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

[DarkPhoenix]

Are you suggesting this is what Melbourne promised Preuss? Highly doubtful, given, you know, Gawn ...

Probably should have worded it better.

They gave assurances that he was a priority and would get game time alongside Gawn.

Whereas we wanted him to develop to a point where he could take over from Goldy once he retired in a year or two.

I think they set out to play hm regularly, but when their game plan was stuffed by the 6-6-6 rule and they realised how bad their spread was compared to other sides, they quickly shelved the idea of playing a lumbering prime mover with the tank of a moped.

What a bunch of amateurs, being blind sided by the 6-6-6 rule. Oh, wait a minute ...

LOL, Terry The List Manager has taken 20 rounds of football to realise what we all concluded about 20 nano-seconds after the trade was completed:

Gawn and Preuss never going to work: Wallace

Terry Wallace believes Melbourne's Max Gawn-Braydon Preuss partnership was destined to fail from the beginning.

Dropped 9kgs

 

[King Corey]

Interesting as his size IS his selling point.

That said at 206cm and a good frame he'd still be imposing.

 

[The Warlord]

The Dees effectively traded pick 2 (Josh Kelly) for Preussy, Christian Salem and Jayden Hunt.

It’s fitting the big fella is a talking point this weekend as he is most certainly one of Brads success stories with regard to Preussy and his journey so far.
Thankfully young Brayden can look back at that fateful day on Errol St where he listened to and took up Brads advice and sat down with ‘The Guru’ for a coffee. Best $4.20 he ever spent.

‘The Guru’ was the only way into the housing market and Brayden dove in head first. What an achievement it’s turned out to be.

As we look back today nearly two years on since the contract was signed to earn $1.2 mil over his 3 years with the Demons - just WOW. This is absolutely the feel good story to get behind.

Now sitting 4th in line for a gig, with a horribly out of form key forward and an 18yo stringbean playing his 5th game both ahead of you for a game - Preussy mate you can finally kick your feet up, enjoy the time off and say ‘I owe it all to you Scotty’.

I wonder how much gear $1.2m would buy someone?

As an obvious guess I’d say in his case, 3 years worth.

Injured again

 

[Devington]

Injured again again.

Was supposed to play his first game of the year this week and then tore his pec.

Since he left us, it's like he's been on the rich man's dole. Gets paid heaps every week, rarely plays.

25 years old with 18 games under his belt. 8 in his 4 years with us, and 10 in his 2 years at Melbourne. Even for big men who are notorious for being given extra time to come along, that's a pretty remarkable statline.

 

[Snake_Baker]

A great career in film, television and door security awaits the big fella.

Really, the bloke should be commended for getting 9 years of footy contracts out of AFL clubs.

fair few ruckman end up going down this path (especially those that weren’t selected in the first/second round). Hickey/Pittonet/Vardy ect are all journeyman types. I still reckon Pruess will end up playing a fair bit of footy for GWS.

Maybe he's just a big fan of Carlos Kaiser?

Looks like The Spruce Goose Preuss may debut this weekend for GWS.

He has certainly parleyed being tall and not very skillful at football into a comfortable career.

1 week for nearly killing Brodie Grundy.

He was actually looking really good too.

12 disposals, 6 marks and 6 tackles.

He started scratchy but improved as the game went on. No sign of the poor tank that impeded him for years. Silly action on Grundy and deserves the week.

GWS will be a real force if Preuss can maintain the form he showed in the second half (and cut out the silly acts).
