    An article about GCS OOC players.  . http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-season-2016-david-swallow-keen-for-a-longterm-deal-say-gold-coast-suns-20160621-gpod3i.html#ixzz4CC8iSusG  The article says both Swallow and O'Meara have been unhappy about the medical advice and rehab respectively.  Tough situation for talented young guys trying to make it in the AFL. Motivation to leave?

    On Prestia it says:  "Prestia, averaging more than 26 disposals in 11 matches, met with his manager Marty Pask last week, with money not the primary concern over a new deal. He has been linked to Melbourne, Richmond and Carlton"

    I find that encouraging because of the three clubs we offer the best prospects, if he decides to leave GCS!

    I suppose it comes down to what he's looking for in a new club.  Playing list?  Yes, hands down.

    However if his main reason for wanting to leave Gold Coast is their medical/rehab team and their handling of his injuries, I'm not sure where we stand in the league for these facilities and staff...

    Out of interest, what is the one trait that separates Sloane from Jones?

    Is hair a trait?

    As others have mentioned....its not ALL about the playing list. Facilities come into that as well. I think we would be behind both Richmond and Carlton on that score. Still....we must at least be thereabouts.

    It's a fair mane. He's got Jonesy comfortably covered there.

    The only other trait Sloane could be considered elite in is "significant other". Belinda Riverso. She could riversonto me any time.

    We're not at the Junction Oval anymore. AAMI Park  stands up very well to anything Princess Park or Punt Road has to offer.

    Sounds like he knows what he's talking about, reiterated when he stated Richmond and Collongwood had overrated their list.

    If you go to the one v one feature on the AFL app and do Jack Viney vs Dion Prestia it's amazing how similar they are as players, most of their stats are very close with Dion just ahead in a few areas.

    Those who aren't interested in Prestia, would you say no to Viney as well? Both are leaders too. Prestia being the VC of the Suns...

    Being a slow night, I read the crapola on the AFL site about who's chasing who in the trade caper for next year. Nick Bowen was the 'expert,' and therefore must be the understudy to 'guru' Callum Twomy.

    Anyway the gist of it was (i.e., rumour mongering), we are into Prestia (along with Richmond, not so much Carlton) and Hibberd. The only mention of Hurley was that he would either be at Essendon or an interstate club :( .

    There is interest in Jetta (one other Vic Club and presumed WA club/s), T-Mac (Sydney) and Watts which might explain the contract delays. All expected to stay at Melb. No mention of Hogan (praise the lord)

    Prestia is an A grade mid. MFC should do what it takes (4 year contract at a minimum).

    Happy to have anyone who improves us, although Prestia is probably too similar to Jones and Viney for my liking, but he's not presently A-grade.

    • 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.
