Dion Prestia Trade Link

Out of contract, PSD pick for sure!

Is this possible?

I assume the PSD draft order is the same as Nab AFL draft order. If this is possible we could offer him money that GC couldn't and pick him up with pick 1-3 of PSD. But he would probably be hated for it by GC fans if he left for nothing.

In any case get it done Melboune - he is the perfect age bracket and has proven potential

    Their fan base will only grow (while ours shrinks)

    I don't think many high draft picks would just walk out on their club for nothing - sounds like something that would happen to us though

    Pass on that one big time, but we could repatriate all our Queenslanders.

    Tell you what, I'd almost go Prestia for TMac, straight swap.

    It's enough for people to be suggesting Dion Prestia... but to say Shiel as well??

    If Prestia's family have some ties at the club there's a tenuous link but why the hell would Shiel want to come to us (over ANY of the other 17 clubs) and why would GWS let him go?

    I know we need a good news story / hope at the moment but this is ridiculous - we're only setting ourselves up to be disappointed. I'm not saying it's not worth trying but let's not get carried away!

    With a name like yours, you are quite the contrarian! ;)

    All this talk about taking him in the PSD relies on the assumption that Prestia wants to come to Melbourne, and that is a big assumption...

    Gold coast are better than melbourne, why would he want to come here?

    Why would he, Neeld has just said we are 5 years away. Way to attract players.

    Yep, not a great tactic in terms of recruiting.

    How the hell are we supposed to keep players like Chip and Garland when Neeld is spouting crap like that? I know it is probably true but he should have just kept his mouth shut.

    Get a decent proven coach which will happen at the end of the season. I know that Prestia was linked to Essendon on draft night with Atley but Heppell drifted and obviously we are happy at that.

    If you could get a deal done and doesn't cost too much Melbourne should jump at it. Just remember Essendon wanted Caddy and they went to AFL mediation and nothing happened. I think for memory we offered a draft pick and Pears or Hooker and they wanted Hurley.

    Wonder of they'd be interested in sellar or Gillies?

    imagine Prestia reading the news and seeing that Neeld wants 5 years to build a competitive team

    you think hes going to come here now?

  • Quote

    Hardly worth noting now because so much has changed but Neeld was able to convince Clark to join the MFC when home-sick with an offer from his home town club.

    Prestia looks a smart player.

    Prestia, Thomas and so on, the players we desperately need to avoid 5 more years of torture, as well as Toumpas, Kent, Matt jones, Terlich thinking maybe they were better off in the VFL.

    Maybe we gan get Gazza & Jäger for those two players. Stranger things have happened... Dawes for pick 20.

    I was thinking about joining Melbourne but then we smashed them and Neeld said they are 5 years away.Stuff that. I'll stay here.

    After watching the Suns tonight I'd be surprised if any of them were going anywhere, they are going to be magnificent.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
