WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BRAYDON PREUSS



Recommended Posts

He wants to leave Norf because he doesn’t want to play in the state league. Does this mean we intend on playing two genuine rucks?

Why would he want to come and play second fiddle to the AA ruckman? You’d think we would be the last place a ruckman desperate to establish himself would choose.

Brilliant. Gawn won’t be able to carry this huge work load every year and stay on the park. 

This would be a good get, and Max has been a fan of his.

Agreed 100%.

We cant go in to next season with Max King and Filipovic as our backup ruckmen.

He should go to Carltank 

they have m-kruezer on one leg

kruezer escapes number 1 scrutiny yet Watts #1 always gets mentioned

Not a very fair comparison IMO. 

When Kruezer is fit he is a gun.

Been plagued by injury nearly his whole career.

If the price is right I would absolutely take him. He’s no Gawn, but miles better than king and flipper.

Ditch king and flipper, play Hogan in defence, alternate preuss and Gawn in the ruck resting forward.

use additional spot on list for further midfield depth/outside run

Interesting issue: would any half decent ruckman want to play second fiddle most of the time.

Also interesting is that Max apparently thought that Flip was the next big thing too.

I think Gawn referred to him as his favoured opposition player during the preseason... after he dumped TMac in AFLX:

“My favourite opposition player against my least favourite teammate...”

Gawn coached Flip in juniors and liked him which is a natural reaction to coaching any kid with a bit of talent. But I think that's different to actually having come up against a guy at AFL level and seen his talent. Preuss has a lot of talent, but I'm not sure why he'd leave being stuck behind Goldy to be stuck behind Gawn. 

We could play both but not if Weeds is playing like he is now. We certainly aren't in a position to promise games.

there is absolutely no way Mitch King will be kept on the list after last week's performance.

This would be a very smart move by MFC and needed.

I believe both Preuss and Gawn can play in the same side most definitely! I think having both throws a spanner ? in the works for oppositions too match up on. 

We can’t drive big Max into the ground...

Preuss is a big man who can throw his weight around and soften the opposition with making an impact. He can ruck and play forward. 

A Massive YES from me...

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
