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...

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.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
