    Is Prestia really only 175cm. If so hard to believe that he competes with the Kennedys, Wines and Oliver's of the world in those packs

    Sam McClure (who i find increasingly annoying) said on 3aw the front runners for Prestia are Tigers and Blues, with the dees in the frame. Surely of those clubs the dess would be a better destination for him, particularly given his connections to the club.

    I know I will get howled down for this, but I don't rate Prestia as highly as others on here and more to the point, don't see him as one of our major needs.

    I think we need more outside pace and I don't think he is that. We also need another key back and a second ruck.

    If the Tigers offer to Hurley is correct, I would imagine they would win a bidding war with us, if he leaves the Bombers, as we have a number to satisfy. I can see the Tigers letting a few go to make a fair bit of room in the cap.

    I would be looking carefully at the GWS talent pool, as they have plenty not getting a game.

    Not on my "must' get list" either . He's icing.  We need more cake still.

    Sam McClure has a massive hard on for both those teams so it's not surprising he suggested them.

    Tim Watson said on Talking Footy last night that his mail was Prestia is 100% leaving GC. 

    I thought we already agreed on demonland he was leaving? 

    FWIW i have a cousin playing for the same team with the same player manager and he has told me Prestia is leaving.

    It is just whether he comes to Melbourne.

    He gave  no opinion on the likelihood of him choosing the dees?

    The way the media works is to get as many people viewing their product as possible.  Carlton and Richmond have more supporters than us so it is better to name them as "frontrunners " while mentioning us as an afterthought. 

    He's definitely leaving GC and I would say we are the frontrunner assuming we want him and he's willing to come at the right price.

    I think we will try and get Steven May instead. 

    Why, or is that just pulling something out of your clacker?

    Can't see Prestia going to Richmond or the Blues. Richmond are in for some pain and a rebuild. The Blues aren't going anywhere fast until they dramatically improve their list. I don't care that they've won four games this year. They're being held together by performing B graders and Bolton structures. Prestia will come to Melbourne. Bookmark it.

    Well, the lack of a key defender is a glaring hole in our list...so yeah, it's a guess. Pretty reasonable one I think. 

     

    Not to mention Brett Anderson (tweeted) said that Michael Hurley and Steven May are our no.1 targets (not sure if he is guessing as well).

    Ah ok. I dont listen to commercial TV or radio, so I dont hear that sort of stuff.

     

    Would love May. Tough as nails, and not afraid to push people around. Something we lack in our key defenders. A Gorilla Killa.

    Surely would cost a lot less than Hurley.

    Main concern is that he's not very tall. Only 190 cm. 

     

    Nvm...193 cm.

    • 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.
