Dion Prestia Trade Link

Howe + 1st round pick?

Won't be enough.

[BrisbaneDemon 1,574]

Won't be enough.

First round pick + Howe, Matt Jones, Bail, Spencer, Watts, Toumpas, Fitzpatrick, Dawes, Mckenzie, Terlich, ??? reckon that will get it done.......

The articles talks of his re-signing in 2013 as a big win for GCS and that it runs deeper than merely his signature. A number of others signed on afterwards. Yeah, okay, but it doesn't mean he'll stay past this contract. The article reads like he'd be open to offers if the club offering was challenging or finals bound.

The MFC was a train wreck last season and he re-signed before Roos was announced as the new coach. If he was coming out of contract this year, we'd be in with a great shot. He's not out of reach, IMO. I thought he was, but having read that article, his attitude comes across as almost 'I may as well stay here', rather than 'I love playing with this group' or what have you. I'd get in his ear at the end of this year and aim to try and lure him at the end of 2015. We can dream.

Melbourne's move was far too late, Tim Harrington was largely responsible for the fcuk up and that contributed to his sacking!

Dion's family wants him home, but Victorian clubs are lining up already even though his contract includes 2016, lets hope he comes to us if he comes home to at all.

Would be more than enough. Thats a massive overpay and if we are giving up say pick 5 an Howe we had better get a legit star back.

Prestia is a very good player and volume ball winner, but he is no star.

As we've seen before, a top 5 pick doesn't mean you'll get a star.

I'd stick with Prestia over risking trying to develop a top 5 pick.

not if that pick was Bradshaw or Petracca, or even Salem.

We get stuff right these days.

Prestia is just 22, has 74 games under his belt and averages high 20s in disposals. He's A grade. No brainer for mine.

If..... if we win 6-8 games this year and we throw a truckload of money at him, he might just give it serious thought.

Should we only win 2-3, no chance.

[Young Blood 2,635]

he and viney could be 'the little guys' running through the midfield.

cute.

Should we only win 2-3, no chance.

And we will win between 6-8 games.

[Moonshadow 17,677]

Love your optimism Adam. Hope you are right!

Prestia would immediately and dramatically improve our midfield.
