Dion Prestia

Bit early in the season for this s h I t.

You're right, wait till after the game on Saturday instead.

 

To be fair as well, he was the guy who said in no uncertain terms that Neeld had gotten the entire playing group off side and needed to go. He was also the guy who said that Paul Roos was a certainty to sign on.

blind freddy could have picked the first.

Who is th guys and why do we want him?

Maybe you should watch more footy?

Garry Lyon never said he was coming to the Dees. He said he was coming back to Melbourne the city not our club. He could end up anywhere would be handy.


Stupid comment, and if you are a true supporter you will admit that is a stupid comment, because he has done lots for this club, like many players..

His decisions of late gave been bad ones, but done with the right intentions.

Actually dingbat it isn't a comment, it's a question.

If we could snare him for our first round pick (pick 2-6) and a player not in our long term plans or a player like Toumpas and our second round pick I'd be happy to trade for him.

Probably the same as his cousins.

"Wow...Melbourne's pretty [censored]."


At least they don't have a drug problem..


Jack Viney and Brayshaw go alright. Reckon I could work with them, Vince and Petracca.

Purple on the Footy Show tonight adding fuel to the fire (or, more likely, trying to derail the deal) but essentially saying we're desperately trying for Dion to join us as early as next year, regardless of his contract status. Saints also very keen on him, so he's definitely being chased by Victorian clubs and disenchanted up North.

Apparently Gold Coast had a formal meeting with Dion, Rodney, Dion's dad and Dion's manager last week to clarify what was going on. So there's something in the works, but it remains to be seen what eventuates.

Straight swap for Howe would suit both parties (well, us :)), especially if Dixon leaves.

They wouldn't take Howe by himself for Prestia. Prestia is worth a top 5 pick.

In a draft that's widely recognised as weak, our first pick and a player such as Howe would be more likely IMO, if it happens at all. Can't see it happening, but stranger things have happened

The kitchen sink has been involved in an activity not unlike being thrown at young dion.

  • 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.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
