I think he played an awesome game. He is really just is so cool under pressure and loves getting the ball inside 50.

Think we all now understand why we got him

He's now played 4 finals and been in our best 4 in all of them  :clapping

Didn’t think he could kick it outside 50

"I thought (Prestia's) game tonight was outstanding and he had a lot of clearance and contested ball numbers – those things were very high," Hardwick said.

"He's just growing in stature, I think, as our season progresses."

Terry Wallace on SEN gave him best last night.

I thought he was good but I had about 5 players in front of him for BOG.

Not that it’s matters...

Not sure why but has some horrible shank kicks at times, if he can address his disposal issues he could be even more damaging.

Was huge in the centre....now if  he could just start actually hitting his teammates with more than one out of every half dozen kicks..... :shh

He’s a beast in the centre, I’m hoping his kicking improves as the season progresses like it did in 2017
“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.

Prestia had 10 clearances and 9 first possessions last night in his 30 possies (18 contested)  :o.

That one in the third last night to Neale-Bullen was an absolute coach killer.

He's playing well but has to be better than that.

I think the coaches need to address his constant kicking clangers, seems to me that he leans back on occasions so is not properly balanced. If he can sort that part of his game he could be so damaging.

“Having Trent out of the team for the last couple of weeks, I just thought it was a good time to stand up,” Prestia told 3AW.

“Getting more time (in the midfield), and helping out blokes like Jack Ross and Jack Higgins, who’s been spending more time in the midfield, it’s probably been why I’ve been playing better.

“I’ve just been focusing on how they’re going and helping them as much as possible.”

Prestia on MMM now said this year was the first time he could do at least 80% of the preseason and he has only missed one session due to soreness.

He's averaging 25 disposals per game this year and racked up another 25 possies last night.
