Great in round 1

Struggled for fitness for 2/3s of the seaon

Bit his final 8 weeks were excellent

Showed why we got him

Will be better next season with a full pre-season

[Chuck17]

Meatballs smashed it

Absolutely huge pick up and worth the pick we gave up

[tony_montana]

what they said ^^

last 7-8 weeks was great and gave us a glimpse into how valuable he'll be fully fit. Key part of our success

[rogerd3]

Huge in the G/F

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Everything came together in the last 2 months. Which the coach promised, this one was truly a triumph for the conditioning staff and player.
A pivot for us through the midfield - stood up in the GF when it mattered

[Slipper]

Also think he was a key reason Caddy joined us, which worked out pretty well as well.

[dwaino]

Can’t wait to see him after a proper preseason.

Stood up in finals. Already better than Deledio. 

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

Most of my thoughts have already been said.

He might be messy by foot at times but my word he is elite with his hands. Sorry Miles, love your work but Dion is a class above.

[Simonator]

Most on here had already made their minds up by round 10... boy did he prove valuable.

[eliminator]

He was outstanding in the Final series. Stood up when it most counted in the Grand Final. Fantastic pick up.

did he have a better year than Vlastuin? most people are voting no.

not sure thats the case

[Diocletian]

Vlastuin was consistently solid all year whereas Prestia was putrid for at least two-thirds of it - dont know how anyone can't be sure as to who had the better season overall....
