Dion Prestia [merged]

[Tiger Khosh]

What a pickup!

[tony_montana]

One of the very best mids going around.

Not his usual game. Very disappointing IMHO.


Obviously trying to find the right balance with Tim and Jacob in the guts but you'd expect a better outcome in clearances but not so.

1 clearance isn’t enough from our most effective clearance machine.

I would’ve thought they would have found the right balance by now but it was a sub standard game by the one player that was normally our most effective barometer

Is he injured?

[Tiger Khosh]

Has been poor the past few weeks which is very very unlike him. Not sure what’s going on.

[Andyy]

Wonder if they're figuring out the midfield chemistry a bit but it's the worst I've seen him play in his whole RFC career.

Hope they work it out and all lift collectively.

[FooffooValve]

Definitely not fit.

[Damo]

Fit or not fit
I’ve never seen him fumble like he is currently

Agree here. last few weeks have been very unlike Dion.

[Tigeritis™©®]

A shadow of his former self. 

Almost like he’s not even there. Don’t notice him anymore.

[Buddysucks]

Looks hurt, ok in / around the contested stuff but the run and spread isn’t there at the moment.

[mightytiges]

Copped a knock in the 3rd qtr. Looked sore. Only had two possies that quarter and eight in total for the second half.

Prestia on 7news tonight said he will be one of those 'rested' sometime over the next 4 matches along with Cotch and Jack.

We've got three 6-day breaks in a row coming up after the Melb game (we play Suns, Eagles and then Geelong).

30 year olds being rested.. unsure about this. I guess Prestia has injury history but I hate the idea of not having our best 22 playing.

[Andyy]

This guy is playing as bad as vlastuin.

Love them both but gee they look terrible so far this year.

Dunno what it could be but he's fumbling, poor disposal, struggling to get to contests etc. Could it have anything to do with T & H inclusions?

[Francois Jackson]

rested laughable. Its not April fools.

cotch Jack fine, but bloody hell are these guys 40 year olds or something. Must have been all the non footy handling drills they all did over the last few years.

It appears to have tired them all out.
