Enjoyed his work at the Dees and he'd certainly have played more games if it wasn't for Maxy's dominance.

Where did you find his weight? I thought they didn't publish that info anymore.

Was listed at 118kg in 2023. Much bigger now

Christ on a bike. Tell me you’re kidding 

Not really thst good 

On memory he was shocking when tried as a resting forward..... he'll get picked up in a state or country team. 



I thought that as a ruckman he was quite good, and as a forward he is a man mountain. I don't know what he's like as a bloke, and what he's like at training, but he certainly has had a lot of bad luck with injuries. I still think he'd be worth a go so long as he didn't have huge expectations of being in the first every week.

Max always liked him

Max likes everyone - although, we've never met.  😔

I'd recruit him for one purpose.  To run through Brayden Maynard and then fall on his prone body with a diving elbow drop then a body slam ala WWE.  Then he could retire with immediate effect.  

I'd pay good money to see that.

Worth another go, a long way in front of Fullerton and Verrall.

That would not be hard bluey.

Didn’t realise he was still on an AFL list. He’s been lucky to avoid the chop this long.

He gained too much weight

Everyone on this site has been saying that we need a backup for Max who can play a bit forward and is prepared to spend time in the reserves. Isn't Preuss ideal?

His body isn’t right, constantly injured. So no, far from ideal.

Mate he simply cannot stay on the field

He is either injured or suspended

I always liked big Preussy!

Would love to see him squash Brayden Maynard into the dirt!

Unfortunately, I don't think he could take an overhead mark?!

Plus he was always injured.

Would prefer him over Tom Campbell though.

Who else thought we'd struck gold after that first quarter?

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
