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.

    Zac Smith was on the outer for a while, now it seems to be Gorringe.

    I guess you could say, Gorringe is the new Zac.

    Thank you, I'm here all the time, try the fish.

    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.

    Could be first round and Howe for Prestia.

    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.

    Is this you speculating, mate or have you heard something? Seems fair to me.

    Would want their third rounder back to trade for Melksham. Should be late 30's.

    Option two.

    I wish people wouldn't do that.

    I don't even understand why bing181 put his quote in this thread when it's do with Hogan and nothing to do with Prestia... unless I'm missing something.

    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.

    Well that was 3 minutes of my life i wont get back..

    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!

    It didn't really take you three minutes to read that, did it Daz?

    Words like 'speculating' and 'nanosecond' required a dictionary check for ol' dazzle... ;)

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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
