Dion Prestia [merged]

I keep hearing 700 - 750k a season. Yet we also still require quality up forward and back. It's a lot of dough for one player is he worth that coin?

Cloke and dawson have it covered

Mark Stevens tonight said "Prestia is going to Richmond on a 5 year deal".

[Yeahright]

Okay I forgot GC got pick 4 so 6 --> 4 isn't substantial enough. I'd rather Deledio for Prestia and a 2nd rounder. But is that asking too much?

I think the only player I'd give 6 for is Fyfe. I'm sure there might be some other examples but you get my point. Otherwise we just need to keep it.

You mean the 2nd rounder that GC already have?

Or the one we gave them, who cares it's a hypothetical so it surely doesn't matter does it? They actually have something like 4 2nd round picks.

We are not even close. This would be another retrograde step if we give up our 1st pick for a serially injured player.

What is we trade a player? Take your pick: Edwards, Ellis, Lennon etc. (Rance, Jack, Cotch and Martin untouchable). Or Deledio and pick 6 for Dion an pick 2-3 whatever it is they may have

Offload players with currency over 26 and go to the draft.

yep, clean the middle tier out as well

I cant believe how highy some of you rate our recruiters

Good player. Hard at it and still young.  Price is the key.

Tigers set to offer Pick 6, five-year deal for out-of-contract Gold Coast Sun Dion Prestia

WANTAWAY Gold Coast midfielder Dion Prestia will nominate Richmond as his preferred home.

Prestia, 23, told the Suns of his desire to return to his home state of Victoria at the weekend.

It had been expected he would nominate Richmond as his preferred home and the Tigers confirmed the news on this afternoon.

“At 23 years of age, Dion has shown that he’s both a quality player and person, and he would be a great addition to our list,” Dan Richardson, Richmond’s General Manager of Football told the Tigers’ website.

Richmond said they would work with the Suns and Prestia’s manager in a bid to come to a suitable trade arrangement.

Prestia could expect to earn $700,000-$750,000 and the Tigers are set to offer a five-year deal for the Assumption College graduate.

Richmond is set to offer Gold Coast Pick 6 in the national draft, which would leave the Tigers without a selection in the first two rounds of the draft.

The Tigers last year traded away their 2016 second-round pick as part of the Chris Yarran deal.

Hate to be a Debbie Downer but just have a bad feeling about this. Just feel the club is going through a period of bad luck in combination with bad football management.

First we stuff up with our draft picks over a number of drafts, then resigning Hardwick too early and then we shift our attention to free agency and stuff up with Yarran.

Supporters might be looking back in 10 years time and say how we essentially shot ourselves in the foot with this list of errors and lost a decade in the process, really hope i am wrong (in all honesty similar decison making has already cost us three decades anyway).

[Diocletian]

So basically just a continuation of things?

[TigerLand]

Lol

According to SENS Courier Mail bloke (can't remember the name) pick 6 won't get the deal done with Prestia - they want a player.

Take your pick GC!
