Has anyone ever done the rising star/brownlow/norm Smith trifecta?

Preuss has worked his [censored] off and completely changed his body shape to give himself the absolute best shot at being a regular at senior AFL level.

How typical of our (MFC) luck does this sort of thing happen........

I know its not the end of our season, but seriously.... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

 

 

MFCSS FCS

Seriously cursed. 
Thanks Dr Don Duffy - the curse of Norm Smith raises its ugly head again.

8-10 for Pruess will mean he isnt right this year. probably look a million dollars 1st November for Pre-season.

I think he'll stay quite fit off legs for a while,  and then work hard doing a mini preseason...  maybe even another trip to the USA.?

I would If I was him, as he is dipping his toe,  into a widening pond below.

Great. 2 Ruckman with dodgy knees

Marvellous news...

It is not a dodgy knee, it was an injury sustained at training, I thought he had been kicked in the leg, as there was a tangle of legs

You really do need to lighten up, it's footy, contact injuries happen


Luke Jackson  is not only going to be pushed into playing   as early as round 1, he could possibly be more involved in sharing the ruck responsibilities with Max assuming that Maxy might not be quite 100%.

As young as  Luke is, he   will have to grow up very quickly and I have the feeling that he will meet the challenge.

Hopefully Max is right to go by then.

Yes Max injured his knee at training. Now it is suspect 

that is called a dodgy knee until it isn’t. 

If we're talking the next couple of weeks then  a little tap work from Tyson Fury  plus odd chop out from Deontay Wilder should do the trick.

Well we drafted LJ and have the midseason draft to bring in a depth ruckmen if needed.

Not worried about this injury,   bad luck for Preuss though.

Just when I thought all hope was lost, my long-standing Sam Baulderstone campaign is given a fresh breath of life.

While right on the verge, Max Gawn was last year cruelly robbed of becoming the tallest ever AFL captain with the promotion of Jarrod Witts to co-lead that sham Gold Coast Sun franchise. Pruess's off-season slim-down has meanwhile seen him fall out of contention for the AFL's chunkiest player accolade.

Why not right these obvious wrongs by recruiting what would be the fattest ever human being to later play top-flight Australian football, a record unlikely to ever be eclipsed? Forget the supposedly feel-good story that is Bennell, preternaturally skilled beyond we couch-dwelling mortals with crushed MCG dreams - this would be literally huge.  

Beyond that, there's also a decent football case to be made. Runner-up in the Redlegs best-and-fairest last year, ahead of all of Alex Georgiou, Lewis Johnstone, Dom Barry, Michael Talia and Mitch Grigg - all of who you may note were given their chance on an AFL list. Was also named as the SANFL's 22nd best player last season, after averaging a huge 37 hit-outs per game. 

Seriously, big-bodied mature tap specialist who can genuinely kick and comes for free as a pres-season sup for a few games coverage.

8-10 weeks probably means the first 4 weeks of teh year.. its not ideal, but its not the end of the world. What we have to be clear of now is if Max isnt 100% for R1 then there is no way in hell he should play. Would love to win R1 but would rather not risk any kety players over in the west.

Use Brown, Use Weid, Use Petty if we have to.

Add Dunkley to the list. Just saw him in a moon boot. ?

Might explain that mystery. 

Max is back running and in amazing nick.  will get a practice game or two in and dominate.

Pruess is not best 22 so unless Max gets injured again I see no major issue here. just lost  a back-up ruck for the first few rounds

I think Mick Nolan with a playing weight of 135 kg would give Sam a run for his money.

Maybe it’s years of disappointment we have endured but I have a sick feeling in my gut about this season and slowly but surely the injury list continues to grow.

One ruck that ain’t a second ruck.  Preuss is so slow defensively, that he is a liability in the modern game.

Now returning from a knee mid-year, even the simpletons must doubt any impact in 2020.

Preuss is a first ruck or nothing.

 

Should have been traded out, injury or no injury.

Baulderstone at peak fatness weighed more than Langdon and Lockhart combined.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
