Really! We’ve been decimated with injuries and the coaching panel have developed and are deploying their best strategy to enable us to win... and it don’t include Pruess, and they (our coaches) know a lot more than any on here. and we’ll still probably lose, but have given it our best crack. some respect go Demons. If we lose it won’t be because we didn’t pick Preuss and it’s nothing to do with feeling vindicated if we lose as u suggest. He is ready to go and showed good form last week and should be in the team. He provides great support for Maxy. It’s pretty simple.

Then we got belted. This year, we are out of form, still fairly unfit, and having to choose from the most depleted list in the league. It doesn't bode well. Arguably we should lose by more as all the factors that were in our favour in the prelim no longer exist. It really could, and should be ugly. But is it too much to dream? I love an underdog story. Maybe I'm just fatigued (1 month newborn at home), but this is the exact sort of game good teams can win. It's not impossible. Unlikely, sure, but impossible? I've tipped us by 1 point. We CAN do this. Go Dees! ?? Hey congrats on the new arrival ! ?? 1

Agree We don't lose because of no Preuss... unless we lose by less than 2 goals then I retract! The point is we drafted Preuss to support Max, and we have 17 injuries and are playing the team that doubled up on Maxy to destroy us! And we choose not to play Preuss... 1

Before the start of the year I thought I was going to have to manage competing joys of fatherhood and a huge year from the Dees. As it's eventuated, I've had no distractions at all with being a good Dad haha. Let's hope we get things together before the kid is old enough to pick a team (I've already bought his gear). 2

It really can't be Petty as it wouldn't be fair to select him and drop him at the last minute. The thing is it was just so obvious WCE would bring in Hickey at the last minute. If Preuss doesn't come in Goodwin has a good reason. If we don't bring in Preuss and WCE tag and work Max over again I hope Goodwin has a very big flack jacket as fans (DL's) will have mega meltdowns be they warranted or not. Thanks LH. Personally I think they’re nuts not to play Pruess tonight! He’s playing v well ATM, WC are planning to work Max over again, which also increases Maxs’ risk of injury, but also, though he’s had little to beat this year, Pruess has been our best KPF this year ! (On the rare occasion we got to see it). 1
