Demonland

Welcome back Braydon Preuss. A local boy recruited to North Melbourne via the Surfers Paradise Demons so he’ll be keen to do well for the red and blue. First game at this level since 24 August, 2019 v North Melbourne at Blundstone Arena where he played as second ruck to Max and was relatively ineffective with 6 disposals and 9 hit outs in a losing team. Before that his best game for the club was in Round 16 when he led the club’s rucks against Carlton in the absence of Max Gawn - the last Demon victory for 2019 and the last game Max missed until last week v North Melbourne. Preuss demolished Matthew Kreuzer in the ruck with 44 hit outs to 24. Grundy might be a different kettle of fish but his opponent won’t be a pushover.

I've been sucked in to purchase a few items from Instagram Ads during lockdown only for the items to never arrive. When going back to the confirmation emails later the websites are gone. Luckily each time I was able to recoup my costs back from PayPal after a lengthy amount of time. I no longer buy things off of Ads from Instagram.

I take it the teams won't be released until tomorrow evening.
