WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BRAYDON PREUSS

What
in Melbourne Demons

MELBOURNE has emerged as an unlikely suitor for lightly played Kangaroos ruckman Braydon Preuss.

Preuss played eight games last year and threatened Todd Goldstein's status as North Melbourne's No.1 big man, but failed to play a senior match in 2018 despite dominating at VFL level.

    Very interesting.

    I guess with the proposed rule changes could we see teams play 2 genuine rucks or is he just a 2nd fiddle to the great Max

    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?

    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.

    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...”

    Interesting. Is this for salary cap or other reason(s)?

    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.

    Seems weird to me. If he plays, one of TMac, Hogan or Weid doesn't...

    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...

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
