Dion Prestia [merged]

Comparing McCrae to Ellis says leagues about your footy acumen. He or Boyd should have won the Norm Smith in the Granny.

  if you don't think he's an improved Ellis then you've obviously got your blinkers on. Saying he deserved the Norm Smith doesn't even deserve a response

Oh really?.....You came into my headspace and once again you cower and I win...I do pay the price of feeling a bit dumber having  conversed with you though.....but I'll get over it.

On McCrae, his stats weren't bolstered by clearances following chip kicks to oneself after kicking out from opposition points. He also had 4 crucial clearances and almost double the contested possessions of Johannisen. He was a close 2nd to Johannisen re DT points but was much more effective when in counted . All nuanced thinking I know, but try to squeeze some energy out of your necrotized neurons pleeaasssse.

By the way you referred to me as a 'supporter' in a recent post.....I prefer the term 'reformed member'.

You have put a lot of thought and energy and psychotropic drug abuse into this post...  for some reason

Not really, it just rolled off the tongue whilst perusing a tender, watching the US debate and listening to trade radio. My drug of choice is a cup of coffee but if you're willing to share some of your 'stash' PM me.

The Prestia deal looks even pootier now that we don't have a first round pick in what some experts say is a very good draft.

WTF would they not insist on a higher pick in this draft. Unless they know dimwit is out the door and the new coach will be armed with 2 inside 20 next year and 4 inside when we lose dusty.

Sorry, what? Not sure how I came into your headspace and am now cowering but if that's how you feel, then good for you. I'm glad you feel some sort of superiority for disagreeing with someone on the internet. Wonder why that is?

Hey I didn't have Johannisen as my pick for Norm Smith but I guess simple minds just assume because I don't agree with one thing, it means I agree with the other. I would have picked a few others before him, one of them being Boyd , alas.

Lastly, that post had nothing to do with you except you were one of two people who mentioned 'members', assuming I'm thinking of the right one. Rather, it was a tongue in cheek comment directed towards ol' mate YBB. I know it's difficult for you to think that maybe I didn't even realise it was you who posted because I don't love you as much as you love yourself but it's true.

If only you could progress an argument as adeptly as you regress one....sigh....
I'll let you in on a little secret.....come close now.......(whisper behind a cupped hand) - "I don't take any of this too seriously", myself included.

I think you do

[peggles]

essentially we got Prestia and Caddy for pick 6 and future 2nd rounder
pretty solid deal.

esp when you consider we will pick up another 1st rounder and 3rd rounder next year for Deledio

[MintOnLamb]

Did we do a full due diligence (body and mind) on prestia and caddy?

But we have 2 first round picks in next years SUPER draft

I always treat it with trepidation when one draft is called a strong draft and others a weak one. The only stand-out was the '01 draft, which didn't really prove itself until 5-6 years afterwards.

Richmond’s star recruit Dion Prestia will be able to complete a full pre-season with the Tigers

RICHMOND’S star signing Dion Prestia will be fit to complete a full pre-season at Punt Road as the Tigers prepare for the return of Chris Yarran.

The Tigers pre-season will start on Monday for their first-to-fourth-year players with Yarran committed to returning early after injury and mental health injuries.

Prestia, out since Round 16 following knee surgery, should quickly progress from the rehab group into full training.

He battled for most of the season with knee pain as the Gold Coast’s injury crisis worsened, but eventually succumbed to the problem.

That cartilage issue kept him out for the rest of the year, but Richmond says he is in good shape.

New football boss Neil Balme said Prestia would quickly progress once the club’s senior players returned to training.

“He will still be in the rehab group to start with, but it will only take him a little while to get out of it. It was a little cartilage issue,’’ he said.
