Prestia !!

When a player demands a 5 year deal its almost always a good option to move them on.
 
Don't think he demanded it. We offered it. He chose us based on our offer.

What we really did wrong was offer pick 6 to GCS. We didn't have to do that. We should have held firm on giving them less. Its looking like a terrible move in hindsight.

Well it wouldn't hurt them. "Our" track record isn't looking too bad.

From memory 80% of posters voted no to Prestia if it meant giving up pick 6 so why if posters could see the risk did our highly paid recruiters blunder blindly into the deal?

IMO it was driven by being seen to be able to land a player that a number of teams were chasing, aka The Big Fish.

There are so many players who went around Pick 6 I would have preferred... *sighs*

Watched AFL360 Monday night and Geelongs Scott mentioned crazy/maniac fringe about the outside supporters who go troppo on all areas of the club, and the fact they cannot listen and to the point ignore and block them, without discussion...

Well....... what do we have here..........Carry on lads

Wonder when the club will announce he is having knee issues?
Round 16-ish, season shot "yeah look, it's been a tough first year for Dion so we've booked him in for a clean out surgery to fix up those niggles so he's fit and firing for pre season"

Great. He'll be like a new recruit in 2018
 
After the loss against the Dockers or the Dogs, did I hear Dimma excusing Dions performance by saying something along the lines of 'he's still learning our system'?

Spare me.

Spare me.
He didnt play either of those games.
 
T-Shirt Tommy said:
Yes, correct. But I do recall him saying something along those lines after one of our matches.

He definitely said it about Caddy when he was saying that he had played him forward too much and would play him from then on in the midfield. Don't recall it being said about Prestia.
 
MELBOURNE surgeons have used a 3D printer pen filled with stem cell ink to “draw” new cartilage into damaged knees, opening up a world of possibilities for human body part replacements. (herald Sun)

There is hope for Prestia yet, maybe they can rebuild those dodgy knees.

"We can re-build him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster. Dion Prestia is the $3.5m man."
