Interesting one developing here. Suspect our LM team are monitoring it very closely...
The two DeKoning bros playing together for the Blues would be unbelievable.

Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
"red lining the salary cap" yeah, no shit. Everyone is.Back injury upon drafting and I think an ankle this year keeping him out for long stints.
Brother out with an ACL, pretty sure Trent went down with the same.
No thanksBrayden Preuss DFA? Doesnāt even need to play, if he gets on the park heās an excellent relief ruck which is always nice to have - even if itās in the VFL to assist Hudson OāKeefe with his development (stop him getting bashed)

He played 2 quarters in total, in 2 games. Expecting four gals per game in 2025, the standard has been set! Moir for the Coleman Medal next yearYeah but it doesnāt have to be 30 now does it?
Moir played 2 games and averaged a goal a game. Maybe thereās 23 goals right there

Right, and why is that?No thanks
Why him and not Cooper Keogh from Coburg?Brayden Preuss DFA? Doesnāt even need to play, if he gets on the park heās an excellent relief ruck which is always nice to have - even if itās in the VFL to assist Hudson OāKeefe with his development (stop him getting bashed)
No current season stats available
That was 5 years ago, the guy is below average. Give me Pitto over him every day of the weekRight, and why is that?
Could do way worse than pick up a ruck that is definite AFL calibre for nothing - would be better than Pitto if he were fit too. He belted Kreuzer in the ruck in 2019.
Canāt be wasting list spots. We are short on them as it is, and picking a 3rd string ruckman isnāt good use of themRight, and why is that?

Because Preuss has had those sort of hitout numbers in the AFLWhy him and not Cooper Keogh from Coburg?

3rd string? He would smash both of our rucks - TDK would play substantially better around the ground but he would beat the brakes off of both our AFL exposed rucks in pure hitoutsCanāt be wasting list spots. We are short on them as it is, and picking a 3rd string ruckman isnāt good use of them
You're talking about a guy that has played 0 AFL games in 3 of his last 4 seasons...but he'd smash both of our rucks?Because Preuss has had those sort of hitout numbers in the AFL

Just think heās a shrewd pickup that offers us security and stops us having to expose midfielders in the ruck in the event Pitto or TDK are unavailable
Would be on AFL minimum payments - teams pickup DFAās all the time
He was behind Goldstein and Gawn - both of which were AA superstar rucks at the time he played for those clubsYou're talking about a guy that has played 0 AFL games in 3 of his last 4 seasons...but he'd smash both of our rucks?
28 games in 10 seasons (with 3 clubs) suggests that he absolutely isn't AFL standard at all.
He was behind Goldstein and Gawn - both of which were AA superstar rucks at the time he played for those clubs
At GWS he has had injuries - just a free hit for a ruck that serves as an insurance policy, or a cushion for OāKeefe
Worst case he doesnāt play a game - who cares?
Our forward line stank without Harry and Charlie. We need the 3rd forward option.
I respectfully disagree, and people have agendas with Jack so nothing will change their minds with him
So sign him up with the VFL team specifically. I don't understand why we'd want another tall ruckman that's slow and in this case, doesn't play.He was behind Goldstein and Gawn - both of which were AA superstar rucks at the time he played for those clubs

De Konings reunited? Why the Blues must pounce on this big Cat
If the Blues are to advance from pretenders to true premiership contenders, they must put all their resources towards luring Geelong defender Sam De Koning to Princes Park.www.theage.com.au
Finding myself agreeing with Kane far too much lately
Please Carlton, be aggressive and fill a desperate need!
People can have any opinions they want, donāt share the same opinion as mine I could care less itās just my opinion is that Jack gets overly criticised and itās due to other reasons than his performance on the ground and no matter what he does it wonāt change how they think about him.People have agendas, because they donāt hold the same opinions as you?
In the 8 years previous to this one, heās only kicked 19 goals once. Stating he could kick 30 goals next year is advantageous, specially coming off an ACLā¦
Heād be likely starting the year behind Kemp, Moir & (if rumours are true, possibly McGovern)
Itās time for us to move past the injury prone types. A list spot is valuable.. we are finally starting to understand that as a club after having it made glaringly obvious in front of our eyes with unavailability.
Suppose there is the route that you sign him as a VFL ruck and if his body and form holds up you let him know he'll get a MSD call up. Hadn't really considered that. I do get the injury argument too, maybe that's something we really need to avoid given how awful our injury list has been in recent times.So sign him up with the VFL team specifically. I don't understand why we'd want another tall ruckman that's slow and in this case, doesn't play.
Just use him as a battering ram.Right, and why is that?
Could do way worse than pick up a ruck that is definite AFL calibre for nothing - would be better than Pitto if he were fit too. He belted Kreuzer in the ruck in 2019.
They also need to bring in Bailey Smith and pick 16-18 is not going to do that.Geelong need to hold onto SDK, no way they letting him go that easy.
Could be a shot at landing him if wants to move.Geelong need to hold onto SDK, no way they letting him go that easy.
Wonder if both the DeKoning brothers would take slight unders to play together![]()
