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

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
