Maxy's favourite ruckman!!!

On a related note to this trade Tyson wouldn't have hit the target that The Big Prussian hit with the kick from the free.

Love a photo of Charlie Spargo in between Brayden and Max

Can't confirm the authenticity of this photo.

A little touch of gold from The Carlton Draft... (with all due respect to Dom)

LoL.... It looked like he was in WWE just for a second.

?


North board on BF saying they feel the new ruck rules will suit his style. He’s left there for greater opportunity so it will be interesting to see how he gets utilised. He obviously likes the plan we’ve put forward for him.

Welcome aboard Prussian (love it) ?

Similar attributes to Gawny so if we can get him on the program that Gawn’s on he will be a beast !

Not saying he can’t kick goals or mark but we really need to work on those attributes so he can be more than just “Gawns back up”. He could become a dangerous tall up forward with TMac & Weids while being a very handy option to Max Gawn in the ruck when Gawn has a rest or plays up back/forward.

If he followed a similar trajectory to Mason Cox when playing forward we will be unstoppable next year.

Up forward, Preuss will give both the Weed and TMac heaps of options to lead forward of the goalmouth. He could also be handy for a smaller crumber for snaps. Great potential for the team.


He comes in for specific ruck match ups against certain clubs ... and to prolong Max’s career.

Looking forward to those games where Preussy starts in the centre square and opposition defenders shite themselves as Big Max struts down to the goalsquare!

mahoney good on that update - sounds as fed up with freo's bs as everyone on this board

Tells it like it is, and doesn't stuff around with delusional scenarios - hello peter bell (not worthy of capitals)

Im happy with this. It gives Max more of a break and this guy is massive so he can go forward to. It means hopefully weiderman and Tom know longer have to do ruckwork and can stay down forward.

Has he a nickname yet, For Preuss...

 

 Maybe KEN...

?

BP  -  Petrol - Juice, yes Juice Preuss!

 

Edit: About time we had another Juice

Welcome to the club big Preuss! Just as a thought for a solution with our defensive questions, could we play Preuss back there a bit? Big body, surely wouldn’t be outmarked too many times, his recruitment also throws up the ability to swing Jesse, Sam, or TMac back at times. 

Maxxy’s statement of my “favourite ruckman” (while perhaps a little bit of comedy) does have me hopeful that they’ll work well together.

“Marcel” Preuss

Probably a bit high brow for the Demon hoi polloi. ( Proust is boring anyhow. As boring as Gerald Murnane.)


Great result. Gawn gets what he needs and our options grow.

Boy we are big next year...

"Cat"....as in Preussy cat.

Cat says yes.

 

As a Prussian descendant (my fathers, fathers, fathers, fathers side), I have a clear fav for nickname.

Calculated risk, still relatively unproven but he’ll be in the right environment to grow.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
