Pick 6 and go to the draft or Prestia?

[Francois Jackson]

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.

[Chuck17]

Drafting the best youth we can is a big part of the issue

[Yeahright]

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 )

[tdy]

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

[Knighter]

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.

[Penelope]

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.

no,
what people are saying is that they believe that keeping pick 6 and going to the draft will be a better result than trading it for prestia.

on what basis would any sane person think that?

Prestia will be a better player than pick 6 next year. I think people are saying in 4 to 5 years pick 6 is a good chance of being better than Prestia and that we won't be challenging for at least that time. Does that make sense?
