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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.
