What was his midfield time last night? I really don’t understand playing Prestia of all people as a fwd.

He looks overweight.

He looks cooked. Was woeful

Looks too bad to be true
Clearly isn’t right
And if that’s the case he shouldn’t be playing

Best half of footy this year was as a forward against the West Coast Auskickers.  :shh

What has happened to Dion?  Was a key to us playing well previously but atm it's as if he has lost all confidence. Injury ? Change in players around him? Changed role ?  I just don't know but he can't seam to pick it up, make the right choice or hit targets. Something is off.

Actually thought it was one of his better games for the season (atleast for the first 2-3 qtrs) although that isn’t really saying much.

I know this is not a really popular opinion but I just think Dion and many others have gotten drunk on success and their desire and hunger is no longer there, and when you add age and subsequent injuries the end result is plain for all to see

Thought his game was ok and almost his best for the year.

Thought he was good, which made last week even worse.
Go Tigers!

I thought he was OK

Couple of times he refused to attack contests

That's not the Dion we are used to seeing

Play him as a small forward - would be an upgrade on Morris Mansell. :shh

Seems to be significantly slower than he used to be.

Did he play full time on ball second half? Looked like the meatball of old.
