This is not a "suck and see", nor is it an argument...its simple bang for buck. The FD traded our #6 2016 draft pick (with all the upside & downside that comes with it) to the Suns and got a player back (who has been very much in the system) that it negotiated to pay $4m over 5 years. This is all about expectations...I have adjusted for his year 1 output...l very much want his years 2-5 to deliver significantly more.

Pick 6 from this years draft would have more impact this year than Prestia? How's he going? Bang for buck? Were trying to win a flag now not build for the future. Maybe you missed that memo?
Lol we are indeed...seems the FD that selected Conca over Heppel and Lennon over Cripps and Yarran from the Blue Magoos missed that earlier memo as well huh? Bringing in injured footballers. And so lets run this fellow into fitness huh for our tilt? Lol seen our last 6 matches...I got my fingers crossed we actually make it to the finals.
I want him to come good...never said I didn't. Our expectations seem to differ. Yes I want to win it now...and in 10 years time as well. You saying this is our year, nothing exists beyond 2017? We packing up shop after this year?

Where did I say it was our year? This is the clubs decision, not mine. They think they can win it by topping up with players like Prestia and Caddy. When you have Jack, Rance, Cotch and Martin in their age profiles what other course do you take?
I think a healthy dose of common sense and reality wouldn't be unhelpful
The time Cotchin and Martin spent in the midfield could have been reduced even more if a few things hadn't of occurred.
Vlaustin , Conca, Graham (inj), Miles at VFL and Caddy( no form) .
I think so, I think Cotchy's form is more about attitude then players around him.

No doubt we were bent over in the Prestia trade. I reckon there was a degree of panic in signing him. In previous trade periods we'd missed out on Treloar, Shield had re-singed during the season so we needed to land somebody and payed overs for a solid but not A grade talent.
It's not only the effect of losing an early pick that hurts but having 750k a year in the salary cap tied up over the next 5 years. It greatly reduces our chances of making a play for an A grade talent when it does become available.

Not crying, just questioning. It's all a matter of opinion, I happen to think we over payed.
Sounds like you are happy with the deal.

He's on the list now. It's done.
What ifs are redundant as a topical discussion. Recruiters will learn from this whether it's positive or negative.
No point rinsing negative s**t, everyone may as well get behind him as a Richmond supporter.

This thread relates to Prestia and when he doesn't perform then it's fair enough that people debate what was given up to obtain him.
It works both ways though, I praise the club for landing Nankervis and recognising him as a talent that fitted our needs.

Why? Everybody knows how we obtained him, it's not going to change his output or suddenly bring Sam Powell-Pepper to the club.
You can learn from past choices, but there is no point dwelling on them.

Just miserable people who have nothing better to do than pot the club
Settle down fellas
Prestia has been average this year, but, he plays well in the finals and we will keep number three on our backs.
Overall he is improving. Just hope his body holds up

The AFL has new data available to pundits on the afl app.
Prestia ran 15.3 kilometres against Brisbane.
Scully runs about 16 each week and is considered the best two way runner.
Given that he hasn't had a preseason he clearly a very good runner coming into fitness.
By the way Brandon is the best runner, followed by Lambert most weeks.

You settle down
Much of what you say is true but criticising the price paid for a player is criticising the club. It is not helpful and measures the club unfairly and out of context.
Perfection in list management is the aim but cannot be the expectation.
If you accept that club decisions won't all be perfect it helps because then your expectations are realistic.
For the first time in a very long time, we have genuine hope for the future
Get over whatever price was paid for Prestia and look at the big picture.
It's an exciting time to be a supporter of the Richmond football club.

Really don't get some posters taking exception to the crtiticism though and getting the sads. Members, Supporters have every right to question the clubs decisions relating to recruitment. Just focusing on recent decisions Yarran was a massive error in judgment and the Prestia trade will come back to bite us on the bum.
Don't place you in this category mate, your post is a good one, but I have a bit of a laugh at some of these muppets that jump up and down and are horrified that any one dare question the clubs decision making.
Compare the seasons to date and roles they have played , of Prestia and Jack Steele who cost a future 2nd round pick .
The club did pay to much .
