Interesting that Prestia nominated Richmond, maybe he went for them growing up? Can't think of anything else. No offence to Richmond but that place isn't looking great right now and if I was a player id steer well clear.

Also his chances of any success there is pretty low.

Not everyone is success driven ...

Kelly and Daniher tie 2nd in the BnF.

i wouldnt give up pick 6 for prestia.

You have a good midfield, you don't need him. Richmond do.

 

[Magma]

i mean from a richmond perspective

 

[Jatz]

Why wouldn't you?

Don't forget their recent draft history. Pick 6 doesn't guarantee them a good footballer. Prestia is that and is that now.

 

[Cooldude]

Age 23 is too young for a footballer like Prestia to semi-retire at Richmond and become irrelevant

 

[NUFC Tiger]

I think the hope is we downgrade 6 for a later first rounder and trade that to Gold Coast for Prestia - though apparently they are stacked with top 25 picks so might be more keen for players.

Will be interesting to see what we net for Vickery (if he goes) as well as Conca and Lennon who apparently want out.

 

[jod23]

I expect Gov and JK to make the final 22. Maybe Gaff.

 

[Magma]

tommy keough delisted by the gold coast. come back to westies please.

 

[go you pups]

Averages 24 disposals and 5 clearances a game. Would be one of the best players at Richmond next season.

Yeah that's Rihcmond though........

 

[go you pups]

Top 6 pick gets you a top prospect but only that, a prospect. Trading it gets you a guaranteed AFL proven A grade midfielder in this case.
Even with their list they'd be boneheads to turn Prestia down and take a prospective 18yo.

I'd expect pick 6 to be more durable

Like I much rather Wingard, Macrae or Francis than 15 game a season vanilla Prestia

 

[go you pups]

I'd be chucking pick 6 at Tom Mitchell, not Prestia

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Kelly and Daniher tie 2nd in the BnF.

Told you he'd be value.

 

[Magma]

personally i feel those high picks are for elite mids or top shelf kpp's

Tom Mitchell is an average disposal. I was a big fan of his but I think it was SM (maybe some one else) that may have pointed out some of his flaws which I began to notice. Seems like he might be one of those players that looks better in a better team.

Disagree

Ball magnet from day one

Regularly has to play the team role due to Kennedy and Parker around him, such as running with opposing inside mids.

Elite extractor, consistent too, would be a huge chop out for Dusty and would give Cotchin freedom to receive the footy.

No injury issues either which is a pet hate of mine with midfielders as imo it should diminish value.

Prestia, vanilla, struggles with a tag, injury prone. B + at best imo. A grade status is a myth

Yep. He's in the same mold as Rocky. He's an accumulator but doesn't do much with it.

 

[Fryer Tuck]

Sooo, Tape and Stanley are now gone from the Suns.

Am I wrong in thinking there's only three original Suns left? (Harbrow, Ablett, and McKenzie?) You would've thought a younger team would stay together for long, but amazing how quickly it all disappears in 5 years with McKenzie the only notable draftee, (sigh, our 2010 side...)

 

[go you pups]

A shitload of people do not rate Rockliff for example, yet he's virtually the same type of player as Prestia plus is way more productive

Eerrrrr

Lynch? May? Thompson? Matera? Swallow?

May, Lynch, Harbrow, Rischitelli,Hall and Matera are still left.

Their drafting has been crap, gone for too many outside players and lacked the grunt that GWS went for
