He's spelling 'The Devil Inside' with a capital i instead of a lower case L in 'Devil'

It's not Saty.

the real give away was the loss of post history count

No detail, just the usual 3aw trying to sound in the know.

They said that future plans had been shared with JH, no specific talk of contract and $s, and that it is believed one of the big fish being targeted is Luke Parker

Man, didnt even think of Luke Parker. Now that would be a coup. He is young and a match winning mid who oozes leadership.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Swans have come to the realisation that their premiership hopes have dissipated quite significantly this year and moving forward don't look too flash.

It would make sense to unload one of their stars to gain early draft picks with an eye to regenerating for another tilt in 4 to 6 years.

Parker is a practical possibility.

but they've got the academy, oozing with top draft picks


Impostor, fraud, hoaxer. And you with the proud name felix da CAT. Recant you charlatan.

Hi my name is Felix and I am Fish....OH MY GOD ? you don't know how much I have longed to be able to stand before you all and speak my truth.

For years I have lived in denial and have been hiding my true self from you all. The constant burden of carrying fresh water with me everywhere the hours of explaining my allergies and my affinity to swimming and water sport in general.

But I must reiterate I am not "The Big Fish" I am only owning up to being "a fish"

Would make no sense for them to trade Parker. Young future captain.

Only reason would be if they have their eye on someone. Like a key back. Coz they can only trade in if they trade out

 

If we were to land either I would be spending a lot of time having relations with myself

You wouldn't need to - I'd give you a hand.

I love MFC.

I love women more.

Parker is only 22 though. He'd be in his prime in 4 to 6 years. I just can't see them giving him up.

I would have thought they'd be more likely to unload an older player like Kennedy if they'd be looking at another tilt in 4 to 6.

I would take 3 Vandenbergs over one J Kennedy.

As far as I am aware there is only ONE vandenBerg in the competition, whereas there are TWO J Kennedys, both of whom I would love at our club.

Ah....the speculation at this time of year is just amazing. Good to have something to entertain / amuse demon fans in September.

It's a fair point you make but if they don't give something significant up now, what will they have in 4 to 6 years, given the changes to the academy draftees?

If anything happens it will involve picks and younger MFC players you would think.

Correct. There is no way they would want him to go.

Fascinating

I can imagine the Franklin-induced salary cap squeeze seeing Parker on only an above-average salary when he clearly deserves an upper echelon salary.

A move would provide some relief & avoid the inevitable.

Mentioned on 3AW

Boy, wouldn't it be great if we landed Parker and Prestia, although I'd be rapt with even one of those.

If we managed to land Prestia and Parker this trade period, anything less than a top 8 finish next year would be a fail.

Where is the Prestia talk coming from again? I thought he has already declined our offer.

It's coming from Demon Fans Hopes & Dreams Inc.

This company still runs even though it hasn't made a decent product for a generation...

There are a few on here who constantly bring him up. If a new player is mentioned they'll respond with "If we could land this player and Prestia that would be an amazeballs trade period!"

It's frustrating, as while there is no doubt we are keen, our overtures have already been knocked back for this year at least. But they will continually make up reasons why we can still land him.

The possibility still exists in this AFL landscape. This time 12 months ago, who would have thought that a recent # 1 draft pick like Tom Boyd could be traded? Who would have considered it even a remote possibility that the MFC would be shopping Trenners around? If it suits Gold Coast to trade Prestia to another club now instead of next year when they have no contractual hold over him, they might do it.

All speculation and hearsay so far Wiseblood.

This is a footy forum and if we didn't report or discuss the snippets of information that has been heard in the media at this time of year then what would we talk about.

I know you get frustrated by information other than cold hard facts, so maybe you should wait till the trade period is over before you comment , to save your self an ulcer or something.

We are allowed to dream about positive outcomes on this site even if they may not occur.

If you think we are no chance at all of landing a Prestia or a Parker then fair enough, but no need to lambaste others for hoping.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
