Demand and Supply at work:  Lots of interest in Preuss.  Not much (if any) in Brown.

Altho will wait and see if anything is attached to 33 for Brown.

    That's an amazing result for the big Preuss! 

    Well done MFC.

    Braydon played a good game against Grundy and that is why his value skyrocketed to a pick in the second round.

    Good Ruckmen means you must pay a premium since they don't grow on trees.

    MFC traded Jolly for pick 15.

    Good trading by us...I don’t think big Braydon is good enough to be the main man, and he’s injured a lot too, we will see....

    Well I hope Pruess does well for himself. Showed initiative in coming to develop alongside Big Max.

    GWS will have plenty of early picks if the Cameron deals goes through 

    can’t use them all so that pick has less value to them than us 

    sensible trade all round id say 

    hope Brandon does ok and gets a fair go but just stinks it up against us ?

    Haha, like clockwork every year.

    Two weeks before trade period: "Mahoney's [censored]. WTF is he doing? Why haven't we landed the player we need already?! Melbourne being bent over again!"

    First week of trade period: crickets... 

    Final few days and hours: "Well done, Mahoney. Well done, MFC."

    I must admit Josh Mahoney has been involved with dealing for draft picks and improving our position in the national draft for a number of years now  and is getting better by the year.

    31 for Preuss is a great get.  Well done Josh and co.

    Turning Dom Tyson into Pick 31 is good work indeed.

    If Preuss can minimise injuries and be a regular he'll be a good get for Giants.

    Most held off having a swing until the deal was invariably done. Preuss was always going to land a second rounder. Two years left on his contract and a commodity like a ruckman (yes, I know, I don't rate them, but clearly other clubs do) and it was always likely he'd be able to fill a #1 ruck spot.

    Well done, MFC though. ;)

    Demons get really good value in the trade and GWS will be perfectly content with their side of the bargain. We've managed to maintain a sustained pattern of that mutual satisfaction with multiple clubs over multiple years. 

    Mahoney's enthusiastic endorsement of Preuss after the deal was done is good form, too. I guess you can feel comfortable doing that when you've got the champion on your list already.

    Be funny if (and seems likely that) Tom McDonald ends up being traded for a lesser pick as well as with salary subsidy. Trade value is a strange market and I'm glad to have people on hand who are always looking for the small, astute gains.

    Good luck Braydon. Hope you do well at GWS. The rest of the team, not so much. Hope they all fall by the wayside.?

    31 means nothing unless it is used wisely. I’ll celebrate if it’s used in a player trade, bundled up for better, or used to pick a kid  that will become best 22. Otherwise it means nothing

    I’ll miss Preussy .

    He was killing it at Casey.

    Remember a game against Essendon at Windy Hill in 2018. Marked everything plus kicked a few goals.

    Good luck at GWS

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
