It's been a disaster so far. I guess we all have to hope he gets a full pre-season and improves dramatically. Which begs the question of why we coughed up so much for an injury prone player in the first place?

Credit where credit's due, you did tell me about him in pm that draft year. You're still a campaigner though.

Yarran, who carlton posters here said had very big issues told us about what he was going through as soon as we were linked. We still gave up the pick for him....

i'm certain we would have picked up Bolton at pick 6 bc apparently we got the bargain of the century when he slipped to 29. Am i doing this right?

He's been a disaster so far. Griffin Logue wouldn't have had us scrambling for KPP's so much as we have to now especially with Griffiths looking gone and the realisation that Elton is useless.
I stand to be proven wrong, but the whole 'he didn't have a full pre-season' will get old quickly when people wake up to the fact Prestia is incapable of having a 'full pre-season'. Hi last four pre-seasons have been interrupted and with significant injury worries that will always impact him, Prestia will always be nursed through the summer to some degree.
It's th same old tired argument that gets wheeled out when people discuss Conca, Lennon, CEllis etc. - just accept some guys will never have a uninterrupted pre-season as they aren't built for it!
Where's old mate Rusty Trombone when you need him?
That's right he got banned
He told me Yarran was damaged goods a month or more before we drafted him.
More to the point that info came from ..... Carlton!

He was well known in most pub TABs in the Northern suburbs.

Geez, you only had to read Yarran's bio at the time to know he wasn't worth what traded for him. If an outsider can get that, what the * were they doing in at Clubland?Where's old mate Rusty Trombone when you need him?

I like Dion, but it is concerning.
He has been a dominant football player his whole life. His primary function in fact.
He knows how to kick a footy.
So what is going on?
He deadset nearly misses the ball.

It's all mental. Just needs a couple of tough kicks to come off and he will get some confidence back.

I would argue that it's all physical. Bloke can't kick 40m at the moment.

Bloke hasn't tried to kick it 40. I'm sure it's mental, he is much better user by foot than what he is showing. Give him time.

It's physical.
He was ok tonight.

Let's get physical definitely. He's unfit and probably running at 30% he was four years ago. The concern is whether he's permanently going to be poor bc of his injuries or if he can get back to his former glory.
