I hope not. Or hope so. I'm not sure. 

Gunston? 

Clues:

  • A key forward (are correct to assume a big?)
  • Victorian club
  • But not pies
  • And not membrey or Bruce
  • A club who needs to shed some players or $$ this trade period
  • Would be a surprise 

And backwardly updating this, in contract it seems.

This is the best thread of the period yet.

Really? Preuss was recruited as a back up for Gawn, with the understanding he'd learn from the best in the game and maybe take over from him in a few years. Perhaps get a few games with or without Gawn in the mean time. Not sure i'd call that a failure 12 mths down the track

I'm not sure that is why he ewas recruited. My sense is that ideally he play as a forward - and pinch hitting to give Maxy a chop out. He does not look like he is going to be a forward option. 

If it was to play at casey for a few years and be back up for maxy,well sure that isn't a failure. But i'm pretty sure all concerned had grander plans than that.

And kicks goals against us. So that might rule the rat out unfortunately.

Update on clues:

  • A key forward (correct to assume a big?)
  • Has a current contract
  • Has a good record against the dees
  • Victorian club
  • But not pies
  • And not membrey or Bruce
  • A club who needs to shed some players or $$ this trade period
  • Would be a surprise

My best guess is either Tim O'Brien or Gunston. Jon Patton comes in so they will definitely be moving on a key forward and I assume are moving some $$ away to make a run in at Whitfield or Cameron next year. Nothing has been said about Frost's move to the Hawks since it was first reported, and I reckon us trying to grab one of those two might be the sticking point between that deal getting done.


Yoko used the phases "excited by" and "not a battler".  That would rule out Tim O'Brien I reckon.

Gunston then? Would satisfy not being a battler thats for sure.

Some mentioned Players and their biggest bag against the Dee's

O'Brien: 3

Hawkins: 7

 

Apologies, but I was nervous about giving too much info and ruining the trust of my source. So, you can rule in ANYONE mentioned in this thread, wether they have been ruled out by me or others or not.

Last post on this, I will leave you all to muse on it until I am allowed more, or the players name actually comes out.

You missed basil rat

Ha ha ha. I meant any of the people mentioned in the topic could be the one!

but I think you can rule out some of them given my first points, and the fact I was excited by the person (ruling out people like O’Brien)

Has the name been mentioned in post#262 ?

It was also said not from Collingwood I believe?

I got the impression from one of Yoko's posts that it was actually a small, not a tall. Am I alone in that assumption?

 

As per Yoko's post #191

" I will ease your minds and say it isn’t Cox or anyone from that club! "

So all Pies players can come off the possibles list.

I also posted that was it wrong to assume if it is a key forward but in the Elliot mould not necessarily a tall. So I got that impression as well. Saints need to clear cap space but it aint Membrey so I thought Billings.

Ha ha ha i missed that.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
