Have we done our due diligence on this guy?

The last thing we need is an injury prone Mid.

If anything I would see what we have to do to get Fyfe (assuming he is fit) and throw the sink at him instead of stuffing around/
My concerns also Mintie. No way should we cough up pick 6 on someone who has struggled to get on the park for the past two years and is hardly a guaranteed A-grader.

Problem we have announced openly in the media that we want him at the club. Need to ensure we do not cave in to an unjustified cost in obtaining him.

This is quite true Eliminator.

But could also work in our favour.
The more Prestia and the club talk it up, the less likely opposition clubs would be willing to throw their hat(s) in the ring. Thinking it is a fait accompli.

Could also push Sydney to accepting a deal that they would have earlier thought was unders.

Just another way of looking at it I suppose.

Pick 6 and Conca to GCS for Prestia and 22.

Worth a look that.

All that does is show just how dumb we were to pick Conca ahead of Prestia.

That trade is real ugly IMO

Throw Caddy and Heppel into that conversation and Conca at 6 is as big a disaster since Tambling. Good stuff Tiges!

Really don't want to give up pick 6 including shuffling to later picks to get him.

The small difference being that Bryce Gibbs has 3 years to run on a contract and hasn't publicly requested a trade to Adelaide
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

We need to make a play for Tom Mitchell. He is a bloody star and the exact type of player we need to help Cotch and Dusty in the middle. No frills, just a worker.
Forget Prestia, Mitchell is the one.

Thoughts??

Mitchell is a gun. Would be better than Prestia but cost more IMO
