Reading btw lines..Howes gone

All that article tells me is that there is enough momentum that they'd had to publicly acknowledge the interest and try to fan the flames. I wouldn't count us out yet.

Hes not an A grader anyway, and thats what Roosy wants

Hoepfully we are into a bigger fish

or even just newer fish.

a big fish is good, so also is not so big halfback/midfield sized fish, around the 23 yr bracket?

happy with whatever changes the footy dept can come up with... the only thing I won't be happy with, is not clearing out our non-impact contributors.

I just wonder if he's been put on the back-burner, for a more urgent possibility. there was more than just blue cod hanging around the Prestia rumors.

reckon something is afoot, it has that smell lingering

Nothing is pretty clear at this time of the year.

Carlton where very clear in their assertions that they would honour MM contract as well, things change, things stay the same.

In the end we will know more at the end of trade season...

I'd go further than that rjay and say that at this time of year, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Keep dreaming boys. Time to move on to other targets this year and focus on Prestia again at the end of 2016.

Have you spoken to Mahoney? Viney? Roos? If you haven't then you can't guarantee a thing mate.

Problem is that Prestia is not the one who does the trades. It is GC.

Or Prestia is honouring the final year of his contract to see if the Suns improve under Eade without so many injuries.

Bottom line is that it's pretty clear he isn't going anywhere until the end of next season. If I were GC I'd be backing the club to bounce back next year and that will have a roll on effect for guys like Prestia to re-sign beyond 2016, so I can't see them trading him.

Wiseblood - if we took your approach and moved on we wouldn't have Roos coaching us.

With the priviso of not mortgaging the MCG to get a player, and also no focusing entirely on one player only, I would take no for a final answer when the trade period is concluded. Up until then keep on offering and being creative and see what happens.

I suspect taking no for an answer was old school MFC and the difference between us asking Ross Lyons manager about Ross Lyon ( and Freo being persistant) vs Peter Jackson being told by Roos 3 or 4 times that he wasnt interested in coming to the MFC but not accepting that answer until he either said yes or ran out of time to appoint a coach.

Honoring a contract doesn't mean he has to play for them.

If he is traded to us in a mutually agreed trade (the only kind) he can honor his contact here.

That being said i don't think we'll lands him this year.

All is quiet on the Prestia front... but does anyone else get the feeling that something might be cooking behind the scenes? :roos:

I thought you didn't want him because he wasn't an 'A grader'?

Gold Coast have offered Howe $650,000 a season which we won't match. Means they have to trade with us to get the deal done.

Where'd you hear that? I hope its true

Posturing now.

We have to trade with you so that Howe can go up there, but what do we want from you?

Prestia is off limits. You won't entertain offers for O'Meara.

We've already determined that we don't want Bennell because of his issues.

Bennell and a 2nd rounder you say GC? Keep talking...

If true which I doubt, they really value him. That should then get us a good deal.

Reckon we'll get Prestia.

I wonder if they'd put McKenzie up for trade and would we trade Howe for McKenzie? I'd want slightly more maybe.

Fair trade.

I'd prefer McKenzie.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
