Add Prestia and a fit Yarran into the mix next season as well as another solid KPD and we may start to look alright again.
Yes and than an injury or two and again we will see our depth in action. We need more then 3 players

It's a bit (a lot) of class that we are ultimately currently lacking.
We'd be a much better side with those 2 in plus if we can get Deledio right from the start of the season it would give us a massive boost.
Only concern I have is a partner for Jack in the forward line.
We literally have nothing up top.

Not only class but some pace. Yep Jack needs a hand, We need to Griffiths to be more consistent but also a more mobile Gunstan/Darling type as the 3rd tall target would be ideal.

Is Dion Prestia really worth our first draft pick?
I don't think so. Even though we aren't very good at picking up talent from the draft I still think we should keep our first draft pick.
Not even close to worth our first.

GC are laughing. Our trade team if this is the result are working for other clubs and are traitors!!

Providing Markov, Menadue, Rioli, Short and Castagna continue to improve and develop then I think they can be pretty handy depth.
They've all shown promising signs this year and another pre-season will do them wonders.

I agree but why did they drop menadue and george for? Surelly the way we are travelling they need to be kept at it along with some others.

Hasn't Prestia finished 3rd twice in their B & F behind Ablett & Swallow ?

Means nothing with all the injuries they have and a lot of their talent was flankers, rucks and KPP's.
Hard for the likes of May to get up there has a KPP like the brownlow

I would rather we picked up Steele than Prestia, at least he is younger and as size!!

The reason we are getting Prestia is obviously because we are reaching and overpaying again from idiots we have running the club!!

Mate I have no idea.
Menadue should be playing every game.
Keep in mind we still have Mcintosh to come back in to the side, he's another youngster who's shown promise.

vlas, grimes,grigg, miles,edwards better than prestia, NO ******* WAY,
GRIMES STATS 11
VLAS 15
MILES 22.5
GRIGG 21

PRESTIA 23.6, AND ALL EARNED HARD AND BRINGS OTHERS INTO A GAME.


Its not about stats it is about effectiveness on the field. Look at Cyril!!


Our club hides behind stats because they can't win finals!!!


How does Prestia go as a wingman, or backman?

Prestia is older than Treloar too!!
