Traded Dion Prestia [traded to Richmond with pick 24 for pick 6 and 2017 second rounder]

[The Falcon Strike]

If the mooted deal is done - GC have done well - get him for pick 6 and possibly a 2nd round pick upgrade if richmond implode as we imagine they will.

It's all relative I spose.
Pick 6 is a lot to pay, but Prestias pretty decent. Would have liked a nominal pick back to use on Nankervis but that's life.
Hopefully GWS gives us pick 13 that Carlton end up giving up for Marchbank so we are back in the first round.

I get that, I think he is quality too... But, he has shown that he cannot stay on the park on a consistent basis.

Time will tell, I think for your supporters, just hope pick 6 doesn't end up being a star!

I could have sworn Dr Whoooooooo said Richmond wouldn't give up pick 6 and they had Gold Coast.

Wrong again as per usual.

Dr Whoooooooo didnt just say it he spat it through clenched teeth

Ohh the lols

Past 3 years tiger supporters have been crying out for a ready made gun. Now they're complaining. We're never a happy mob. WELCOME PRESTIA

Gold Coast picked Prestia initially with pick 9, seems like destiny he was going to end up at the Tigers.

 

[Tbone McGraw]

I honestly have not seen that much of Prestia but draft picks are overrated compared to players that have already played AFL. 6 could be anything or nothing. At least you generally know what Prestia is like at AFL level and that seems to be very good.

Hence this is a good deal for both clubs in my opinion.

I hope he consistently gets on the park and stars for us.
I also don't mind if pick 6 ends up being a good player.
Bigfooty seems to concern itself about which clubs win trades.
If there were more win/win and ego was left at the door at clubs during this time, more would get done in quicker time

Plus he's used to losing so should fit right in. Will have to comfort himself with the massive cut of the Tigs salary cap he will be banking for the next 5 years.

Should of picked him with 6 all the way back in 2010.

What the hell is happening at the tiges.

Better to get a 18 year old who can be a gun rather then try to save dimmas job

 

[2006_Eagles]

Lube or no lube Tigers?

 

[Tulip]

Good deal for both parties. Probably hasn't quite come on as he expected but Richmond desperately need players in his mould. Still young and verging on A Grade.

I hope we are at least handed some lube. Only good thing about finishing near the bottom is getting a gun pick like 6 in a ripping draft.
Nightmare.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Pick 6 ??? I thought there was no way in hell they were going hand that over??
Oh I forgot it's Richmond... Oops my bad.

So earlier reading of this thread will surely bring the lolz

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

Happy with the deal.

So far for us its as follows:

Out: Pick 6, Vickery, 2017 2nd round pick.
In: Prestia, Pick 24, Pick 27.

Not bad thus far, still think there's more to come.

Welcome, Dion!

 

[Love The Game]

We have a bad history with pick 6.

 

[Malifice]

So, basically, Prestia for pick 6? The swap of 2nd rounders could cancel each other out.

Its not inconcievable the Tiges could wind up with a pick under 24 next year. Bottom five finish does it.

They shouldve grabbed GCS 3rd rounder (44) back at least. Its not like GCS will be using it anyway.

 

[Super Hans]

Richmond get a ready made gun to step into their midfield. Don't know about the second round picks swap but I think they did alright. I rate Prestia higher than most, though.

And most Richmond supporters have made massive dicks of themselves over the whole pick 6 s**t. Everybody wins.

 

[Malifice]

We have a bad history with pick 6.

Pick 6 is cursed. It has a bad history with pretty much everyone.

 

[2006_Eagles]

Not too bad Richmond.

Goes to show how bent over Sydney were only getting one pick for Mitchell

[Sprout]

I can't believe the trade is being defended because it's assumed that Richmond would stuff up pick 6. Mind boggling.

 

[dean33]

2nd pick next year would most likely be used on Chris naishs son which we can now use our 3rd rounder on so not as much as a loss as first thought.

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

Whoever gets taken at pick 6, get on them for the rising star.
