If we're offering half as much as we offered PD (1.5m?) then it deserves a 100 pages.

That's about what Tigers are apparently throwing at him - it's the money they didn't spent on Treloar.

 

$700k a year is a lot of coin.

 

Would love Prestia at the Dees tho...

Any new club would be wanting him in for surgery now and ready for a full pre season.

Suns looking ahead for next season. They won't rush him back.

He may not play for the again if they don't

Maybe its me....I just dont care where he ends up.  

The era of looking/needing silver bullets is over.  We will develop anyway

Rather get a top FB anyway

I can hear his price plummeting and Richmond getting spooked by the prospect of the big fish they need being an injury disaster...

Probably still worth a risk for us at a reduced price.

"(Dion's) going to Melbourne to see a surgeon on Monday (and) he might have a clean up of his knee," Eade said.

 

To see a surgeon? Is that what he told you rocket? 

Worth our 2nd rounder at most. Way too injury prone.

The 2005 premiership team was an anomaly on many levels, including having a terrible average spread of gosl-kickers.  They ranked second last.  Every other premiership team over the last fifteen years has ranked first or second. 

I wouldn't use this team or its achievements as a yardstick for anything.  Classic Roos.

Was Dave Misson the fitness coach back then?

I seem to recall they had a simply ridiculous run without any injuries to key players for the entire season.

 

still reckon we need this guy in our side if it can be done.

 

he runs and spreads, provides defensive pressure, and kicks goals...when he's able to get on the field.

Roos comment "We don't have a Dangerfield" says a couple of things to me. Firstly Prestia just shortened and it was a veiled comment on our skippers effort. Normally I'm a bit of a fan of Jonesy but he didn't show up yesterday. Not what you would expect of a leader.

Got it from a reliable source. None of this is true. He's just said it so he can fit under Melbourne's salary cap and to turn all other suitors off. 

Source? Me. Dreaming out loud.

We have to get this guys to the club.. I was on the fence, now I think we need any quality we can get..

Just had him on news said he hasn't decided and will discuss with his family while in Melbourne, sounds 100% gone to me and I hope we have a massive crack

Exactly what I thought too, but I'm an unabashed Prestia lover. I suspect if he really wanted to get to Melbourne and he knew we wouldn't have the cards to suit the Suns, he'd just need to appear to lower his trade value, but without lowering his contract value. Particularly, as I'm sure we've already offered him a deal. It's just a matter of whether he's conducive to the deal.

I gotta say though this seems to be the way Demonland works every week. We have a win and we've got so much inside talent we don't know where to find a place for it all. We lose and suddenly we need mids. I'm of the opinion that we need more A grade talent in the middle as that's where games are won and lost. Not off the half back flank.

Don't know about Silver,  but we need magnum bullets. plenty of them.

The more the merrier.  We needs movers & shakers, only Viney shook up the opposition on the weekend.

 

Two pieces of info I found it yesterday is that Dees have a 5 year ofer on the Table for Prestia. I wasn't told how much, just how long. 

I was was also told that Tom Mac wants $700,000 per season.

Very interesting if true regarding Prestia..

And Tom McDonald is a peanut if he is seriously asking that much.

Prestia is not a Dangerfield....and no one thinks Jones is either so it says neither of those things to me.

$700k for a player who struggles to kick straight is hilarious!
