    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

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
