He is on an individual program so he is either on catch up to fitness due to an interrupted pre-season or he is still carrying effects of the injury.

I saw him grab at his knee in the night game against Collingwood so I reckon he's done something in that game

I seen him kick an absolute shank last week so something must be wrong

His kicking has been flakey all year.

And that is his right foot his left foot is about as good as an u/10 midget's left foot.

Another great trade by Dud Richardson.  He can add this next to Yarran on his CV.  Big Fish.  How is this fool still at the club.
Does anyone have half an idea on anything?

What's the bet the club comes out in about 4 weeks and say he hurt his knee in the game just played.
Then proceed to say it's not serious and he should be back in a couple of weeks only to say about 6 weeks later that he has had a setback and is indefinite.

Then decide not to operate until midway through the next years preseason so he doesn't complete yet another preseason.

At best he will be a solid, safe player but pick 6 and $700k a year?? Not even close to be worth that.

Dion Prestia (six games): Has looked sore at times and his performances have been up and down, averaging a five-year low of 21.3 possessions and kicking poorly in some games.

Ive been one to have Prestia's back on this forum and in the non-internet world, but patience is wearing thin. If hes injured then dont play him. If not, what the hell is going on?

Exactly,  is it going to be one of those famous quotes in yrs to come from the club where they say "we'd just gone out and spent 700k per season plus pick 6 on this bloke, we felt the notoriously impatient tiger fans weren't going to cop having him not play so we felt pressured to play him injured"

Yep the supporters fault for demanding a big signing and the supporters fault for demanding him play even if injured.
