defensive spread in clearances due to a lack of inside leg speed. How many times have Collingwood burnt us in that area via Trealor and co, their bursts kill us. Fix the structure and get speed in there. Tyson isn’t going to fix that.

With the exception of Anderson and maybe Higgins (who is sometimes slow to get into his defensive running, let’s be honest), we lack in that area. Hall fixes a few issues and we really need Kelly to round our midfield now.

So we're not trading Goldstein?

Tyson is nowhere near a Jacobs.

When did Jacobs become a plodder?
Such a short memory. After the sydney final a few years back jacobs was "deadwood" along with players like Tarrant. The infamous gif of him falling on his backside was replayed over and over again iin the pre-season. Zondor was routinely calling Joyce and Scott and ironstein for recruiting him. Here we are...

Jed too.
