Player Watch #3: Dion Prestia - Charged By Police (Innocent Until Proven Guilty)

[prodigy]

On Graham yes...Brodie No.

Watch him over the next few years vs Prestia as you suggested though! Hoping I'm wrong.

I wasn't referring to either.
I was referring to you saying we paid too much for Prestia which is too premature to say.

It really really annoys me when you adjust/edit your post after you initially post it. It was fortunate my app hung itself and I have to start the whole post again.

You can still play at the top level in recovery mode. It has been publicly stated that he has recently increased his training loads and that's where the improvement has come. Annoyingly I've now forgotten what the majority of my post initially said.

Anyways, it does my head in when people expect instant results from players on a long term contract. We recruited him with the knowledge he has been injured, so as an employer, I'm sure the RFC would adjust their expectations accordingly.
Five year contract, not five months.

All irrelevant and just simple excuses here as he's not playing at a satisfactory standard for the dollars. Anyway we could go over this all night and still be at the same point. Hope he proves me wrong though bc he was a risk just like Yarran. At leDt we're getting games out of him though guys like Grigg and Lambert are performing better than him.

How are they simple excuses? Lol. Is that what you say when you have no rebuttal?

Oh well, until the next discussion. Ciao.

They are bc you're avoiding the fact we paid top dollar for a bloke in his third year of rehab . Goodnight as you deserve it.

It can't be judged whether it's been a pass/fail based off of a dozen games.

Once again editing your post after you initially post it. It's just a really sad way to try and get the upper hand in a discussion you have clearly lost out on.
Not cool.

Which makes us both right, but I'm going on 56 games of data which stacks the cards in my favour.

Lost out on After you admitted its too early to make a call ?? Can you tell me the score as I'm uncertain what they are? Who's umpiring ?You appear to have an issue with inferiority. Considering you couldn't even interpret my first post the argument was over by then with me and I'm just playing with you like Gun does with you in the Lennon thread. You're hilarious as you change your argument quicker than the Melbourne weather does only to look sillier. Get some rest as you must be exhausted with all the points you've kicked.

What's done is done... agree or disagree, he's ours now. How about you just support the bloke as a Tiger and hopefully an integral part of our future, rather than going on and on and on about it?

As far as his previous bad luck with injuries, just look at Grimes and Astbury. Couldn't keep either of them on the park for a few years there. Now they're flying!

This is the Prestia thread and I can discuss what I want and it's obvious I support and wish him the best , but like other threads on players they have there ups and downs. To every Astbury or Grimes we have a Yarran Grifo or Conca . It's footy chat and not investment in our superannuation and life insurance policies .
Pretty average post mate and bordering on selfish as it appears you want to avoid the truth and just read fluff pieces. Don't take it seriously as its just chat.

Point is, if you're going to post something, do so with at least a semblance of respect and conduct.
Editing your posts to add in another paragraph worth of text after the fact is poor forum conduct in my opinion.
If you can't express yourself properly in one sitting then maybe you shouldn't even bother at all.
I'm sick of seeing "Last edited by Tigerimposter" under the majority of your posts, especially during a discussion.

I'm done with this. I'd rather not be threadbanned.

It's not done in contempt , but more in clarifying the argument for you as you're like a cat on a hot tin roof.

I commend you for trying but you'd have a better chance of convincing a flat earther the world is a sphere, some people just will not convinced despite the facts. Give yourself a break hit ignore and engage in productive arguments with the rest of the board.

Majority of the time we are okay with each other, it's just sometimes when he says something outlandish I feel the need to pipe up.
I apologise that you need to read through it, I'm sure the mods will clean it up in the morning.

You literally say the exact same thing every time someone questions you.
You call them a troll, tell them they can't comprehend what you're saying, then talk some crap about staying on topic, and finish talking about how you don't have time yet stay regardless.
End of the day prestia performance 2 of the last 3 games has improved, so has disposal efficiency, he actually went higher then cotchin yesterday. He makes us a better team, we all know you love a negative rant, but for once you really should just chill, we are what 14 games in to a 5 year deal?

Selfish? I'm not the one who takes up two pages on a thread making the same point over and over.

Absolutely correct, just over half a season in to a 5 year deal...

Also agree with prodigy, if any one saw him play a decent amount at GC and they knew football, this guy is a gun, i was fortunate to see a lot, albeit on TV as i live abroad, but i have the overseas membership and by virtue receive from RFC the AFL global pass, so i watch way more footy than my Mrs is happy with, Prestia is a gun, and as long as he plays 150+ games with us for pick 6 we won massively....

Move on and give me some hard facts. You're a waste of my time as I've made my point which is obviously beyond you interpreting it correctly. I don't care for your opinion as you're a thorn to the place when you come up with unproven facts such as accusing posters of being 90% irrelevant with their posting. My retort to that is at least they're 10 % lower than you. You obviously don't understand what a negative rant is and are just a troll.
I don't discuss with a negative rant , but discuss on poor decisions made by the RFC which have provided negative results over 35 years.so I'm at fault? Now is that simple enough for you? When there are the rare positives then I compliment the club for them. Now take a walk as your rudeness is demeaning to the place and I will not offer you anymore of my quality time.

I disagree its just trolling. Plenty of us are unhappy with certain aspects of the club, personally I think Hardwick has reached his ceiling, Hartley needs to be moved on, Prestia was a poor trade and I don't think CEllis or Lennon will make it (I hope they do and I want them to be given a chance) but we are 8-5 and should actually have a better record and have been a good home and away side since 2013 apart from last year.

But there are 3-4 posters on this site who are unable to relay anything positive about the club, cannot have sensible arguments and will not consider any argument but there own and those that reflect their opinion, for example despite my opinion of the Prestia trade it is done now and I hope for Dion to return to the player he was at GC. These other posters IMO are blatantly trolling and i wish they were moved on as I miss the days when the mods asked Sante Claws to not post here anymore.

Seriously if people quote you it's only etiquette to respond.
Great deflection and a great misunderstanding on the way I accused you of being selfish. Seriously mate.

You misread my first post then made an outlandish remark. Let's not forget the facts here . Remember I'm still laughing at some of your points you've scored. Are you still winning?

 

[biaseddustyfan]

prestia already better than whatever spud we woulda developed from pick 6

Did you even bother reading the second part of my response? Facts are as follows

Against North he was in our top 3 midfielders

Against Sydney it could be argued he was indeed our best midfielder

Against Carlton he arguably played better then cotchin and was good in the last.

The last 3 games has been a significant improvement as he has started training more

He is outperforming omera who went for a higher price

Richmond have jumped multiple spots on the ladder with his inclusion

Martin is having a career best season while Trent is playing the best since 2012.

Should I continue? I feel regardless your response will be predictable
