How do we get Prestia AND Hibberd to the club?

Forget Hibberd, White and Wagner will be better. Can the club take a chance on a player who has been suspended for a year,he may be stuffed in the head.Prestia we can't afford and is not someone we really need as a priority,considering our quality mids we have and I beleive Salem will end up as a mid.

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.

 

Not even worth asking, because he forms irrational attachments to all players.

Personally I don't rate Hurley have an Essendon supporter who thinks the same,  before the disaster he was part of a good defensive unit prefer to develop our own

Prestia has not been the same since injuries hit perhaps has reached his ceiling   we now have a surfeit of midfielders who can play a role certainly wouldn't offer up Kent

OMeara    want to see what he is like post injury   at least 10 or 15 games

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.

I've watched him kick multiple floaters on the outside. He's an inconsistent kick at best. Certainly not elite.

I'm with you on Prestia, I think injury free he's a good player and his pace could be an advantage but we are ok for mids.

Having said that O'Meara would be a punt but one of those (Burgoyne)  just won the game for the Hawks tonight and is a gun. Will be interesting to see how O'Meara runs out the season but fit he is a star, a real A grader and whilst ok for mids you don't pass on a champ.

We do need to add to the defensive unit, Hurley at the moment is an option because he's yet to commit. I'm sure we will be looking at all options.

I'm for developing our own but if a good one comes up we need to get in the game.

The question is what we have to offer, whether it's a trade or picks. The likes of Dawes, Garland, Grimes, M.Jones, Dunn are worth nix at the trade table and as we're playing with monopoly money here it's worth throwing a few other names around.

I don't rate Hurley, so not fussed about him.

Prestia is out for the season and having a knee operation, he's only 23 but I'm not sure if his best is already behind him with his injuries.

O'Meara might be worth the risk, but I don't think we can afford him at the 700k that the Suns say he's worth?

Kent's clearly a required player.

He's also good mates with Hogan, so splitting up the brigade may not be the most sensible thing to do in order to attempt to get a player like Prestia.

Would be super happy with Hibberd for a second rounder.

And I'd rather the club target Rohan over Prestia if we're about to make a play for a high profile mid.

Would definitely add a new dimension to the side. Would a T.Mac - Rohan trade swap be a fair exchange?

Lose T.Mac and we'd need to trade in a KPB from elsewhere immediately.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
