    He’s 100% on the radar and I can confirm he’s been seen in and around Melbourne. #ETtradebreaker

    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.

    tyson is a best 22, second rotation inside midfield / first winger for us at the moment

    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 

  • Quote

    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: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
