Without meaning to be too cynical, this sounds exactly like Paul Johnson’s bio when we picked him up from West Coast. Not saying the result will be the same, just pointing out that annointing him the solution to both our ruck problem *and* third tall forward problem (as belzebub did in reply) is setting the bar very high.

If he was that good he’d be in the Norf ones and not getting traded. There is risk involved and the trade, and our expectations, should be weighted accordingly.

I’d still be looking at rucks in the draft, even if we get Preuss. (Edit: forgot about Bradtke on the rookie list, so maybe that’s enough project rucks on the list.)

How about Doyle?

    Unsubstantiated rumour by an SEN listener this morning. Goldstein was spotted meeting with Geelong people last week and the listener is convinced Goldy will be at Geelong next year. 

    Can’t see Norf trading Goldy and Preuss unless they get someone like a Zac Smith in return.

    Ah yes, Paul 'The Armless Man' Johnson so named for his failure to understand that if you're a tall chap picked to play as a tall chap lifting your arms above your head towards the incoming ball is really quite essential.

    Preuss at least has the mongrel to go with his height and bulk, and is not averse to marking the ball above his head. Its fairly obvious that we can't keep playing Max in the ruck for most of the game as he will be cooked late in the season.

    Give him  bit more credit than that - Paul Johnson was one of our great back pocket players during very dark times.

    Prius on Max’s training regime.  Fit, big and strong.  Would be a great option to ruck/play a kick behind the ball, or as the monster forward.  If he commits to work like a beast, he will definitely improve our team.

    He's one of those hybrid ruckman/forwards, is he?

    Whilst Tyson is no world beater, he is definitely no Gysberts either.

    I wouldn't. Only reason is to remove $500k from our cap and make room for May if Jesse stays.

    So we could afford May and Jesse if he decides to stay?

    I thought it was reported we couldn’t afford Jesse and May or do we not have the picks probs more so to satisfy GC?

    We don't have the cap room, but getting rid of Kent, Tyson and maybe VDB should leave room even if Jesse stays.

  • Quote

    and if jesse stays we could offer may a backloaded contract of $0 first year knowing jesse would go at end of next year

    ....assuming may can live off his savings for a year and free board at the romsey manor

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!
