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.

    Chris Dawes?

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
