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?

He's an absolute beast.

Age claiming a straight swap with Dom Tyson. Hmmm, not sure how I feel about this. Guess it helps better balance our list

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

I would take that in a heartbeat.

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.

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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • 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.
