Traded Braydon Preuss [traded with #62 to Melbourne for Tyson]

[Dez!]

You think the reason he wants to move is to be the number 1 ruck but is happy to play 2nd fiddle to Gawn

Strange.

Strange by Preuss yes but like I said Melbourne need another ruck in case Gawn goes down.

 

[CWaffles]

We knocked back a straight swap.

You want Preuss and you have to salary dump with Tyson to pay him.

We'll take him off your hands and give you Preuss & 54 for pick 33, because we aren't targeting Tyson, we want Finlayson.

Strange by Preuss yes but like I said Melbourne need another ruck in case Gawn goes down.

Yeah i agree, in no way is it strange by Melbourne, If we can get a quality big man to agree to come and be a back up then that's an ideal situation!
it is strange that Preuss has decided to come to Melbourne unless we have told him he will get X amount of games or something? i have no idea.

Yeah fair enough

 

[projectv]

Hoping the Saints are looking seriously at picking Preuss up, given our recent trading of Hickey. He'd be our number 1 for certain.

Strange.

Probably wants to learn from the master. Listening to what Melbourne have said. We will be looking at a 2 ruck setup next year.

 

[markm106]

Seems like it’ll be a straight swap for Tyson.

 

[King Kunta]

Done deal. Pruess and 62 for Tyson.

 

[jackess]

North fans must be disappointed. I thought he was worth a first round pick

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Pruess has far more value that Tyson. Dumb trade by North

 

[Dez!]

So what the Roos doing with 33?

 

[Darksidepoints]

Tyson gone and we get a ready to go 2nd ruck.

Great day!

 

[Jibroni]

Tysons best is actually pretty good, which is 1 in every 4 games.

 

[Shadow89]

Such an odd move by North. Kinda strange by Preuss too, given that he would get more opportunity there than at Melbourne, but who knows what the rationale is.

 

[HawkMongrel]

Really think North should have tried to keep him.

Seems like a dimwit though if he wants to play more football but then go and play with one of the best ruckmen in the game.

 

[markm106]

Like this deal. Tyson was surplus in our midfield and we need ruck support.

 

[Toadvine]

Another thread in which Snake_Baker embarrasses himself. When will North supporters learn not to be so over confident at the trade table?

They've been taken to the cleaners again.

 

[juss]

North havent played this one too well imo

 

[Scythe94]

Tyson & 33 for Preuss & 54. Get it done.

Close.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Horrible deal.

 

[Jugada]

Seems like a pretty fair trade to me. Tyson the better player but Demons have a surplus of mids and need a back up ruck

 

[RUNVS]

This trade baffles me as I don't understand why Melbourne went after Preuss, or why Pruess would agree to go to Melbourne since Preuss has gone from being behind Goldstein and not getting a game because of it to now behind Gawn, probably not getting a game because of it. Surely he would have picked a club that is struggling ruck wise, not pick a club with an even better ruckman than the ruckman he was already behind.

 

[La Dispute]

Weird trade for both teams. Preuss is ready to go as a first ruck, but will be well behind Gawn unless they’re planning on playing both.

Surely North could have picked Tyson up for a late pick.

 

[Chaisa]

This trade baffles me as I don't understand why Melbourne went after Preuss

It's easy to see why this happened - Melbourne had no Plan B if Gawn went down.

What is strange though is

1. Preuss agreeing to it (unless Melbourne wanted to play 2 rucks)
2. North wanting Tyson (he's probably better than their non-Cunnington/Higgins inside mids [and the latter probably plays more outside/up forward as he ages] but it's still an area where they have decent depth)

 

[Franky_024]

Dom apparently over the moon with this deal

 

[PoopingHindi]

Horrible deal.

I would have thought Melbourne should be the ones offering the steak knives at the very least.

a bog average, dime a dozen mid for a talented ruck/forward with big potential doesn't seem right to me.
