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

[ansonholt]

The only problem I see is that, once he plays, he might make it very hard for the club to drop him back to the VFL. He's already hard to match up on as it is. With another pre-season and an increase in his endurance, he could be anything. If he debuts and has the impact I think he's going to have, it'll be a selection headache for the club, and also somewhat of a player management issue.

I love to have that problem at North if he goes well why drop him

Play him against Mumford - reckon this kid plays better when angry.

.........trade Goldy?!

.........trade Goldy?!

We missed our chance.

 

[ansonholt]

.........trade Goldy?!

It's an option, but no, I wouldn't do it.

My point was that we might have an embarassment of riches and we'll need to play both guys in order to keep both and it could hurt us structurally. All depends of course on how he goes when he does get his chance.

he played a ripper half against in a game against Essendon VFL then McKernan went into the ruck and dominated him around the ground. Not a modern day ruckman at the moment but good enough for backup.

 

[Route57]

Should it be considered problematic if McKernan did in fact dominate?

Braydon's update.. goldie talks 60% of time

No offense - but 30 seconds of braydon talking is about all they could probably squeeze out of him

 

[Saintly35]

Was a fantastic effort in the second time trial.

Good on him, great attitude.

Massive unit also

 

[Twinkletoes]

The second a player shaves his head I'm convinced his s**t's about to get real on field. I'd make it mandatory for the entire squad! A few scars on the face are a bonus.

 

[Hojuman]

Can't wait for his first official onfield tackle.
Some poor crumpled Tiger or such with the " Tweety " birds circling his head and opposition fans baying for blood.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Think he is really going to be a rookie find.

So much to like about the way he plays.

Not many people in this thread have actually mentioned that his ruckwork is exceptional.

He has as much upside as any one on the list in my opinion

You could say he makes having a hybrid seem fashionable again.

Agreed. It worked for Mil Hanna.






Actually, when shagga played flow swans against us at princes park, he came out with a rough as guts shaved head, and if I recall it right, he carved us up. Maybe it was that game where north decided he was a fair trade for swatta.

Anyway, on topic... I've thought for a long time, a team that runs out with every head shaved would be making a big statement that they are a unit, and they are ready to take on anything.

Wasn't there some bet going at the club at one point where whoever lost had to shave their head?

I vaguely recall something along those lines but can't remember what the bet entailed.

I've always had this crazy idea that a team should do this in a big final as underdogs. Favourites during the anthem would be going " wtf " and put them right off.

Kangalotto.

 

[Roozee]

Kangalotto.

Cheers TT. Was starting to eat away at me.

I reckon it was Jess Sinclair who had to lop off his locks on one occasion.

And the trend of North players bobbing up now and then with their hair buzzed off at the time prompted a question in a post match I think which brought it to light.

Some say that when Gav Urquhart lost Kangalotto, with his hair went his superiority over Pendlebury.

 

[muttley45]

With the amount of time Goldy spends on the ground, a bit of man management through the year should see the big Preuss make his debut this season.

Perhaps Goldstein could become our new Rolls Royce or Ferrari with Wellsy's departure? With the slightest niggle or scratch on the paintwork, we send him off to the workshop, allowing the Toyota Preuss to showcase his economically and environmentally superior - though less celebrated, talents.
