Dion Prestia



Recommended Posts

But why would you advocate we give up picks in next year's draft which is far, far stronger?

Because he's clueless

You refuse to trade pick 6, but you'll happily trade Gawn, leaving us with only 1 ruckman on the list next year being Jake Spencer! Geez, i know which of the two i'd happily trade first.

yes, for the Right trade I would. To get something/somewhere, you have to give something in return.

For a Prestia I would swap, Medical examination pending. For a part of a Dangerfield trade, I would. For a part of an O'Meara trade I would. For a part of Luke Parker trade I would. For Josh Kennedy I would, but would want they're 3rd pick in return, because of age differences. For Treloar I would but would want GWS 3rd Rnd pick as well.

so yes, all players on our list are tradable for the right price, even Jesse, if we got Fyfe & a young forward or an early 2nd Rnd pick.

So you think we should take a punt on a young kid in the draft instead of a proven gun?

Also I think you time int eh sport will be short if you walk the next time a draft pick goes wrong, happens all the time to all clubs, that is why taking a punt on a kid when a gun is in the offering would be stupid in the extreme.

no, but it depends on the trade deal.

yes I would trade for Pres but not our first pick. GCSuns need some conservative maturity, & of course they want picks for renewal. we do not have to use Pick 6... it can also wait (the trade) til next year.

so I want both, but am prepared to wait it out... as far as walking over a draft pick, we have loused them up with very poor people in charge of recruiting, & our development, & our club culture stunk.

it had nothing to do with which picks we had at our disposal.

......... aggressive trading doesn't mean jumping at any deal going.

Tigers are after Tyson don't like the sound of that.

if they want him, they can pay for him; they're 1st Rnd Pick-12 & a player of our liking.

Why in God's name would Richmond want Tyson?

Anyway, could work out okay.

Prestia to Melbourne

Tyson to Richmond

Ellis to GC

this works OK I think

All BS aside, IIRC Richmond were chasing Tyson since the day he was drafted. Not sure how concrete this part is but word was that they had been in Tysons ear all along and he wanted to get to Richmond but they couldn't facilitate a trade. That's when the Dee's jumped in.

I'd be surprised if he wanted to leave Melbourne now though.

not necessarily so. anything can be worked out, if the right deal comes along.

for just that reason, every club will do well in a deep draft. not so in a shallow pool. shallow pool means the early bird gets the worm.

deeper pools fish all season long, as they don't heat up & dry out as quickly in the sunlight... so a good feed can be had by all, then it comes down to development at the clubs.

don't trade your early picks in lean years.

and? this year?

is it he is like a rat on a sinking ship, the green seas are always greener on that side? have the Tiges been in his ear over last Summer, Is he disenchanted this year 2015? is he a front runner? is he upset his GWS mates played well & nearly made finals?

how is his mind going Mm?

Prestia is a very good player. I like Ben Kennedy too and the Pies supporters I know rate him. But they're both dwarves and we lack size in our midfield already.

And one of them has a fairly serious injury, that has stopped him playing for most of the year.

Listed at 186 on MFC site and I reckon that is generous.

I am really surprised that the numbers 186 appear anywhere on the MFC site. The devils number. :-(((

Surely they would crib a bit - 185 or 187!

he still isn't big, he doesn't play any bigger than Viney does.

Vince doesn't play like Glen Archer did, or Wines.

so he plays below his height, you could put it? as does JWatts.

we lack players who hit above their weight.

well you better get off the hops, get onto some vitamins Middy.

Tyson hasn't done anything since mid-late last season IIRC.

is he happy or unhappy middy? are you his manager, or former teammate perhaps ? ?

it is the silly season after all.

I think you sound like a silly Pies supporter troll, or just maybe E'd himself having whiteline fever. enjoy big boy. :cool:

Prestia's height should play little part in the discussion. One of the top 5 clearance players in the league when up and going. As if he's not perfect for us. Okay, so he's not 6'4, but who cares if he plays like he does?

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
