This poll is on the other sites so we may as well join in.
I would rather drafting a young gun than give up pick 6 for an injury prone B+ inside mid.
22 games in the last two years make him a risky proposition, far riskier than pick 6.

Conca says hello

Pick 6. Gold Coke can GAGF'd. Their club is a joke and should be boarded up ASAP

Conca says hello
Are you Reece?
Well, hi Reece! What type of pasta do you like?
-
Should start a new pole to see how many people think our list management team can actually draft a gun with pick 6 to begin with.
Fact is if our first round picks had turned out to be Prestias instead of Vickery, B Ellis, Lennon, Vlastuin and Conca we'd be far better off.
Only Martin has worked out in the last eight years and it's too early to call C Ellis and Rioli.
Prestia is a proven player and young. Two years with injuries but nothing career threatening afaik. Definitely worth using pick 6 here if we get change or the chance to trade B Ellis and bring back pick 9.
-
Keep,six and get a kid who won't be in the side until dimmer is fired, therefore undimmerfied.

Yep needs another poll option, keep pick 6 and draft another under performer
-
Straight swap NO
Package up a player, pick 6 for Pestia and pick 8 or their soon to be pick 10 then YES
Poll option are too restricted
-
Keep Pick 6!
GAGF Gold Coast!

im truly amazed that so many people are so sure that we will recruit a better player than prestia with pick 6
What is this overwhelming endorsement of our recruiters based on?

I guess what people are saying is give them next years first. If Prestia is that good, we will improve our position considerably. That means we may have pick 12 or 13 next year. If you believe we won't improve and we may even go down, why should we waste $750K on a player who won't take us anywhere? May as well save the cash and splurge it next year on a FA like Fyfe and at the same time attack the draft with courage.

Like the difference that treloar had with the Pies y&b?
Prestia won't make any difference until the whole joint gets cleaned out.

I guess that's my point. Why waste 750K on a guy who won't make a difference?
Make long term decisions and draft the best youth we can.
-
Drafting the best youth we can is a big part of the issue
-
If we don't think pick 6 is worth risking on drafting a young player then we may as well pack it in because it's not often you get a better pick to use. Just trade every pick every year (I know there are rules before some know it all wants to correct me ::))
-
Geelong traded almost every pick last year. Can be done especially if u get a dangerfield
-
Getting Prestia is just for Dimmers sake, not the club's
-
I would rather get a rioli than a Prestia but WP has a point we could get rid of ellis and or Houli and get a pick back. We need to stay in the draft.

Hmm grasping at straws there Ox, dont let facts get in the way of the disdain (hate) for Hawrdwick
we were after him last year, tried to get him when at that time alot of people thought we'd be top 4 side in 2016
We've targeted Prestia for quite some time

funny I thought we targeted Treloar and Hannebery last year
It seems we just throw the line out hoping one of these bites
Dimwit knows it's now or never and if he truly had the clubs best interest at heart he would dump Conca bellis and hand in his letter of resignation
Scum bag is trying to save his own job at the expense of the future of the club
-
Have a look at what Clarkson is doing. He knows the game has changed and dumping his slow players in Lewis and Mitchell in return for youth. Meanwhile stuffen Dimwit is on holidays trying to work out how to make love to his wife!!!

How many is , a lot of people ?
I know I didnt.
14th was my prediction but that's not the point.
You say we have targeted him for a long time...Yeh, Dimmers time,
which is pretty much the proof that it's for Dimmermentia's sake or at least,his vision.
And you know how that's turned out.

Not sure you are right here WP.
Regardless if we have been after him for a while, Halfwits never been under so much pressure to make the finals. Him trading away PICK 6 now for Prestia is to try and keep his job. Not that I think it will help him.
You don't often get a pick as good as this, especially when the draft is so even at the top end, so we need to keep it and hopefully draft the next Bont, not trade it away for an injury prone, 4 foot, B grader.
I'd be happy to get Prestia on board but it cannot be for that pick 6.
Ideally we keep pick 6, get Caddy and Prestia and off load some of our players in the process.
I can be done.

Pick 6 will go for Prestia
Lids deal is focused on getting a pick back
-
The club is stupid plain and simple
If they had any brains they would have packaged 6 and Vickery pick for 2 mid teen picks and offer GC that.
Now they will part with an injury prone 4 footer for pick 6 where hawks grabbed a genuine a grader for 14
Balme and Dan working their magic

Correct me if I am wrong but Vickery was a restricted free agent that was out of contract. He accepted Hawthorns offer so l don't think we had any option to package him with pick 6
-
what i meant in an era where the clubs are after academy points- pick 6 and vickery compo pick would have surely netted us 2 teen picks. one for prestia and one for us?
we seem to be once again putting all our eggs in the one basket much like yarran last year.

Well we still have both pick 6 and 27 so that option is still on the table. I will make my mind up on this trade period after the 20th as i dont believe makeing fast trades or more trades is really important. Some (most) of what you read on here or in the media is probably crap and there is no way of picking what is and in not.

Jagar is more injury prone then dion lets face that sure he maybe a better player but its yet to be seen how his knees hold up... dion missed what the last 3-4 games id be resting my body as well if yah getting smashed each week and making sure im right for preseason

From the Herald-Sun trade-talk Q&A:
FROM VICKI ON EMAIL ...
Dan Richardson falsely accused the Richmond fans of being impatient in 2013 as justification for taking drafting shortcuts. In 2016 Dan seems to be still impatient and it at risk botching the Prestia deal. It has been reported that he is willing to settle for pick 30 as a sweetener in the deal but this would mean Richmond is getting right royally done over. The polls conducted by the three major Richmond supporter sites conducted polls late last week and about 80% of supporters would prefer pick 6 and taking it to the draft than Prestia. It seem that Dan is the impatient one as giving up pick 6 for a player that has only completed one full season and has only played 22 games out of the last 44 is massive overs. Unless we get a pick in the teens as a sweetener in the Prestia deal the we should take 6 to the draft.

The people at the club are idiots.
They're all scrambling to try and save their jobs and there is no cohesion in their many methods, one of which Is talking poo.

I was not talking about Jaegar i was referring to Mitchell who is an A grade footballer and whom they got for pick 14/500k Yet we want to get bent over for pick 6 and a bloke on 700k??
be serious

some posters here who like to defend the current admin are the biggest idiots imo....

Makes sense that we give up pick 6 6 years after we should have drafted him with pick 6. 666. We are run by the satin worshipping illuminati.

Based on viewing the players at TAC cup level they are more progressed than Prestia was at at the same stage. I would say they have a greater than 50:50 chance of being better. I'm talking about players like McCluggage, Brodie, Taranto, Ainsworth etc etc.
Do you even bother following the juniors because you seem ignorant of the talent pool this year.

Poisoned chalice right there - I still recall the infamous line
"tambling in year 3 is tracking better than mcleod was in year 3" :lol
Players respond differently to a professional environment, not to mention mindset plays a massive massive role ie Dane Swan - plodder who worked his arse off and had the mindset of a champion to become an elite midfielder. So saying there'd be a better chance to land someone better than prestia with pick 6 is a stretch.
Having said that Im only playing devils advocate here and would prefer we work it so we get prestia and a first rounder. To improve quickly, we need to bring in more good players than other sides are to improve quicker otherwise we're always treading water - Prestia instead of pick 6 is a sideways move and wont improve us quicker than other sides, prestia plus a first rounder = an extra bluechip player on the books and will help us improve quicker

do you even take notice of what happens year in year out, because you seem extremely ignorant of out track record with drafting and developing.
or is there something exceeding special about this years draft pool that gives you extreme confidence that not only will the strike rate of 60% for top 10 picks be overcome, our inept at drafting and developing will also be overcome.
just for fun, why dont you list our top 10 picks under Jacksons watch and which ones you would regard as better players than prestia, all things considered?
-
I cannot believe we are even considering Prestia for pick 6. Regardless if we get something back as well. (Pick 27 odd)
He is a good average player and far from damaging.
Pick 6 could end up being another Reece Conca but it also could be a Bontempelli. If that is even remotely a chance you have to take it. You can build a side around a kid like that. We need to stop drafting and trading for vanilla type players. We play it way to safe IMO.
Bite the bullet Tigers and put your balls on the line- it may even pay off- let's face it, the other way hasent worked.

clarke is our recruiter this time round and last yr apparently, not that i buy our man francis doesnt have any input.

WTF?
Why do you even follow our club?
If you can't back the recruiters in getting a good player at 6 you may as well go follow another team.
Blah blah blah about historical events. I note our best players are all first rounders anyway. 2 of them later first rounders too.
FFS , following a team means you back them whether you like it or not. We can't go out and buy a whole team so we need to recruit most of our players. Facts show that later picks are less likely to be good players. So even if you don't think we can recruit anyone decent at 6 we still have to back our guys to make the right call. We may as well give up being a club if we throw up our hands in the air and say we are not good enough to recruit decent talent at pick 6.
-
Our recruiting has been abysmal apart from
Lids, Cotch, Dusty, Jack, and especially Fiora, Tambling, Conca, Lennon
Whoever we pick at 6 will ruin that player with our current set up and coach.
The worst thing is i dont even know how Prestia will go.
I would expect him to stay on the park, play at least 18 games next year and be more productive than Miles.
If that happens it is a win.
Pick 6 will probably languish in the 2's and be a skinny left footer
-
Give pick 6 to Brisbane for Rockliffe & pick 16 then give 16 to GC for Prestia... effectively Prestia & Rockcliffe for pick 6.... :shh

Don't forget Rance. Easily the best pick/developed player since the draft was introduced IMO.

I'd give Claw Betamax's job too.
Actually most on here would do a better job than the current regime. :rollin
-
l will laugh at the club if they trade pick 6 instead of picking the talent out of the draft.
Prestia is not worth a pick in the top 40. He has played limited football because his body can't handle the punishment & some of you think his some midfield god :rollin wake up from your slump
He is another Griffiths :lol plays a few games & sits on the sidelines other weeks watching. You don't give up 1st round pick on a spud sitting in the stands. That is the reason our club has alot of spuds & a deluded coach. The best options are in the draft.
Our club is the sucker of other clubs. The reason our club is where it's at, Because Tigerland is the dumping ground of other clubs to clog our list up every year. No-one is prepared to take the risk down there nor have the balls to say your not what we want to move forward. Well Peggy certainly has none as she has no idea. Edwards will never win us a premiership. l rather get Lewis from Hawthorn who give's 10 times the effort every week & stands out in a game. If Deledio wants out of the club because his another one sitting in the stands often, Then make the big call & move him on. Has Richmond traded anyone while l been away. l have heard no news :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :thumbsdown :thumbsdown :thumbsdown

I was all for us trading 6 for 2 x first rounders in the teens then forcing GC to take one of those picks for Prestia and they would have. I dont think 6 wouldve got rockliff and 16 imho, probably 6 and 27
-
Some laughable talk about Prestia.
Kid is a gun inside mid.
Couple of injuries the last two years, but nothing to suggest he is actually injury-prone let alone finished. And yet people cry murder at the prospect of trading Deledio FMD.
Mitchell by comparison has had two good years and despite having a higher ceiling imo hasn't proved himself as much as Prestia - based on a longer timeframe of good performances and the fact Mitchell is suited up with Kennedy, Jack, Hannebery, Parker, McVeigh etc whereas Prestia has G Ablett and then not much else.
Worth pick 6? Not in isolation. RFC knows this and this is why the negotiations are taking so long.

or is there something exceeding special about this years draft pool that gives you extreme confidence that not only will the strike rate of 60% for top 10 picks be overcome, our inept at drafting and developing will also be overcome.
just for fun, why dont you list our top 10 picks under Jacksons watch and which ones you would regard as better players than prestia, all things considered?
WTF?
Why do you even follow our club?
If you can't back the recruiters in getting a good player at 6 you may as well go follow another team.
Blah blah blah about historical events. I note our best players are all first rounders anyway. 2 of them later first rounders too.
FFS , following a team means you back them whether you like it or not. We can't go out and buy a whole team so we need to recruit most of our players. Facts show that later picks are less likely to be good players. So even if you don't think we can recruit anyone decent at 6 we still have to back our guys to make the right call. We may as well give up being a club if we throw up our hands in the air and say we are not good enough to recruit decent talent at pick 6.
:lol
what a mental rant

And it didn't justify a thing either :lol

Some laughable talk about Prestia.
Kid is a gun inside mid.
Couple of injuries the last two years, but nothing to suggest he is actually injury-prone let alone finished. And yet people cry murder at the prospect of trading Deledio FMD.
Mitchell by comparison has had two good years and despite having a higher ceiling imo hasn't proved himself as much as Prestia - based on a longer timeframe of good performances and the fact Mitchell is suited up with Kennedy, Jack, Hannebery, Parker, McVeigh etc whereas Prestia has G Ablett and then not much else.
Worth pick 6? Not in isolation. RFC knows this and this is why the negotiations are taking so long.
Good post.

Injuries requiring operations and resulting in missing an entire season spread over two years.
We gambled on Yarran and lost we can't afford to gamble on Prestia at $700k per year and our best pick in the draft for 6 years.

Watch him play, look at his numbers. And he's the type of inside midfielder we sorely need.
On what would you suggest he isn't a gun?
No need to be a bully just because you have nothing constructive to say!

Look at his numbers ? l have 0,0,0,0,0, You been watching football lately. He sits in the stands ;D :birthday

I watched his highlights package and was underwhelmed, granted, this a convoluted depiction of his overall contribution. Looks like a solid foot soldier rather than an special
I am getting an impression that next year is supposed to be a good draft though, so maybe we are thinking to get a few solid citizens in and skip the lottery this time round. A few things might come up from our zone etc.

Along with blokes like Nat Fyfe who was even worse than Prestia this year. And Deledio?
Please...

Wouldn't worry too much about TM, he was and still probably is John Butchers biggest fan

I'd be happy enough to trade 6 for Prestia. Of course, everyone would like to get Prestia in without giving up pick 6, but sometimes you've gotta bite the bullet and do the deal. Prestia is a proven performer when fit, and is young enough to overcome recent problems. If you look at the hit and miss nature of top 10 picks, even in the last 5 years, it makes sense to target players that have performed well at the level.

and beyond that, Hardwick will be his coach.

Agree
And twitter is a flutter that we will get Prestia and picks 24 and 40.
Which can be used on the Nakwrvis deal

That's better

I'll wear that. Worry about trading back into second round next year.
