'Climate change' in the AFL is sucking all life out of the pond. The big fish are gone, and only minnows remain. It's the way of professional sport!

I fully believe Prestia was/is the Big Fish.

Cant see us landing him this year now.

Those previously smiling at Melb are probably somewhat glum now :(

Who was it those weeks ago that said Roos was walking around with a smile on his face? And was it a literal or figurative smile? And has anything changed? Is it a literal or figurative scowl now?

He isn't the biggest of fish, but I'd like is to have targeted Carlisle in order to free up tommy Mac.

Being able to play forward in the nick Riewoldt manner, leading up to the wings would have been fantastic, and dropping back if our defence was struggling.

Either way let's hope we have a huge 2016 and become a real destination club next year!

It's funny everyone asking who's the big fish, i will tell you the truth about the big fish, most clubs best players don't leave very often, so most players that leave are not that wanted.

I'm actually inclined to agree dmma. There are certainly no guarantees. I still remember Templeton coming to us and not being able to kick over a jam tin.

Time will tell, but I suspect there may well be a few big name busts from this trade period as well. And, for the first time in a while, I'm more excited by some of the lesser lights and their potential development I.e. (Stretch, Neal- Bullen, Oscar McDonald, introduction of Max King). It's easier being patient as well when the kids are starting to show something.

Maybe just the odd Mullet.

I'd settle for a European Carp (Zac Dawson) Biffen at this point.

I can't believe this thread still has oxygen considering the big fish thing was started by none other than the purple warrior...

Soooo having said that..... Is this Prestia pulling in a big one on a Gold Coast beach???

With Prestia's manager intimating that Dion may return to Victoria at the end of the 2016 and with the Pies and the Cats already(well likely in the pies case) without first round picks for next year it narrows down the competition a little for us. Unless something eventuates this year I think we'll be keeping our powder dry by not trading any future picks so we can offer two first round picks (2016 & 2017).

They will lobby the AFL to let them lobby 2 future years draft picks the following year or some [censored]. These teams will put themselves in massive draft debt to move up the ladder, this will result in their future picks being worth Jack [censored] also

We are getting Prestia next year if my mail is correct.

How accurate is your mail?

Dunno.

We will know next year.

Sounds likely enough.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
