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.

    Hope he doesn't decide to join Jesse in a couple of years.

    Case of repeating history and hoping for a different outcome

     There's a name for this behaviour

    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.

    I can already see after years of development he will be requesting a trade back to WA.

    History tells me we just [censored] this pick up the wall.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    Haven't been around here for a while, but good to see Wiseblood back to his optimistic best!

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
