Player Watch #3: Dion Prestia

[Morro]

Tbh Morro not many questioned ability , but durability,

Nah pre trade mate, heaps questioned his ability.

I would never have argued durability.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

That was s big hit on the Meatball by Varco he did well to play out the game with a fractured rib I reckon it’ll be 2-3 weeks

 

[turtle27]

This can't be right, we don't have injuries? I'm confused?

Injuries magpie

Tbh Morro not many questioned ability , but durability,

Can’t really question durability in this case. Just unlucky

 

[biaseddustyfan]

Don't send him to gold coast

No point

Should rest up to 10 players from that game

 

[DrMike]

Reckon he would have played this week if it wasn't Friday night

 

[Sir_Loin]

Who comes in? Would have to be one of Miles, Lloyd or Ellis

Fractured? Thought just sore?

 

[Danog]

Fractured.

Rest him this week and next, IMO. Bring in vs Essington.

 

[tony__montana]

geez! Ribs linger, he'll miss 2 but he'll be sore for a month at least

 

[Roachy8]

Rotten luck - so vital and was playing great footy.
IMO was our best in the first half.

 

[OhhDeledio]

Varcoe is turning into a bit of a sniper. Just runs straight off of the square at a centre bounce and just cleans up blokes. Did it to Daulhaus think this year or last and got him in the head.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Delicious isnt it

I had few posters supporting my position but some very vocal detractors swinging wildly have once again been found out for their lack of knowledge.

He was an A grader before injuries at the GC, its not like I predicted his ability on potential, it was there for all to see.

My fav post was from TRIB - He plays the same role as Miles but arguably not as well (something like that anyway) , ****in bahahahahahahhahahahahhaha

Felt like we were the only ones happy he came to tigerland

 

[TigerImposter]

Damn another midfielder down. Our highest ranked midfielder in terms of possessions is Dusty and he’s 37th in the comp and Miles off last seasons form .
We were steamrolled by Collingwood in the guts and this is why I’m not overly happy about getting Lynch as we need to launch operation get midfielders.
Pooh Pooh

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Good hit unlucky dion but it could of happened to anyone. Miles to come in for a week or two

Fox sport reporting fractured unfortunately.

You reckon mate? People are suggesting the Silky Butterfly.

Yer Milesy because you know what you’ll get - not the same quality as Dion but a 100% effort.

I’d be tempted to bring in Lloyd as well as he can play midfielder minutes too. I know a Miles + a Lloyd doesn’t = a Prestia but it’s the best we can do at the moment

 

[Mr Magic]

Not very durable.

Would not surprise me if he took a 100K pay cut to help Lynch come to Tigerland!

 

[juss]

The good thing is it's an unrelated injury and these things dont have risk of becoming chronic and generally dont recur, they are just bad luck impact injuries. Give him a few weeks off, another mini preseason if we must, Prestia is an absolute essential for finals.

 

[Stylo]

You surely can’t question his durability based on a hit like that. Would’ve cracked anyone’s ribs.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Has to be miles or Lloyd

A bloke getting hit in the ribs while not looking is hardly a durability issue it’s just you sinking the boot in
