Past #31: Braydon Preuss - traded to Melbourne FC with #62 - NMFC received Dom Tyson - thx Preussy

[LuvtheKangas]

He was completely gassed in the second half.

Absolutely zero improvement in that area.

His first quarter showed the talent we all know he has and the rest of the game showed his main weakness.

 

[Engimal v3]

Nah, already you could see Sydney working out how to exploit him.

Let's hope that nobody figures out how to exploit Tom Campbell, other than by being a decent ruckman.

Yes, very true.

I'm with others who reckon letting King Dingaling Wagner go was a bad move.

Yep, always going to be his problem.

 

[King Corey]

The eternal conundrum - try to build a tank on a giant aggressive talented player..

..or hope that a smaller, less talented player with a better tank grows 6cm taller and becomes more talented.

It's confused many great minds.

And the fact that he stuffed his shoulder just before quarter time may not have been ideal for him either.

Not ideal, sure. But he was struggling to get to contests after that, which relates more to mobility.

Yeah you're probably right, probably just a coincidence that he went from starring to struggling just after he stuffed his shoulder.

No coincidence - he's always lacked a tank. If he was hampered by the shoulder, then surely they would have taken him off? Or at least strapped it?

He had most of the second quarter in the medical room, when he came out it was strapped. When he came back on he struggled, before he was starring. . . . .join the dots.

You don't run with your shoulder. Even before he went off he was beginning to flag.

Like a stiffy after a drunken night out while you fumble in the dark for a dinger.

We're obviously arguing with a Preuss family member ...

You don't run with your shoulder - of course not! Who bothers to swing their arms when they run?

 

[benbanjo]

Playing Pruess in a forward line with BB wouldn't work, unless you seround them with Betts, Charlie cameron, Walters, and a prime LT.

All good mate. Time will tell. Perhaps you're right and he has developed a tank, but there's no denying that lack of tank was what held him back at North (that and the personality clashes ...).

Our supercoach much prefers people with personalities like Goldstein.

Wayne Carey's shoulders were completely rooted - it stopped him taking overhead marks, but not running.

I like Preussy, I wanted him to succeed, but he doesn''t have the tank and never will.

Wonder why he is on an AFL list then?

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Wonder why he is on an AFL list then?

Especially Melbourne's. The one club that doesn't need a ruck.

Or are you suggesting Preuss is a forward? Because he doesn't have the tank to play a game in the ruck, perhaps?

Because he's huge and has OK skills and if he had a tank, would be a very valuable asset.

According to some he doesn't even have the tank to play as a forward and yet he would get a gig on most AFL teams lists. What do the AFL coaches know more than internet types?

If he's so great, why has he been on lists for four years for 10 games?

As someone said above, he's the new Dan Currie, will be on lists for years, never getting games.

Um?? Perhaps because Brad Scott preferred Goldstein? Could that be it?

But Preussy is so good! And Goldy was dropped in that time. And Brad tried Goldy and Presussy together!

Um . . . . Brad Scott preferred Goldstein. He really likes and rates Goldstein.
