How do we get Prestia AND Hibberd to the club?

I still think cashing in on Dean Kent's currency isn't the worst idea.
Far too inconsistent for my liking.

There's no way we'd shop him around. He's played 46 games.

If he was a 100 + gamer and playing with the same inconsistency then I'd share your sentiment.

So much time to develop.

There is, yes.
But I think he's the type of player that would get a deal done, if you really want to make this happen.

Grimes and Dawes are not.

I think Kent and 2017 first rounder would be half a chance to get a deal done for Prestia, if he were to declare his intention to join the MFC.

Hibberd with pick 27 this year.

Prestia (if we actually want him) with next years first rounder and ANB.

Grimes is a free agent btw.

 

The most likely scenario, I think, mate. If they end up going for our first rounder next year they'll be losing their VC and a pick 10 (or was it pick 9?), while gaining pick 10-12 and someone like ANB. I think we'd say that's fair given Prestia wants to come home.

To get Prestia, I think we need to "exploit" the academy points thing (which I know SFA about, but obviously Mahoney does).  With the GC having a couple of players that they will pick up through their academy this year, could we couple of 2nd and 3rd round picks, and potentially a player (i.e. Grimes), in exchange for the 1st round pick we gave GC last year, which we then trade back for Prestia?

As I said, I don't know enough about the points system, but from my minimal understanding, GC need to offload early picks so that they don't use them on academy players.  Hope that makes sense, and I'm sure I will get some feedback about my above scenario - be gentle if it's not possible!

With regards to Hibberd, I think it could depend on getting a potential deal done with Prestia, then seeing what we have left.  I must admit, I far prefer the idea of him coming to us as a DFA.

There should be no reason why we will use ANB as trade bait.  2nd year player that Roos picked, developing lovely in the reserves, will only be better next year, he's the type of player that could bite us on the bum if we move on at the end of this year.  And further to that, he's the type of player that if he was at a different club, we'd be wanting to trade in to our team.

Aren't the AFL looking at closing this loophole before the end of 2016?

they've only stated that each pick trade must show a real benefit and not a sham

I would be loathe to give up Kent. he gets bagged on here but he is a bit of a talisman for us. his pace and kicking are elite, and as his tank builds he will become a central player for us. he has the two assets we have in low quantities at present.

His kicking is not elite. Sorry. He's 50/50. Either a beautiful, penetrating kick or a mongrel floater.

Mitchell's a gun player, we can get a KPD from elsewhere, we don't have to trade like for like.

'stuie', unless Tom Mitchell can play KPD then that's a poor trade. Only worth anything to us if it's part of a bigger trade to land Hurley, Talia or the like.

I would take Mitchell not that he would want to come to us. Let's say Mitchell goes to the Hawks, and Tmac asks to be traded to Sydney, what does that leave us with, a pick? Could we land a player from the Hawks? 

R-Jay I get what you're saying with regards to "tall for a tall"  but it doesn't always work that way. If we are going to lose Tmac I want an established player in return.

Just announced Prestia having surgery (minor) on knee.. His currency is going down..

 

On the one hand, good! If his currency's going down, all the better for us.

On the other hand, bad! If he's having surgery now rather than postponing it, either his knee's even worse than it was, or he's decided to stay.

off one foot with little time he is pretty good. yes he kicks floaters but so do other elite kicks under pressure. He is the most pivotal player for us when we are transitioning well from half back to half forward. with pace and kicking.

Ah, posters with no idea about footy trying to trade out Kent, Goodwin and Roos who have played him all season, must be laughing their socks off

Meatball is a good player but seriously

Kent is one of my favourites and I would never trade him myself, but you've got to give something of value to get something of value. We're hardly going to be able to trade Dawes, Terlich and Newton for Prestia just because there's lots of them.

So maybe tuck that attitude back in mate, or get a better grasp of how trading works.

That's my point, I don't think Prestia is worth Kent, if that makes sense, Kent has finally got a injury free run at it, he has so much potential, to get rid of him now borders on insanity......I know the game is won and lost in the midfield but how many do we want, and small fwds are pretty much covered for me as well..............

I think the people suggesting it were generally saying Kent plus a pick weren't they? Don't think anyone suggested a straight swap, at least that I saw. I love Kent, think he gives us some things we lack, but I do understand that we'd need to give up something of equal value to get Prestia, whereas too many suggest fanciful trades that would never happen in reality.

Stupid comment Saty, the comment was made because Kent is a good player he would have some currency, teams wouldn't want a bloke who'd played all year at Casey would they?

Can somebody give me a breakdown as to why we require Prestia   he hasn't set the world on fire up to now   yes he is a good player

Unless Prestia is having an op and won't play again this season because he has told Gold Coast he is leaving means I would not be interested at all especially at the price quoted. Wonder if the Richmond doctor has checked him out?

The thread title is " How do we get Prestia AND hibberd to the club" the suggestion is we don't get both without giving up a player, Kent being an option. 

Prestia has spent most of the last two years with niggling injuries but was one of the best clearance players in the comp last year anyways, he has a handy turn of speed and very good skills, he in my opinion has the capacity to be a genuine A grade mid and a potential captain down the track, already V/C at the suns. just needs an injury free run. 

landing a player of his quality would be significant for the club, and he would improve the side quite a bit. 

the argument rightly is that because prestia plays mainly as an inside mid, would we have to many of that type, i don't think you can ever have to many quality players, if he wants to join the club, i think we'll get a deal done.

They played Frawley & Howe all season too 'Sat'...it's not a one dimensional indicator that the player mustn't be traded.

Kent is a promising player but you've got to give to get.

What would you say if Kent was part of a deal to get Hurley or a fit O'Meara.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    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
