What is the state of Prestia's contract?

    Coniglio made the sub today.

    Maybe there is something to the rumours?

    Which rumor?

    Re-signed until the end of 2016, I believe. Gun.

    According to a seeming Demonland rumour, apparently an opposition recruiter said 'don't be surprised to see Coniglio in a Melbourne jumper next season'. Or some such thing.

    I will be surprised if that happens. Also very happy..

    The kid is an absolute gun

    I'd normally dismiss the rumour, but he's too much of a gun to be playing as the sub, in my eyes.

    All things and or likelihoods aside , Coniglio is pretty well just the scenario Roos seeks out. An underloved player at another club who could fill a role ( better than currently so improving the mix ) at our club.

    Something like this will sought after whether he or another(s)

    to get coniglio would take a near exact replica of the tyson deal, however...

    not sure coniglio is worth our top5 pick on his own and i dont think gws will have as many first rnd picks to sweeten the deal

    rather than go after a specialised mid i would prefer to draft next years kolajazzkneey (good kick rebounding hbf) as this is more and more the area attacking chains begin

    If my read on history is anything near ok with PR he prefers a near to or ready to go who is avail as unloved underutilised or frustrated at another club in preference to a raw draftee.

    Wouldn't surprise me at all if we gave up our 1st pick for a player and another lower 1st round pick. Id probably prefer that truth be known.

    And GWS have an end-of-1st-round compo pick.

    Just saying.

    Craig bird of the swans is out of contract at the end of the year, wants to stay at the swans but the salary cap squeeze makes things difficult for them, i wonder if a second round pick might lure him down?

    Shame, he would be one to throw everything at. Love him.

    Maybe Zaharakis will look to leave as the only player to reject injections once it's all done and dusted....

    As much as I would love to see him in the red & blue - probably the only Methadon player I would want in the red & blue, he has unfortunately resigned with them until the end of 2017 so wipe him off the list.

    I rate goldsack and he is a free agent?

    Hahahahahhaa appparently Richmond are really keen on picking up Bootsma! Why would anyone want him.

    As I've stated it multiple times and recently don't mark Tom Mitchell off your lists. I think he might be a major target.

    He is now in his third AFL season and since joining there have been no media releases of him signing on. So unless if he has re-signed without the public knowing, he will likely be out of contract at the years end (could potentially be next year but an initial 4 year contract is unlikely).

    As of late he has struggled to crack their strong side even though he has had some phenomenal games in the seconds (could this be due to holding off contract talks... who knows that's just speculation). The Swans practically have no room in their salary cap to play with with the likes of Franklin, Tippett, Kennedy, Jack, McVeigh, and Hannebery (Goodes on the veterans list). Something has to give sooner or later.

    As for originally being a F/S draftee, his father Barry also changed clubs multiple times during his career so there is nothing stopping Tom from doing the same.

    As for this common chestnut that he also also friends with Jack Viney, and the Viney family it doesn't count for much but still counts for a small something.

    By no means am I saying he's on the way, but as for the kind of player he is, something will have to give in Sydney's salary cap for when he falls out of contract (that's if they want to keep him).

    I was told by a mate who works in Richmond's gym haha, they are looking at picking him up as a rookie

    Aaron Young has re-signed with Port.

    Moore and O'Shea remain OOC.

    Wouldn't mind trying to lure Moore back to Victoria. A good size with some pace and skill, but not afraid of the rough stuff.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
