True, but we have plenty of his type.  

Some would say two ruckman is plenty also wise

    awkward face in that interview... can't say he looks stoked to be a dee. really hope that they've done the right thing here!

     

    he's moving across the country in a couple of days now, pretty daunting for an 18 year old kid.

    What do you want the bloke to do?  Cartwheels?  Pull the back of his jumper up to show a Dees tattoo at the small of his back?

    Jesus.

    Unless we already realise that Preuss will be nothing more than handy depth.  This bloke has the capacity, with the right development, to be an absolute star.

    Gunna call it now, happy to be on record. we're nuts if we don't bid on Green with pick 3 

     

    We might get him with pick 10.

    No they will use their fodder to counter Ron...we might but the horse bolted after pick 3 and we handed them Ash as well.

    As much as I don't like it it makes sense, he will peak as Maxy starts to wain, can offer something in the interim. And will be injury insurance.

    It's a no brainer really, not withstanding his enormous ceiling.

     

    As for go home factor, it's a load of [censored]. If you don't back yourself in to convincing someone to stay your [censored] before you start.

    We let Jesse go, and for good reason.

    Listen, regardless of how we feel about this pick right now, the least we can do is get behind the kid.  He clearly has some attributes that can make him a star and, until we see him in a few years time, I think we can at least try and hold off on the wrist slashing.

    With pith 10 let’s target a tall defender to take over from May, think about it, we’ll be set with a fullback for the next 10-12 years.

    Did you see his face? It’s obvious to me that he is going to get us into a grand final in 2021, and with the opportunity to kick the winning goal, will turn on an angle and kick the ball straight into the crowd, just to mess with us. He will also steal some people here’s superannuation in a Ponzi scheme.

    Agree.   Whether us fanatical long suffering Dees members think someone else should be picked, Luke Jackson is now a Demon and we need to support him to deliver us the holy grail.

    The kid might be a player one day, but right now we are a team devoid of skill, we need classy ball users, I wish him well but I think we should of went the other way.

    I'll be honest and say that I wasn't all the enamored with this selection a few weeks ago, and I'm still warming up to it.  

    But it just seems childish to knock the club or the pick until we see the outcome, which is still a fair way down the track.

    What's wrong with Ricky Jackson....he's obviously shot up a bit (but not in Richmond backstreets).

    Good luck to him and I hope he does really well for us. 
     

    I am only concerned if we don’t perform he will off to the weagles as he said Peter Sumich is his mentor who he will remain in contact with and that his fav player is Nic Nat. 
     

    U can bet Sumich will be pushing for him to go to the weagles especially if we are still crap like this season.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
