Gorringe and Prestia?

I think people like the idea of what Gorringe is supposed to be - a good, well balanced forward/ruckman. However the reality is that he has played 5 games in the last two seasons and has struggled since being drafted.

Perhaps he is worth a spot on the list if his development in the seconds is on the right track, but I'm not that keen on him after looking into it a bit more.

Get a strong feeling our off-season targets boil down to Prestia or nothing.

You put him in a starting midfield with Petracca, Brayshaw, Viney, Jones, VdB and Vince and you have a healthy balance of experience at both ends of the scale, and A-grade talent. It's an imposing group equal if not superior to GWS, which would have us genuinely pressing for a top 8 finish.

If Todd Viney did meet with Clayton then I think he would've been the only Suns player discussed.

Id be super surprised if we were only content to flesh out ONE player

There'll be a shopping list

I doubt Prestia would be the only player targeted when Bennell, Gorringe, O'Meara & Dixon are supposed to be leaving the Suns. It may be that Gold Coast are willing to move other players on & the same could be said for Port Adelaide if they are serious about acquiring Dixon. Roos has been forward in letting everyone know we want to improve our list, I presume we would try & get involved in facilitating as many trades as possible to change our list.

Would take it, probably. Would prefer a second rounder on the way back too, but we simply need to recruit some class into the club, and Prestia is that in spades.

I'd take it in a nanosecond.

So is there any news about Prestia or has this just been brought up for no reason?

I'd like to think we can name every mid fielder in every other team over the course of the summer. I'm hearing strong rumours around Dale Thomas.

Quick, go and start 'The Daisy Thomas thread' so we can watch halfwits argue about his value to our side and how we will only need to trade a 20th rounder pick to land him!

The stuff about him and Mick? Yeah, heard that too. Not that I'm to judge how people choose to love.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
