Kane Cornes, thankyou, why would you get Prestia when we are not near a premiership window!!!!


Bingo, and Kingy would not trade RFC's first pick for Prestia.

Exactly right, more insanity coming from RFC!!!

 

[Mr Magic]

I'm still of the opinion we should keep pick 4-5, been a while since we've had access to top range talent would be nice to nail a pick there. If we could get 11+17 or something that would be great but with this year looking like the first round being pretty even I'm not sure we will find many clubs happy with that.

Assuming Naish is increasingly looking like being a first rounder next year it makes sense for us to get rid of next years first anyway, and I think most of us would expect a much better showing next year than what we saw this year, which makes it even more appealing. We could end up giving them pick 10-12 next year for Prestia, which we would have had to give up for Naish anyway.

A Naish type will not be worth a first rounder unless a gun which is rare and very unlikely!!

 

[Mr Magic]

Whats the go with Dom Sheed? played 1 game this season and currently not on the eagles injury list.

dud?

 

[Mr Magic]

Please don't give them anymore.
They have already had 16 top 10 picks in the last 5 years + Cameron/Treloar/Sheil outside of the draft.
We've had 1 in that time, so we should probably keep it.

Apart from trading it for pick 1 via Essendon for Will Brodie in a three/4/5way its a no I think

I'll spew if we trade our first even for a somewhat proven mid like Prestia.

 

[Mr Magic]

Prestia has twice finished top 3 in Gold coasts best and fairest. Your chance of getting a player as good as him is historically very low even with a pick 5 or 6. Hes an elite player.

Actually he is not elite.

GC is a shit list with not many gun mids playing many games to take votes off him!!!

BS statistics there

 

[Mr Magic]

I'll spew if we trade our first even for a somewhat proven mid like Prestia.

I would spew if we even down trade our first for a later pick as part of a trade.

Prestia would be lucky to get pick 16 in this draft as a stand alone given he will be 24 next year.

The players we have chased apart from Treloar have mainly been mediocre!!

 

[smasha]

Actually warmed to him coming but not bothered if we pick up a kid in the draft.
If Yarran can get himself back to his best for next year then maybe we should go for him.
Not counting my chickens though.

 

[Tigersman]

I'll spew if we trade our first even for a somewhat proven mid like Prestia.

So you keep the first round pick, recruit a kid and hope he can become an A grade talent that plays 8-10 years for us?

Prestia gives us that without the risk of picking the wrong kid.

I'd like us to trade in a suitable Pick/player combo to satisfy GC but if it comes to it, I'll be happy to take the proven young talent

Prestia give us nothing. Another Chaplin, Grigg, Houli that wastes our ****ing time!!!!


Rance needs to get his head out of his arse and stop overrating the list and wake up.

If Rance wants to win premierships go to GWS!!!


Thompson, Cornes and plenty others still think obviously there must be a lot of dickheads still overrating the list.


Some need to have a cold shower and realise they are not that ****ing good!!!! Why would they be they have achieved **** all!!!

Pick 16 lol

You know nothing John snow

 

[Mr Magic]

Pick 16 lol

You know nothing John snow

He was pick 9 in 2010, 6 years ago and he has to go down in value!!!


No doubt you have no idea!!!

I would love Prestia went to Hawthorn, it would make my ****ing day!!!

We shouldn't be trading out a top 5 pick given the year we've had and the holes on our list. Prestia is quality but surely if he nominates us we can satisfy them with a player and a swap of later picks

Trading out this years second is looking dumber by the day - luckily we have some players who should be able to get us back into the second round

The probable likelihood is Richmond's next grand final will be after Prestia retires. We hope it isn't but history suggests thats most likely.

People band on about Thompson as coach and he went through our list compared to Geelong and even laughed with Robbo comparing Edwards to Chapman. When are people going to wake up the cattle is not there. The team is not that crash hot!!!!! Thats why we are down near the bottom. GWS and others are not walk overs anymore as are others and Melbourne are not tanking anymore like others. When other teams try we are not that competitive!!!

Thats a fact the likes of Rance need to get their head around. Hartley won't care as he knows he will be pissed off, or the board will be within 2 years minimum if not weeks away!!

 

[Tigerbob]

This Prestia talk has panic from the club all over it...

Talking up a "big name" player coming to ease the pressure.

Not thinking the general fan is smart enough to work out why it wouldn't be a great deal and risks associated.

Panic. Panic. Panic.

I would like to say the pick we will have, 4-6, is pretty certain to be Prestia level or more so your argument is flawed....BUT the Reece Conca pick makes your point unfortunately well founded.

But FJ and Blair a looking to be moved on by people that know what they are doing with a track record!!!


How many premiership players of significance are at the RFC club that are used to success and actual initiate success as leaders on the field?

Cornes talked up Hardwick but even he said getting Prestia was madness!!!! It was madness no matter how you rate him because the lists needs to be built not be added to by a patchwork add-on Prestia!!!

Why are you even talking premierships? We have bigger issues to worry about than premierships, like who plays CHB/FB next year if rance or Astbury goes down or why is our ruck if hammer gets injured.

Point being there are greater needs than adding a ready made mid by trading out a top 5 pick

Prestia is not even a big name like Armitage, like Yarran. Its just hype built up over lessor types that other clubs will not reach on other than RFC.

RFC is the land of BS dreams!!!! We are only one or 2 picks away, we just need a finisher like Yarran, we just need a small forward, lad da de, de da!!!!!


What bullshit!!!!!

We are only playing to win premierships!!!!


The only reason RFC crosses the white line is on a path to win a premiership!!!!


The supporters said Dan Richardson is a ********!!! He might be playing RFC to make finals but the RFC supporters for 30+ years are not waiting for anything other than a premiership!!!


I don't care if this group smokes bongs for the next 6 years if we win a premiership in 2024!!!


All that matters is premierships, nothing else. Not your memories, not your mates, not your fun times. If you want to play social football piss off to the local leagues or country leagues.

When your playing at RFC you are their to win premierships. And if you don't like trade talk or whatever like Reiwoldt complaining about, piss off to another club if you can't stand the heat in the kitchen. I only want players that stand up in finals period!!!

The only player that cuts the mustard still around the traps after footy is KB!!! Not Richo who won no premiership, KB!!!


KB, Brian Wood, Roach and the others who won the last premiership and the ones before, they are the champions of this footy club!!!!

I think KB needs, to go to Jack Reiwoldt and Rance and maybe others and tell them they have achieved **** all in their careers so far.

Its team football and this RFC team and list has achieved nothing!!!

Jack Reiwoldt is from tassie. Maybe Royce Hart needs to give Jack a call and say its all very well to take about hysteria but at the end of the day, RFC has not won a premiership for 30+ years and thats all that matters for many!!

 

[BILC]

Thompson, Cornes and plenty others still think obviously there must be a lot of dickheads still overrating the list.

You know a surefire way to improve an overrated list? A proven young A grade midfielder, like say, Dion Prestia.

I actually do not regard Prestia as a proven A-grade midfielder.

Who has Prestia played on and beat??

Prestia might be a good midfielder but he is unproven. How many times has Prestia been tagged?

What has Prestia done seriously???

How is Prestia going to be the difference to win a premiership??
