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.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
