Yep really missed. Yet we refuse to bring in and give good game time to an inside ball winner like him. That problem is now exacerbated with the loss of Lambert and Dusty.We really need to pick genuine mids.

Stats not amazing but what a huge difference he and Cotch made in the middle FMD.

Took 3 of those bee atches to bring him down every time.

Draws mids, wins hard ball. Love the guy. I hope he keeps his body right from now til October.

Can you use the sub for precautionary reasons? I thought it had to be a genuine injury to be subbed off.

Sam Lansburger from the HUN saying on Twitter that it was hamstring tightness with Dion

Suggested Lambert will come in for Prestia

Yep. Confirmed by Dimma.

Midfielder Dion Prestia was substituted out of the game in the fourth quarter complaining of hamstring tightness and is in doubt for the West Coast clash, Hardwick said.

No ping, no tear, no strain. Purely precautionary as he felt the hammy tighten up. Will probably miss Sunday (could play if a Prelim/GF with the right management/treatment) and with the bye he’ll have 2 weeks off and he’ll be cherry ripe.

Tom Browne said Dion is having a scan tomorrow on his hammy. He won't be playing next week.
