Dion the Dee?

IT’S NOT OFTEN players end up representing the club they supported as a kid, but if it came to fruition, Calder’s Dion Prestia would love to play for the Demons.

Prestia, a passionate Melbourne supporter, is one of the highly-touted youngsters at this year’s NAB AFL Draft Combine.

    Have to admit that I have not heard that much about him.

    The Dion Prestia Thread? Really? lol

    Would love to see him in the red and blue! Although I think maybe Collingwood or GC.

    Always a greater chance to go to GC. Will be picked up earlier than most think. Starred for Calder and played well wirh Vic metro in 2009 and showed great leadership in captaining Vic Metro this year.I think he also captained Calder Cannons as well. I think he is a quality footballer whom can play as a midfielder- rover, winger type.

    Most likely... Have been focusing more on the KPP this year

    A quality player indeed. He's an 80 metre player, he runs 20 then thumps it 50-60, is quick, tough and has a very accurate and penetrative kick. If Nathan Jones chose to leave, Dion would be the replacement for Jonesy.

    Maybe he will be the direct replacement if Jones is traded...

    Would be nice if we could get him, but he won't be on the board when our second pick roles around. IF we trade some players, we might get an earlier pick to use one him. At the moment, he is bound for somewhere that is not Demonland.

    That's looking less and less likely. Doesn't bother me either way, so long as Jones plays more long and direct.

    Mitch Wallis was Calder and Vic Metro Captain

    "likes to kick a goal" he says

    Maric's size

    Indeed!

    Hmmn, I wonder if Richmond would offer up a pick for Addam?

    Wallis was named captain but did not play many games due to injury.

    and showed great leadership in captaining Vic Metro this year.

    He played the first championship match against Country and was injured in the first 5 mins of Metro's next match against Tassie, he did not play any more of the Carnival due to this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
