@Supermercado would be over the moon. I wouldn't hate it either.

If the Experience returns I'll be useless due to dying of excitement.

I like the idea of swapping Tyson for Preuss. However, I only hope Mahoney and Co. push for a little more than a direct trade. Say start with a second-round pick, and settle with a third, or swap of a second and third. Alternatively, salary cap payment of Preuss.

Why, because we know that Tyson is North's contingency to Gaff. I predict their salary cap savings won't roll over again (someone can clarify this, but is it two years non-fulfilled salary cap, 5% max, can roll over?). Furthermore, Tyson is a 100+ game player, former number three draft pick (if that means anything), while Preuss has only 8 games and is a former rookie selection.

I presume one of the sides is currently pushing for a little more, which would explain the delay.

Preuss for Tyson. Yes that works. Maybe we can snag a late pick in the 60s to go with it. 

Preuss and NMFC pick 68 for Tyson

I wonder if North supporters would be arguing the opposite? I know Tyson played more games than Preuss in 2018 but on a needs basis, I think it's arguable that we need Preuss more than they need Tyson.

Goldstein turns 31 next year. How many more seasons are they expecting out of him?

I like the look of Preuss but their willingness to part with him at this stage is...interesting. I’m hoping we see a pick upgrade in this deal.

And the huge knee into Mummy guts would hurt too.

Looks like a nasty bastard so side benefit of never having his crash into Max

Indeed they are, I've been told that on big footy, they are suggesting that, one idiot, at least, wants Tyson and we pay half his contract for the next two years plus our first round pick from next year for Preuss.  There are others that are stupid, but that is the most stupid, no wonder most think Norf supporters are morons.

i reckon we should send him with a baseball bat to negotiate with Freo - he would swat Peter Bell like a fly

Let Crossy have him for a month. That will sort him out.

These new rules would suit him too, can just grab it out of the ruck (goodluck tackling him if youre a midfielder) AND up forward he can just shove [censored] out of the way

Deal just announced. Huge kudos to mahoney.

Finalised trade confirmed by the AFL website. Tyson to North and big boy Preussy and a 4th rounder to us.

New ruck rules are gonna benefit big guys like Pruess as well. He can essentially grab it and go, or give it off to a quicker mid without worrying about prior.

Great Result, get rid of Tyson, to cover a massive hole on our list.  With Bradke as the devolping ruck, I still think we will look at Rookie draft another ruck from state league competition.

Pretty close, Norm ?

Tyson would've had limited opportunities with us and I think he suits Norf to play the Dalsanto role, though Dal was a better player than Tyson. 

Preuss is what we need. I can see him helping out down forward, or letting Max help out down forward for 10 mins each qtr.

Plus it's a salary dump for us, freeing up SC space for May or to bank for next year.

Both clubs win IMO

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
