Pruess out of contract at GWS. He was unfortunately always injured (or suspended) and they never got to see the best of him. At 28 he's a well established ruck that could fill in for Max for 5 - 10 games a year while we wait for our young rucks to develop. 

Would love to have Preuss back, this was one of my favourite plays from when he played for us - what a character 😂

    He was excellent on Saturday. I have him in my SC team so watch closely. Only thing which I think we would hopefully take out of his game is he tends to coast a lot when chasing opponents.

    Surely he wouldn't fit in with a no d1** head policy?

    Thanks @Ferghus31. Whilst we currently don't have a 3rd round pick it is fathomable that we could get one in the end of season trade period. Joel Amartey would be a good fit for our list.

    I think Jack Macrae is one of the best wingmen in the AFL...the dogs choose not to play him there.

    They would get on fine when he takes his wing position.

    Macrae a winger? You must be an All Australian selector

    Jon Ralph just confirmed with Garry Lyon that Garry met with Harley Reid’s parents on Saturday, and essentially implied he was meeting on behalf of the Dees.

    Garry then said Sundays events put an end to any plans with West Coast. I think we thought it was on.

    That seems like a rule for the sake of having a rule. Would like to see official confirmation of that.

    Sounds like a Kevin Bartlett rule.

    It's where he started his career and he was a very good one.

    Still a possibility that North beat Suns in Tassie.

    There is more chance of the sky turning red than North winning this weekend.

    Would certainly fit our midfield, but is 29 now...

    Suppose it depends on the cost.

    I’m guessing it’d be Grundy for Ladhams & change.

    ladhams would be a pretty good number 2, would be serviceball if required but happy to be number 2

    Surely 4+ clubs is a mega deal :laugh:

     

    But anyhoo, Dylan Stephens from Sydney is looking to come to Victoria, perhaps he would be in the deal?

    dyl stpehens is a HB and we seem super settled there with young players

    Now that is stuff of fantasy, would love to get Holmes but he isn't going anywhere.

    It is early you never know, but i don't think so at this stage.

     

    I think a more realistic target could be Tarryn Thomas, bit of a rascal but can play. Forward and mid adds something we dont' have a lot of.

    And apparetnly on the outer at North.

    TT under the radar but very good.

    I was at the Tigers/North game on Saturday. Taryn Thomas is a deadset gun. Has the ability to be a top liner. Would be a great get if he gets everything right. But I get the feeling north will be doing their best to keep him.

    I think if we get a 2nd and the whole of the Grundy $ off the books we take it and be happy with it. Probably fanciful to think we’ll get a decent young player out of it.

    Said it in another thread a week or so ago but I think in a couple of years he could be the best player in the comp. Better we have him than another club! Dusty was a similar story seven years ago.

    No thanks...

    This is the clown that flattened Taj  when he was trying to get back in the Swans team for finals.

    Not the sharpest...there are better options.

     Dry season for trade rumours. Only perhaps Ben Mckay to bombers. Can’t think of anything else with any degree of substance.   

    Couldn't help the subconscious link eh... Bombers...substance etc etc 🙌

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
