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...

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
