    Facebook says we offered Tyson but it was rejected.

    But, you know, Facebook.

    If that was the case, then i am glad they rejected it. Tyson is worth more than a 3rd round pick, Preuss not so much.

    Laughable!  Lewis will be gone in 12 months, Jones not long past that.  Tyson has an important role to play in this side over the next few years.

    With an ageing midfield North would be crazy not to take that deal, not that I want to lose Tyson.  If the fb post is true, maybe our offer was Tyson plus a draft pick and North baulked at that?

    Just realised Preuss is in contract till end of 2020.  So we must really want him to effectively trade him out of his contract, so maybe it is a simple player swap...

    ...North will want overs...

    Garlett & 43 for Preuss & 63 sounds reasonable to me.

    Have to be prepared to pay a little overs for someone who has 2 years to run on a contract.

    I love the idea of us aquiring Preuss. Our midfield could be coming into a decade of dominance and our season would be derailed with the current back up ruck stocks we have after Max. I'd be willing to pay the bloke huge overs to sit down at Casey and be the raininy day rainbow should big Max suffer and injury next year. The benefit to Casey and the developement of our midfield brigade at Casey would be so beneficial.

    How many years was Jonathan Griffin back up to Sandilands? The big fella is STILL going, while Griffin finished his career on 97 games in a decade-long playing career as second fiddle 

    Some blokes are more than happy to be role players eeking out a long career as a result

    Dean Kent and a swap of picks seems like a fair deal to me

    I have backed Tyson.

    But after the prelim deesaster, Tyson for Preuss sounds like a fair deal.

    Preuss is an imposing figure, he can more than hold his own. Therefore we should be emboldened by Mason cox's performance in having confidence that one of our duo can be a strong marking forward for 70-80% game time. Lever and May allow Gawn to rest forward reliably instead of in defence too.  

    Hogan, VDB, petracca given more time in middle as bulls as Weed TMAC & Preuss is enough. Then we alternate a new small forward in there with spargo, hannan and melk.

    Why are we talking about May, he is apparently off to the Pies.

    It was reported that he met with Melbourne on his own initiative late last week to sound out his options.

    How could we even get him? We have no first round draft picks, and you know GC will want something big in return.

    Would be nice to have him, maybe Jason Taylor and Todd Viney can work some magic?

    The club has made some good trade deals in the last few years but we really need to start nailing free agency if we want to make a serious tilt at a flag.

    After yesterday, this seems like a much better idea.

    Not that Max played badly but the Eagles worked out how to play him. Having either Vardy or Lycett go with him when he floated back or forward shagged a lot of our game plan. 

    Preuss will be a definite starter of he is willing to pay a role that necessarily isn't first ruck for 100% of game time.

    We need more speed and run, and delivery, from our mid-sized players.

    IMO, we cannot play too many, not with speed and high disposal quality.

    (Re Steven May)

    What do you think is most important to the GCSuns, at this point for their club ?

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
