I actually believe Preuss is an above average tap ruckman already but needs to work on his fitness and agility. He’s only 24 (I think ) so his upside is immense considering most ruckmen, including Max, don’t really peak until mid to late 20’s. His attitude is impressive ,as evidenced by his best on field performance for Casey yesterday, despite having just been demoted. i think we’ll be raving about our twin peaks sooner rather than later

Senior Demons JKH , Preuss, Melksham, Stretch and Hore all played well

Casey win

LeFau goals .. Casey 2 goals up

Goal to Lockhart .. up by 5 points

Goal to Sandy

Yes, same guy

Jordan goals and Casey hits lead

Dunkley goals and there’s 1 point in it

Poor umpiring decisions lead to Sandy goal

Preuss dominating

Goal to Melksham. Casey 3 points down now

Marty Hore takes 4 strong marks and Casey kicks 3 goals in succession

Gone into hibernation

Is your logic akin to Buckley’s recommendation of Neeld prior to us appointing him?

Jack Watts is responsible for our demise

Jones - steady and reliable Viney - important until injured Fritsch - outstanding before turnover Salem - prolific and effective Oliver - a dynamic game Harmes - many impressive moments Gawn - strong work ethic J. Wagner - a nothing game Lever - loose and unconvincing C.Wagner - rarely stood out Brayshaw - excellent tagging game Hibberd - disposal was haphazard Lewis - season best game Neal-Bullen - continued to underwhelm May - held his own Petracca - some isolated involvement Jetta - crucial costly errors Hunt - was rarely involved Petty - promising but wayward Frost - never died wondering Preuss - little to commend Lockhart - enjoyed the scenery

Viney - prolific but wasteful Jones - age was obvious Jetta - a slow liability May - desire not questioned Frost - an impressive game Lever - fortunately survived game Salem - season worst game Brayshaw - season worst game Gawn - should have dominated Harmes - was surprisingly loose Petracca - an impressive game Petty - we’ve found one Oliver - uncharacteristically quiet game Lewis - an irrelevant performance Fritsch - a brain fade Neal-Bullen - devoid of skills Hunt - tried but failed Preuss - didn’t take chances Hibberd - just a shadow Lockhart - time to rest Dunkley - the wrong brother Hannan - continued uninspiring season

The article didn’t suggest the Dees should trade Oliver, but rather the Gold Coast should target him... there’s a big difference. If I were in charge of an horrendously underperforming side, I’d make overtures to ANY talented player also

Jones - consistently found targets Viney - bullocking and courageous McDonald - outstanding until injured Fritsch - great first half Oliver - courageous and tireless Preuss - finally justified selection Harmes - important but fumbly Salem - continued impressive season Neal-Bullen - just a game Petracca - brilliant in bursts Frost - heart in mouth Hunt - took his chances Brayshaw - disappointing season continued Weideman - failed to impose Lewis - was rarely sighted Hibberd - rarely inspired confidence May - safe and composed Hannan - some rare glimpses Dunkley - deer in headlights Petty - quiet before injury Lockhart - was he playing? Hore - will be missed

So far Preuss is holding his own in the centre

Just wished our coach ‘all the best’ ( 3 wonder )for today, after crossing his path in East Malvern earlier this morning.

All the above are even more reason for Preuss to be included whether Maxy plays or not. Preuss’s size makes him an X factor who is hard to match up on, let alone predict. The selectors must ignore the fact that Max may be dominant( if fit ) and make life difficult for Carlton by selecting 2 imposing figures. Surely Preuss is likely to be more effective and useful than any of Weideman, Smith, and T.Mac , even if it’s just by imposing the fear factor So in my view its Preuss for Smith

Viney - prolific but wasteful Jones - usually found targets Salem - skillful but slow Oliver - rarely disposed well Brayshaw - continued poor year Harmes - had little impact Petracca - irrelevant second half Hannan - has exhausted welcome Fritsch - had some impact May - great first half Frost - terrible under pressure McDonald - back to rubbish Neal-Bullen - slow and embarrassing Hunt - little to commend Lockhart - some occasional glimpses Hibberd - was rarely sighted Petty - far from convincing Baker - keep it simple Gawn - was comprehensively beaten Hore - loose and disappointing Weideman - played amateur football Smith - tried but failed
