Wilson7 2,689 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Can't help but think of Garry Lyon's 'big call for 2015' when Classified returned this year. Along the lines of one of the Sun's stars would become a Demon (he might have mumbled Prestia when pressed by Hutchy). Lyon mentioned Prestia as the player that would leave, never mentioned Melbourne or any other club though Quote
Moonshadow 17,678 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 He gets a lot of the ball but his impact on games is questionable. Doesn't kick goals and his disposal effectiveness is absolutely terrible You'd have to be insane to want to give up pick 5 or 6 for him Mate, you seriously have no idea. Our first pick for Prestia would be a massive win for us, and a great vote of confidence in the future of MFC. 2 Quote
Deeoldfart 8,201 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I think dion will be a demon in 2016. When he was injured hh he was averaging ariund 26 touches 5 tackles and number one in the comp for clearances, id happily hand over our first pick, especially given he is still so young I hope so Sir Paul. He has an excellent CV, and would be a fantastic addition to our midfield. If he is indeed contemplating a move south, the Dees would seem to be an obvious choice. Pick 5 would be fair and reasonable if we are satisfied that his knee will stand up. Quote
chook fowler 19,772 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Far more confident in our list management these days. Happy to accept their decisions - if they want Prestia it will be for good reasons. The recruiting so far under the new regime has been impeccable. 5 Quote
jackaub 1,402 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Recent pick 5's 2012 back 2012 Jake Stringer 2011 Mathew Buntine 2010 Jared Polec 2009 Ben Cunnington 2008 Michael Hurley 2007 Jarrad Grant I think I'd take Prestia. Small players can be effective, think Boomer Harvey. Not when they have to run with Nat Fyfe they will all struggle The The modern midfielder is 190 cm plus very strong and can run all day while busting tackles Quote
ManDee 7,395 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Too much sport, tonight we have Wimbledon, The Tour de France, State of Origin, The Ashes! How to watch it all? Not enough screens, not enough time. Life can be hell. 3 Quote

Demon3 2,541 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 The offer to Hannebery clearly shows we want a good player and a mid at that and are willing to pay for it. So Prestia would have to be sounded out, as would Motlop, as would Trelor, as would Gaff. Quote
Skuit 10,031 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Delist In a delist/trade thread??? Delist State of Origin and trade Tour de Fronce for a packet of NoDoze. 2 Quote
Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 We made a massive pitch for dion a couple of years back under neeld, he seriously considered it and his family were all for it but ultimately we were a mess off field, that's totally different now and the club are pushing hard to add a quality player to the list. 11 Quote
Dee1987 277 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Would be wrapt with Prestia but if O Mearas knee checks out good I'd prefer we target him he is lethal both ways, get both to us would probs be too bigger ask, would be super keen to look at a Carlilse/Henderson/ Dixon as another KPF to help out Hogan as Dawes and Pedersen are just good 3rd Talls Quote
Moneider96 1,045 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 First pick for prestia. Second pick + Howe for zaharakis (because its essendon) This is what I want to see. 1 Quote

Bluey's Dad 3,419 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 First pick for prestia. Second pick + Howe for zaharakis (because its essendon) This is what I want to see. As much as I'd love that, I can't see Essendon doing it that trade. Quote
ManDee 7,395 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 In a delist/trade thread??? Sorry Moonie, pick 5 for Jeremy Cameron and Josh Kelly. There is that better. This thread is full of hypothetical dreams, forgive me if I dream of tonight's viewing conundrums. Too much sport, tonight we have Wimbledon, The Tour de France, State of Origin, The Ashes! How to watch it all? Not enough screens, not enough time. Life can be hell. Mind you pick 5 and Howe for Prestia & Dixon could be on. Dream on. 1 Quote
Bearthor 9 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 assuming the ladder stays where it is, we have pick 4. trade ND4 to a middle of the table team ie. Geelong for both ND9 and ND27 trade ND22 (845 points) and ND27 (703 points) to GWS for tomlinson and ND28 use ND9 on a Ah Chee or Curnow / etc GWS get to use the extra points to offset selecting both Hopper and Kennedy (presumed early picks of ND5 (1751 points) and ND9 (1469 points) respectively) totalling 3220 points ND10 = 1375 ND22 = 845 ND27 = 703 ND46 = 331 total points = 3254 Quote

rpfc 29,027 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Perfect example of why this new points system is bull S&*T. How is that? How would you reform the Academy player bidding system? Quote
Chris 2,892 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) How is that? How would you reform the Academy player bidding system?My solution. Each club younger than 20 years can have an academy, each club over twenty years old gets father son. Every five years each club can have a max of three picks from F/S or academy for free. They can use these all in one year or spread them out depending on the talent coming through. The five years is a rolling five years. If a club want more than the three picks then they can have one per year, which would be governed by the rules as they were, i.e they can't get them for their last pick and would need to pay close to market price for them. This sounds complex but is actually fairly simple and allows for forward planning by all clubs, and removes the disadvantages of having F/S coming through or academies.

jackaub 1,402 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 God I hope we don't go down the path of recruiting players based on physical dimensions. Hawthorn have never seen height as a priority with their mids. Prestia is a gun and is worth pick 5 plus Howe. How tall is Luke Dodge? 186cm. Fyfe is tall and strong and has all the moves that a smaller man has Quote
ManDee 7,395 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 How tall is Luke Dodge? 186cm. Fyfe is tall and strong and has all the moves that a smaller man has Luke Dodge? And that's a difficult typo, jumped right over Luke Fodge and Luke Godge 1 Quote
