Needs a stint in the VFL....works hard and clears space for teammates but his disposal, ball-handling & decision making are just too much of a liability atm....

Hoping a full pre-season will mean a different player. Don't have high expectations for the rest of this season based of what he's produced.

If this bloke isn't dropped it'll say to me that appearances are more important than performances and that there's truly is no even application of standards...was at least trying before but last night wasn't even doing that....has become a liability....

Still unfit/injured whatever. Didn't complete the last training before the game ? Why not just rest him for a few weeks over a steady load of fitness work

Why continue to make excuses for him?

If you are not fit at this stage of the season a couple of weeks of steady fitness load will make very little difference.

Prestia was not fatigued in the first 1/4 when he botched those two regulation handballs.

We just have to admit it we have purchased a sports BMW only to find the drivetrain is stuffed and the parts are no longer available for that model.

So as good as the motor is the only performance we can get out of it is equal to a Toyota Corolla.

I'm just stating the fact that he did not complete training.. suggests something is wrong doesnt it ?

I'll give him a full pre season before making my final judgement on the trade, but this year certainly hasnt been great.

As long as his body holds up there will be some posters that should hang there head in shame for their comments

Exactly.
These 2 went the early crow. Looking extremely foolish now.

He was pathetic last night and needs to be dropped or rested. I believe he is a good player and happy to have him but his form thus far is way off.
