Prestias not worth all the money and trades at the end of the day if the entire gold coast line up was available he'd be behind ablett, omeara, hall, swallow and potentially martin? Wtf selling the farm for a bloke who's 6 years into his career and at best is the 5th or 6th best mid in an ordinary team. If we keep losing we'll have pick 4 and depending on the bombers could end up with will Brodie or mcluggage? And we'll get the bonus of their first 6 years playing for us its like losing out on all but one year of dustin martins career to this date. We traded away Daniel wells for Kane Johnson who's been retired for an eternity. The tiger faithful's desire for a doozy is gonna bite us on the bum. Prestias not that good. Look at all the guns kids at the saints or bulldogs. Cos they went to the draft. Freo and gold coast will want local kids. We're gonna get an amazing kid who hopefully plays 200- 300games for us. We haven't had such a crack at a low pick since before the compromised drafts. Go to the draft we can get another deledio or martin.

Sando on Naish

“I think he’ll play a fair bit in the midfield in his draft year... more wing and maybe some inside mid work.

“At the moment, we’re seeing his best footy across half-back.

“He’s a very good decision-maker and exceptional kick... a perfect set-up kick across half-back.

“Looking forward to a really developing year (from Naish) this year into, hopefully, a dominant season next year.

“I really like him. I think he’s going to be a very good AFL talent.”

He is a mile behind Martin.

Ainsworth is playing in the guts now.

No way we are giving up first pick for Presti even in a down trade, no ******* way, he is not even in the top 10 ball park, not even close!!!!

Our first pick could net us a highly rated key forward. Id be inclined to grab one at the draft. And a second on josh battle with a later pick in the 2nd round. That secures our future after jack and sign griff to a 1 or two year deal.

Prestia we need to be creative to land in a trade. Next years first is my first thought. Any players out of contract this year we wish to trade should be for picks next year to acquire points.

The club has been courting him for over 16 months. They obviously within the 4 walls thought that our list was nearly there and needed some cream to top us up. We also scream when we want a player and he chooses to go elsewhere eg treloar. We also scream why no top player wants to come to us. Now if we go back on our word with prestia as he has agreed to join us how is that going to help with the other 2. I'm not saying that his worth top 5 6 or whatever i'm just saying you should keep your word even if you made a mistake and face it.

Nope, go back on the word, Blair is a dick and piss both off!!

He does not go down in value. Just about every player goes down in value from 2010 draft to 2016 because they are older.

There do not have to be 16 better footballers. !6 footballers will play longer than Prestia from 2017 regardless of quality.

There could be 16 footballers equal to Prestia in quality and there are worth far more because Prestia has given up 6 years of his career already
This premise of age, as some sort of basis of rating players, is so flawed.
