    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.

    He's still the bloke who kicked us out of an '87 GF berth. :mellow:

    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.

    • 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.
