PRESTIA DEAL IMMINENT

It's not long now, Richmond fans. Midfielder Dion Prestia is set to be confirmed as a Tiger in the next few hours after the clubs agreed to a deal involving pick No.6 in the 2016 NAB AFL Draft. This one's been dragging on since Prestia nominated the Tigers as his preferred club on August 18. The clubs have been haggling over an exchange of second-round picks so it will be interesting to see who comes out with what.

Enjoy loser fatigue Dion.

Enjoy loser fatigue Dion.

He probably won't feel any different in that regard.

 

[Ry009]

Can the club techies build a 'trade week' simulator so people unsatisfied with the club not trading in Ablett types for pick 151 are pacified?

 

[Shermanator]

How do we get that pick 6 from GC?..

Love to grab a jet in the draft with that pick and watch Ninethmond supporters cry about it like they do over the Buddy/Tambling fiasco for many years to come.

After Prestia's first touch ............

Wowee. @sydneyswans could trump @HawthornFC & @EssendonFC !!! @jaegeromeara to #Sydney AND @KurtTippett8 to @GoldCoastSUNS #watchthisspace

 

[Rooboy 96]

Yeah I have to agree. Think Mountford will quickly overtake Jacobs. I think they only had him tagging to learn how to defend better - not as a long term position

very short memory jclei.

Sheahan is a weird one. A lot of junk but every now and then he is spot on about something. He was adamant Lewis was leaving Hawthorn even when it looked like the move was off.

Good trade.

Tippo has to go from the swans.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

So many media "experts" (and bf posters) having a crack at our recruiters for not doing anything.

Sometimes recruiters hands are tied by factors outside their control

Jacobs is a good tagger dont get me wrong but i think Mountford will become a better player than him pretty quickly.

I actually hope we dont play a full time tagger next year. Would prefer to see some more potent offence from some younger guys like Mountford and take the hit in defence

I guess it wouldnt cost them financially that much given he would probably take over Tippett's salary. They might even save some if Tippett is on 800 odd

If Tippett + Nankervis both leave Swans that would leave a big gap in their Ruck stocks.

Who could they possibly look at to replace such massive hole?

umm I don't know, Minson?

Mountford has great speed and agilty mixed with good endurance. Won't be tagging at AFL level when BJ is back up and running.

oh you mean Drew.

 

[Rockstar6]

Geelong's first pick is at 38 isnt it? Looks like they might make a move up the draft order...... interesting.

 

[chubbspeterson]

I'm sure the recruiters are actually doing things but its a case of nothing happens till the big deals are done. Most of the better players have nominated other clubs, we can only change that perception by being competitive in 2017, we have to accept that players think we're dropping off a cliff.
Until we change that perception I'm not sure we'll attract any significant players until 2018 onwards.

 

[sobo]

Whats everyones thoughts is that it for the roos this trade period.
