I have.. and the answer is no.

    Would you pay the same for a Ferrari that has been smashed and then repaired opposed to one that has never been smashed?

    Personally I wouldn't

    Work it out yourself. Regardless how bad his injury is GC will NOT offload him cheaply.. this guy is the 2nd best midfielder behind Ablett and the fact he is still contracted till 2016 they will play absolute hardball with him. When someone like Rodney Eade who with enough experience in the game they will still ask for a 1st rounder atleast.

    If jesse Hogan request a trade next year after missing half a year with a dodgy knee would you accept a 2nd rounder because we know it will affect him in the long run? Of course not! You still demand a 1st round draft pick.

    Seriously lets get some common sense back

    I can't link it at the moment, but according to an article on bigfooty; Prestia has turned us down to fulfil his contract with Gold Coast. Maybe next year I guess...

    Not that I'm in a hurry to believe Prestia rumours, but I also won't be in a hurry to believe a player manager or Jay Clark.

    This could easily be damage control in case nothing happens.

    Right..... Well I guess i'll see you all again in this thread next year.

    He is injured any way. Better to wait and see if he can get over his injury. Good choice Demons. Good choice.

    Yeah ... next year.

    If only GNF had been feeding the rumour mill!

    Oh well, love the player but it's our own fault for being such a hot mess of a club for so long. If the Suns are still a mess next year, we'll have a much better shot at him. Maybe Dion was doing us a favour, realising he'd cost us 2 first-rounders while in-contract at the Suns.

    Not a bad call from Dion, really.

    Gold Coast will finish above us next year, if their injury list gets back in order.

    Do we have to go over this every time, hh? I know you change your tune at the drop of a hat, but Prestia is easily an A grader. Maybe check out YouTube for a few clips as that seems to be how you judge players.
  • Quote

    Sorry but what player have I ever judged by Youtube clips?

    And Prestia is most certainly a B grader

    You posted the below in the Christian Petracca thread less than two hours before asking this question:

    I havent, like everyone else I am just going by under 18 highlights and what we know about his style of play and physical attributes

    • 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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
