Rip roaring deal for us.

We got Preuss for Tyson and a pick in the 60s, and now we off load him two years later for pick 31.

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.

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.

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.

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

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
