Rumour Prestia a Bluebagger

[RupetFan]

Jed Anderson went for Pick 15 and a swap of later picks, but you two think Hill has less value.

Sure.

Because North are stupid.

Clubs will offer something lowish, Suns will demand something highish. If the interested club values him as integral to their next flag tilt, they will budge further towards the Suns demands. If the Suns feel he is surplus to their needs, then they might move closer to the interested clubs offer. Then they will negotiate until terms have been agreed upon or not agreed upon, in which case the Suns will spruik him elsewhere.

Ideally, yeah, that'd be how it'd work, but all to often the player nominates where he wants to go, forcing the price down.

If Richmond truly are stupid enough to keep targetting top-up players, they've clearly learned nothing about the state of their list.

Mindboggling that they would waste draft currency on an injury-riddled Prestia, not to mention pay his outrageous salary demand. Glad Melbourne baulked at his manager's demands.

Can you call a guy who has played 100 AFL games at 23yo 'injury riddled'?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Because North are stupid.

Solid argument.

 

[RupetFan]

Solid argument.

Short and true. I liked it. You won't get a first for Hill.

 

[TheSunGod]

No he wouldn't. Clayton is a bastard.

Yeah - virtually stole Port's top ten and future second rounder for Dixon. The guy's almost a criminal.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

So he's still off to the blues?

 

[Since 2001]

So he's still off to the blues?

nah doesn't want to leave for a winning culture

 

[Great8]

So he's still off to the blues?

Maybe.
Wouldn't be relying on what the Purple stroker says.
As late as yesterday Hurley was off to the Dogs. He also had Hooker to Freo, Crouch to the Hawks and many more that havnt eventuated.
For the best news breaker in the business his strike rate of success is about 1 in 10

 

[LanceRomance]

I thought he was off to essendon

 

[Runk]

Well this is awkward.

 

[tigs2010]

Hopefully Carlton don't miss out on Tyrone too.

[SumTingWong]

Dion has apparently told the Suns that he wants to go to the Blues next season.

Lol

 

[CD__]

I shudder to think of the overs that Richmond had to pay if he did in fact choose them over Hawthorn.

 

[TBellicious]

My mistakes one and all, Carlton wouldn't budge from 450k a year for Dion, however Richmond were willing to go out and spend 700k a year on him.

 

[TBellicious]

Richmond has payed massive overs for him, but hey, kudos to them for landing the "big fish" they were chasing so hard.

I mean, with Jaeger O'Meara being rumoured to cost 600-700k, and with Richmond paying Dion 700k, it is clear that Richmond want to stay relevant in this aspect, seeing as they are irrelevant on the finals talks.

O'Meara > Prestia.

I thought that was Yarran by the way the tiger faithful were getting all juiced up about him this time last year.
If Richmond are going to pay $700k for Prestia they are utter morons. No way he is worth that much coin.

 

[Navara79]

Remember when Treloar was going to Richmond this time last year......

 

[F_therest]

Remember when Treloar was going to Richmond this time last year......

There was nothing as definitive with Treloar though...it was all speculation.

This time it seems much more solid that he has said he chooses Richmond.

But still anything could happen between now and end of trade period!

Why would we believe this when your other mail was wrong?

Carlton threw 700k at Daisy. Don't kid yourself if you think Carlton are shrewd negotiators. 700k seems unlikely given how much of a tightarse Dan Richardson has been.

Lmao. When has a player ever chose a club before talking money and contracts? No one believes a word you say.

 

[TiggerMan22]

Remember when Treloar was going to Richmond this time last year......

I remember when there was rumor that it was happening, along with 100 other rumors that didn't happen.
He never chose Richmond at any point

Carlton then and Carlton now are completely different, in fairness.
