    he's a kid I was interested in up grabbing in his draft year, as well as Ty Vickery..

    wanted Ty again over the past 2 years to give him a shot as well.. maybe too late for Ty now. he won't leave the Tiges now.

    Butcher has talent, & a strong hands. worth a look for a rookie spot.

    No to Vickery.

    Ty has talent a lot of it. he's starting to learn. but if he went to say the Hawks or the Catters from the draft, he would be a star now. Environment is a huge part of the development of a young players mindset. & growth.

    Whilst that might be true even the greatest environment can't get you kicking straight......Cloke....

    I have a brother who is a lions member and lives in Brisbane.

    He tells me that Aish has eyes for SA only.

    The rest can forget talking to him.

    somehow I keep getting the feeling that he is tied up in a 3 way, or more, trade swap. & knowing the Lions have recently been shrewd since Lethal is back; & I cannot keep the Blues out of this picture.

    .... the Lions will also be getting background support from within the AFL, as we have. & so, those who the AFL have pull over, the GWS, Suns, Dees, Lions, & now Blues as well, I feel absolutely sure.

    So I see names like Murphy, poss' Gibbs, Yarren, Aish, Henderson, Howe, Watts, Dawes, Prestia, & others I haven't kept tabs on from the suns, & GWS players not getting games.

    I think Gillon will be aiming to even out the competition, Via player trading drafting, & the fixturing, as prime issues voiced in supporter polls... falling viewing & attendances will demand AFL attention, for the supporters to regain faith. as the generations after ours will not tolerate being loyal to a corrupted system. they just won't buy in.

    Would be happy enough to throw a rookie lifeline to Butcher or Todd Elton, who could be on the way out at Richmond.

    Crozier another we could get cheaply.

    Called it a couple of weeks ago.

    Family are dead set want him to leave GC because of drug culture.

    The "drug culture" is out there, everywhere,it's up to the individual....

    To give credit where credit is due, 'Sir Paul Roos' called Dion a month ago. Here is his PM:

    You're calling it because it was speculated on the news?

    Or you know something we don't?

    Gold Coast is pretty [censored] up but.. and if people want to start comparing us to them by saying we would have the same problem are absolutely kidding themselves.

    Who said anything about us as a club, it's every where you turn. Doctors, lawyers, bus drivers, construction workers, hairdressers the bloke the next door who has a 9-5 job could well be a dealer. Drugs are everywhere, the individual must choose. I'm not across the AFL drug policy but surely the revamped one will have(if not already) the right for clubs to test their own players. Couple that with basic knowledge, drugs like ice/speed/cocaine will generally last in your system 2-3 days. I'd be testing Friday and Monday mornings If I wanted to catch someone. The culture could be cleaned up easily. The AFL also needs to grow some balls. Clean slate and 1 strike and your out.

    His dad is a coterie member. Supplies food to the club, I believe. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I remember reading that on Demonland at some point.

    EDIT. Derps.

    Like his parents, Prestia was a member of Melbourne Football Club as a youngster and supported the Dees until draft day in 2010. His dad Osi has been involved with Melbourne coterie groups and still supplies fruit for the red and blues to this day. The lures to go home were strong. "There was always the temptation of going home to Melbourne," Prestia told the AFL Record this week. "But I thought, 'I've already started here, I've already gone through hard times at the club, where we got smashed every week, and now we were coming into the phase of winning games' … I just thought there was no point leaving."
    Those quotes have new meaning given the drugs revelations; he went through the hard times when the club started and I would imagine he's less than pleased to be in the same position after only 5 years.

    What about Brandon Jack at the Swans. He might be a Roosy favourite!

    And there's no point in leaving if you're winning games. Now that the Suns aren't, why not move back to Melbourne. We can't offer him wins, but we can offer him Melbourne. ;)

    Couldn't see it, being that Jack is a famous NSW name and boy.

    Then again, Kennedy was a famous Hawthorn name.

    Any update on Toump contract situation? We are signing all other kids up but not him yet? Must be low priority. To trade him we need a contract don't we? Or he goes back to SA cheap as.

    Would need two injuries in the mids to even get regular games at Sydney

    imo Bird is ahead of him and he isn't getting played either

    Could want to leave for more game time, but he would probably rather stay with his brother

    We own his rights until the end of the trade period. If a club wants him, they have to trade with us or take the chance that he'll be around when they pick in the National Draft or Preseason Draft. I hope we give him a 2 year deal; he's shown enough this year to warrant it, IMO.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
