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

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
