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.

Wonder how Lachie Hunter and Jack Macrae get/got on.....

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

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

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 🙌

    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
