I was making fun of you saying Broughton was 'brought on'. Lift.
He wasn't used all that well by Lyon but he was never dropped. Anyway, great get for you guys.
I have stated the same thing on this board a number of times and started the "Vlads visit" thread on this subject. It seems to me that to get anything built we will need state and federal funds (not easy in the current political climate) plus AFL funds. At $5m each that would build us a first class training facility. But I can't see it happening in the short term.
We also desperately need new admin facilities and I know for a fact that we have lost good people from this area due to the poor facilities.

It appears the GCS are doing an excellent job in locking in those players they deem would be targets of other AFL clubs if they were uncontracted.
It appears Clayton is the master of working the balance of talent, age, potential and positional players that have to be factored into list management.
Excited about Hall being signed.

Yep very happy with our list management so far. We don't get nearly as much credit as GWS get yet they got a lot more concessions whereas I believe we have done really well under more constraints. And yes I am a one eyed GC supporter.

It must be incredibly difficult for all list managers to deal with all the variables that are in play. Clayton is regarded by many as the best and I am sure he has a plan in place. His track record at Brisbane and Western Bulldogs was first class.
Watch the cream rise to the top!

It's in the OP.
All of our players are exempt from free agency for another 6-7 years, I think? Same with GWS.

Thats only because most people in Victoria thought that GWS would struggle te re-sign players, but clearly both new clubs are doing a great job re-signing players

It would appear the Saints fans are keen on Prestia. The original post in this thread has been quoted in their rebuilding thread called brick by brick. One even going as far as to say he would "move heaven and earth to get Prestia". I wonder if the Saints still have anything to offer the Suns other than their (probably top 10) draft pick this year? Keeping in mind Prestia is a top 10 draftee with 3 years AFL experience and has shown quite a bit more than some of players that went before him in the draft.

Will be a serious player. Id hope for a pick a bit higher than 10... maybe 4-8?
Regardless I think he will probably stay. However, I am prepared for the worst.

Of course they'd move heaven and earth to get him. He ripped them apart in round 1.

This talk of Dion so early in the year is depressing. Still fairly confident he will stay and will be signed soon.

Here - 10 Dion Prestia - 2013
obviously he's out of contract, but didn't we just re-sign 3 other guys a week ago? Looking at the first post there are plenty of guys out of contract at the end of this year, who's to say Prestia isn't going to re-sign?

Been saying it since the pre-season. And I hope I am wrong because he is such a weapon.
But I only think Dions chances of staying are 50% at best! I can see the benefits of letting him go if he wants to. Good trade value and clears the congestion up with the already extensive list we have to move on . . . But geez he has come on in leaps and bounds this year.
I think he will end up at Melbourne

Prestia for Frawley!! Make it happen
How about Prestia re-signs for 3 years and we get Frawley with our rd1 pick. Sounds good to me!

I can agree with that, but can also see another point in that. Use the rd1 pick to replace a prestia type and spread the age of our list
Love Prestia and trying to take emotion out of it, but he is short. Will be a very good 1 dimensional player for the next 10 years.

Frawley isn't off contract until next year, and Warnocks doing fine atm, maybe go for him next year with Geelong's first round priority pick?

If he comes out and says he wants out from Melbourne then well have to be quicker than that I think.
