If Preuss is so great how come he couldn't get a game with North all season? Looks a bit of a lumbering dinosaur to me

Goldstein was back to his best form, Majak was playing well, Brown and Waite and others held forward spots...

I am clutching at straws as I personally rate Tyson far more highly than Preuss...

    I can’t believe people actually think Tyson is in our best 22. He is depth only with a full strength list. Straight swap is fine.

     

    Ruckmen don’t grow on trees. Inside midfielders do at Melbourne however.

    Preuss for Tyson isn't even speculative about who wins that. North get a 20 plus possession midfielder and we get a bloke who has barely played. You do the math.

    If they want that deal to go ahead, shuffling of draft picks will need to come into it (or another club potentially). This isn't Essendon style over rating of our players but simply not wanting to get pantsed.

    Anyone else concerned with our lack of depth after this trade period?

    I would need to look at who we bring in after the trade period to judge. If we lose our depth players and can't bring players back the other way....potentially yes.

    If Tyson is on $500k as suggested here then there's salary cap dump involved too which helps our cause.  I expect Preuss will come on less per year over 4 years.  That is a factor in evening out the trade value.

    Straight swap for Preuss? Ew, guy can't get a game at Norf, Tyson is best 22 for us. Preuss will play VFL unless Max is injured.

    Teams play maximum two rucks with most playing one. Teams play how many midfielders and even more so how many inside midfielders? If we lose one inside mid in 2019 how much will you panic? If Gawn went down next year how much will you panic? 

    Preuss is worth as much as Tyson. You could potentially argue more.

    100% agree. There are plenty of one-paced mids out there. Perhaps we've already got something in the works and know Tyson will be surplus to needs.... Andy Brayshaw perhaps?? Speculation only.

    Corey Maynard is a very average AFL footballer but I guess he would be considered our 'insurance' inside mid who we can bring in if a few of our star mids go down

    Real pity Dom doesn’t accept GC offer as it would make it easier to do the May deal without the Hogan deal. We might be able to get a better pick than we have by bundling other deals like Kent and AVB proceeds to give to GC .

    It would certainly take the pressure off the Hogan deal.

    Really was hoping for Dom to come up to the GC, I go to a few of their games so it would give me someone to cheer on.

    Straight swap of Tyson for Preuss.  

    Wtf.

    We must need the backup ruck role desperately.    

    North should at least give us pick 57 or 67 as a side order to go with Preuss.  They are unlikely to use them anyway.

    Think that was pretty obvious when we delisted Filipovic and King.

    In 2019, we are going to have the best ruck in the league, and a more than capable back-up who will continue to get better.  A lot of sides would be in envy of our position here.

    If a straight swap isn’t a win, then what is?

    Tyson for Preuss plus a 4th rounder we won’t use..?

    It seems a little odd that we made a prelim and are making quite a few list changes. I trust the club though to be making the correct ones.

    Making the changes because we only made the Prelim.

    Changes get us a flag ;)

    Hardly any changes cut into best 25 (so far).  We can make these changes and get significantly better where we have gaps or nqr options.  Casey will be better for it!

    Surely Pittard, as it'll be a salary dump to help the deal across the line.

    Pittard was a free agent last year but signed a sizeable 3 year extension before spending a lot of the year playing magoos.

    North can only offer their pick 11 for Polec but by taking the last 2 years of Pittard's contact off Port (who are squeezed with some terrible contracts) then they can add some value to the trade .... but they can't be so far off that they need to take Hartlett's monster contact, surely.

    I think it was just a case of Basil’s teleprompter.  Was changed back on the website pretty quick.  The dumping of salary cap sounds a valuable add on, but I wonder how the AFL see such things re trading fair value?

    and North can front-load it all in 2019 again

    • 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?
