Dion Prestia

In tonight's Footy Classified, each panellist made their big call for the season.

When it came to Garry Lyon's big call, he stated that a key GC player will return to Victoria next year. When pressed further, he basically said it was Dion Prestia.

I may be drawing a long bow but could Lyon be hinting that the Dees are after him?

Lyon obviously has a connection to Melbourne and we all know that Prestia is a life long Dee fan and his parents are influential supporters/members of the club.

I'm probably making something out of nothing but how good would this kid be at the Dees! Maybe we could deal Howe to GC if he wants out.

    I had connections with Prestia school mate from assumption. We were heavily into him end of 2012 and during 2013. But with all the drama and [censored] that went through 2013 and Neeldy getting sacked he picked the safer option by staying with the suns. His family is heavily involved at the footy club last i heard.

    definitely wouldn't rule it out at this stage.

    Thanks BBP. It's not really a big call for THIS season though is it, given that we're talking about the end of 2016? Pretty premature from Gaz. He's contracted for another 18 months.

    Was watching but missed the Prestia bit. I assumed it was Gary Ablett, but has he re-signed? If it is Pretia he will probably go to the Hawks, you know the team with the bottomless salary cap.

    Cue Prestia coming out and tearing the game apart on Saturday!

    He's a jet. Plays just like Jonesy. Wins it in close then bursts in to space and uses it well.

    But I don't really love these rumours, especially at this time of year. Not sure Garry Lyon has done anyone any favours.

    I don't think Lyon has any real contacts left at the MFC. He's pretty much cut ties with us. He's one of the few former players/officials in the media who doesn't use his position to advocate for his club. In all honestly I'd be shocked if anyone at the club was giving him inside info.

    Contacts mean SFA these days pants. It's a free for all now. Offer enough incentive, either money of success, add the right set of circumstances and trade bait, and no one cares about how much time is left on the contract. Exhibit one: Boyd and Griffen.

    We had a cracked - he said no. Family ties mean little. He won't be coming home.

    GNF - the guy that told us we offered two picks for Dangerfield and that Jake Lever was a lock at pick 3?

    Well it provided a lot of entertainment in the trade period if nothing else!

    So what would Prestia be worth to us? What might get the deal done?

    Suns will want a lot. First round pick and a young player or Maybe Jeremy Howe or Jack Watts (not that I want either gone, just what Suns might want)

    Definitely a first rounder mate and most likely a player.. Howe?

    The Suns will want more than just a draft pick and they will only want the players that we won't let go like N.Jones, Tyson, Hogan and Brayshaw (if he steps up) the rest they won't be interested in. Zero chance of him coming to Melbourne.

  • Quote

    Know his sister very well (who is a massive dees supporter) and there is no chance of him coming to the Melbourne, he loves the GC Suns.

  • Quote

    We could offer him 750,000 per year. But then he might get depressed playing for the not so mighty Dees, retire, have a miraculous cure and then go and play for Geelong.

    There are a lot more clubs in Victoria than Melbourne

    Certainly are drawing a long bow BBP

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
