    He looked more fearsome without hair. Get it off.

    North just became the most inneficient and slowest midfield in the league.

    This might of been brought up in another thread, 

     

    Was thinking the other day, one way teams have been trying to stop max is smash into him early. You see them run into Max hard for the first 1-2 center ball ups of the match (and after half time). Do you think it is worth sending big Pruess into the center for the first bounce of the quarter and then let him drift forward and max to follow the ball? or let him take the first 5 min and let Maxy run out the quarter? 

    Max will always be the number 1 but protecting him against a Nankervis who just wants to put some "hurt" onto Max might be a big upside of the man monster Pruess in the side.

     

    sorry if this has been covered, just bored at work.

    My bother is a north fan. He's been giving me crap about Tyson for years.

    This trade is delicious.

    It will be interesting to see what happens. I imagine Gawn starts the qtr in the ruck so we can try and get a fast start and then Pruess comes on and does a majority of the rucking while Gawn goes to whatever end needs him.

    I'm not sure if it matters if it is the first bounce or latter bounces in the first half (first quarter?) there is little doubt Presuss has been brought in to give Gawn some relief. I doubt he will play every game but will play - about 75% i reckon. And definitely against those sides with two rucks.  

    As you rightly say teams definitely physically tried to work Gawny over to limit his impact -  understandable given how crucial is to our chances of winning.

    I thought the Hawks took it to another level in the semi. They were brutal. Smashed him at every opportunity. i was surprised he got up from one collision at the Punt road end when the hawks were pushing. Didn't help them much (though it wasn't his best game it has to be said) but it certainly helped the Eagles. At the ground you could see how stuffed gawny was from the first bounce. He was fully spent halfway through the first quarter. 

    Preuss might repay some of those hits with interest. He has rugby background i think so should be well used to using his strength and size to hit hard. I pity the fools.

    So according to former team mate Nick Dal Santo a nickname for Preuss is 'Pokey'.

    Apparently ANB knows the full story now after his chat with Dal Santo the other morning as it sounds like it was too salacious for the on air show.

    jesus... do our players really need to talk to Dal Santo? 

    If anyone was going to have a shitty nickname it would be Dal Santo himself.... Pinky maybe?

    Horses for courses. I think.

    For those who want to smash in... If Preus'y likes to smash in as well... and for an ex rugby man, he may like that.   Then let him crash the crashees first. 

    Give him the first 10 mins crack of the game at the opposition... to soften up the bang crash opponents.

     

    I'd like to see them both become interchangeable and equals, hopefully.

    I like Milton.     That mild mannered mountain.

    I think Milton would stir Preussy.

    If Preuss becomes “interchangeable and equal” with Max we will indeed become the feared and the hunted.

    I never want us to let go of the hunter imagery.

    IMO,  We are at our best when we are aggressive and feel like hunting opposition...   And I see no need to change that, even if we become an elite team.

    We still have to be the hunters of the ball... man with ball, and of the opponents.

     

    Choir boys don't hunt, as apparently they are easy quarry.

    We are not that any longer.

    Interesting and very observable point of view. One would think that Preuss has a role to play in this, to elicit some return 'hurt' as a gesture of goodwill and sharing. He'd most probably donate some protection - he seems to have a generous nature and by the looks of him, has plenty to give!

    And I see him doing just that when deep for de-Weide.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
