Tbh with Prestia going under the knife again, it seems more likely he'll stay at GC.

GC wants to keep the nature of the injury silent so they get more for him.

Prestia wants to keep it silent so he gets more of he leaves.

Stay clear imo.

If I were GCS, I would trade gablett,  & keep Prestia & offer him the captaincy.

The club is all over Prestia and is quietly confident. The fact we traded out next seasons 1st round pick is of little consequence. We can trade 2017 first round for a start.  If Prestia says he wants

This is what I heard this morning from a credible source via a GCS players father. O'meara, Swallow and Prestia all want out of GCS. All 3 are particularly filthy on ho

Trading Ablett would be the best thing Gold Coast could have ever done... 2 years ago.

Now though? Nobody will a) pay for him with draft picks and b) pay his massive salary, to make turfing him out worthwhile. Just imagine what they would've gotten 2 years ago, not to mention the salary cap space.

[censored] cat-land romance! Demon-land romance has him come to us and kick three against the cats in the 2017 GF including a spiral torp from 60 after the siren to have us win by a point. 

Clark, Selwood and Danger collapse and weep uncontrollably, and never see finals success again...

More like Viney lays a bone crunching tackle on Dangerfield, holding the ball. Viney goes back and slots it (Lead out to 94 points). Viney then goes up to Selwood and lets him know all about it, who goes down in history as the first player to get pinged for staging for a free kick. Not content with giving just the free, Selwood's continued sooking is rewarded with 50 meters. Jack dobs it after the siren to bring up the tonne. Unable to allay Selwood's and Dangerfield's tears, Scott seeks out the Geelong doctor to have his jaw put back in, after he dislocates it from his standard continual mouth gaping performance.

 

It's a grand old flag indeed :)

Prestia and Jeagerbomb could have had a chance to audition  for us. Sad

I believe 2metre Peter will rip us a new orifice.

Saints should have got this guy over McCartin if they wanted a goal kicking unit.

The pair have hardly been able to audition for anyone over the past two seasons because they've been out injured most of the time. 

All that considered they come with very high price tags. Is taking one of them worth the risk?

If GAJ was to go elsewhere I would think GCS would pay for a fair chunk of his contact, maybe half.

It is s risk. 

It's a pity, because O'Meara is probably the best young midfielder I've ever seen. 

I think in the position we are, in it is too big of a risk.

We would pay heavily for either in a trade and then in ongoing salary. If they performed badly,  it could be a disaster for us, both on and off the field.

To be honest, I would rather see Hogan and T Mac signed for a few more years and go with a recruiting manager who has proven he can spot talent and get another good kid or two in the draft. Silly as this sounds, you would get more from ANB, Newton or Michie, than an injured or NQR, Prestia or O'Meara. Both have had serious injuries and after two years are still not right.

Look at JT as an example. After two years injured, this highly regarded player is struggling. We don't need another. 

There are other players out there, maybe not as good, but who are fit and can play, like Crouch for example, that you might be better making a play for, than these two. I just have a bad feeling about both of them. Also we could probably use a good key Defender and another back up ruckman/forward, more.

I also am not keen on Hibberd who I see as limited, especially with Salem and Melksham to return and with Hunt and Warner developing. He would cost us our first live pick and then we are at the arse end of the draft.

Looks like Dion is tiger bound. Good luck to him. Hope he enjoys being down the [censored] hole for another couple more years. Honestly your better off staying at GC then playing for a puss side like Richmond.

Emma Q is usually spot on.

Interesting that Rich gave up their 2016 rnd 2 draft last year.  Looks expensive now that they are near bottom of the ladder.  More so as Yarran hasn't played a game for them yet!   If they give their 2016 1st rnd for Prestia they are in a world of pain with their rebuild.  They will be lucky to get 2nd (pick 25+) or 3rd rnd picks for their players = Average players out, Average players in!

Think they will be my tip for the 2017 wooden spoon!

This is guaranteed to be a failure for both parties.

Lots to play out here, if dimma is sacked they'll be going to the draft i reckon 

Can't see Prestia going to Richmond either. Carlton? Maybe. But I reckon he'll come home. ;)

Time to wake up from the dream mate. Emma Q is usually very accurate with this kind of stuff and all the noise seem to point towards Richmond.

His knees are a worry for me and i think we have gone cold on him with someone else in mind.

It's all about the coin.  Prestia knows he is probably on borrowed time with his knees and Richmond will be throwing panic cash his way, and good on him if he takes it.  Sets him up for the future.

We are obviously focused on getting Hibberd into the club, and no doubt we have our eyes on others as well.  

Prestia isn't the answer for Richmond, though.  Recruiting him makes little sense to me.

Very little sense. Not only will they give up a 1st rounder for Prestia but this year's 2nd rounder was alreadg used for Yarran.

They are just better off going into the draft and rebuilding freshly with more young talent. 

They are set for more long term pain.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
