[Bazzar]

Finished the year equal 12th in the coaches votes.

If this bloke doesn’t come top three in our B&F I’ll eat my non existent hat.

 

[Phar Ace]

Still think Scrimshaw will be a good player, but fu** me so grateful we ignored all the noise and traded for dion instead of hitting the draft. Wouldn’t of won the flag without him

Yep, same. Wanted the deal when it was unfashionable to say so and thought Pick6 was cheap.

Called that he would win it in round 3

Been sensational this year

 

[Phar Ace]

most players look fairly ginger the day after a tough game

he has 2 weeks to recover, with the care AFL players get he should be fine

The second day was often worse still for me, though ice baths and light runs / exercise improves that in modern footy.

100%, second day after a game is worse for sure

these guys get around the clock treatment though, so by midweek they are moving well

Watching replay thought he got a knock with about 10 mins to go but played out the game and was only on the bench for about the last minute or so
Two weeks off should see him right to go
Super important to the way we play

Very important to the way we play, would not suprise me if the BLs tag the human meatball with plenty of relish!

For the record Prestia did not cost pick 6.

He cost Pick 6 ( 1751 ) + Pick 38 ( 465 ) - Pick 24 ( 756 ) = Pick 9
1751 + 465 -756 = 1460 ( Pick 9 )

In player terms Sam Petreski-Seton +Jack Petruccelle = Dion Prestia + Cerdic Cox

We came away like bandits

Oh very good explanation of those pick ratings! Sooo pick 9 for the Meatball! Well done all around!

Hopefully it is like the Lynch one , he was hobbling around & we all thought the worst , he ended up playing that week, Dion at least can have a weeks rest !

unbelievable how he has managed to play every game! touch wood he keeps it up. so impressed with him this year, his ability to be so calm in tight and close is crucial, and he slips away like a bar of soap in the rain

for me he is leading the b and f, its him, dusty, houli, grimes and vlastuin as my predicted top 5

any word on his achilles?

Pretty sure it will be fine with the break

 

[GastevsBeard]

Pretty sure it will be fine with the break

very much hope so, given we got a bath in the midfield round 23 he will be critical

 

[Jozzy]

I seen he was on the Sunday Footy Show this morning, I didn’t watch it but did anyone know if he made comment on his injury?

Thanks for that mate, reassuring to hear.

And people were complaining about the coin we signed him on. Worth every cent.

Is he okay?

 

[joelsyt]

In the end money well spent.

I love him, he’s such a good player.
