Today against one of the gun full forwards in the comp I realized I'd forgotten just how important Presti is to this side. He would've worn Fev like a glove and has the body strength that O'Brien and Brown are still lacking. I'm not saying he would've beaten Fev but Presti would've done a good enough job on him, the type of job that he did on most opponents before he was injured. Supposedly he'll return to via the VFL in the next 2 weeks. Let's hope he comes back to the senior side soon.

Agreed. Clearly needed him today.

Too easy to agree with, not having Presti has cost us both of the Carlton games.
He is the only defender we have capable of stopping Fev, as shown numerous times in the past.
Unfortunately, he is still 5-6 weeks from senior footy it would seem.
And while we are at it, wouldnt mind a fit Rocca and Brodie Holland, damn achilles.
hes beeen one of the best backmen for years on end, its a no brainer we need him back. just people get over excited with playing youngsters and think players such as presti and rocca we would be better off without.

wonder if clement still watches Collingwood
Personally, I don't think Presti would have been a difference in todays game.
The delivery to Fevola was just too good.
To beat Fev you need to win in the midfield. We failed in that aspect today.
