Simon Prestigiacomo

[TheClokes]

When will Simon come into calculations?

 

[TwisTz]

Probably won't.

 

[The Dawes]

Probably depends on match ups, but he must be a chance.

 

[Smoky]

Has he been playing in the 2's?

 

[Anth_5]

yes he has been playing 2's

 

[Real Insight]

Was walking laps 3 weeks ago, haven't seen him at training since.

So I guess hat could mean he's training with the 2nd's.

 

[DaVe86]

How has he been playing in the 2's. I only watch the VFL games that are on TV, so i havent seen him play much.


Is his form good?

Otherwise, i think he'll retire at years end.

 

[shawthing09]

My guess is he will struggle to get back to ones level, even if I did I think he'd struggle and I think he will play out the year in the VFL and unless there is a major change, or Wakeling decides to retire, I think Presti will decide to bow out gracefully.

Rule changes he has sat out almost 2 years, in those two years there has been the whole red hot hands in the back thing, and umpires continuing to be pretty strick on the chopping of the arms rule and trying to adjust to that, aswell as getting the pace of the game, and whether or not he has the pace in his aging legs etc I just don't see it happening. I think depending on what happens next year, even Wakes may ended up taking a back seat by the end of the season, to allow the next generation defence of Anthony, Brown, Harry take over.

 

[Smoky]

yes he has been playing 2's

\

How many weeks? Has he been getting much game time? Got any details of how he's been playing?

 

[liamo]

hope he gets a game by then end of the year before he hangs up the boots
i've been a great fand and would like to see him end his career playing not injured

 

[joefootylover]

Almost a certainty to be back next year.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Named as an emergency this week, which is a promising sign for Presti.

 

[Optimax]

rumour is both brown and wakes are sore/sick.

SO presti could well be back this week

 

[rand corp]

Will be touch and go to see if he is indeed retained for next year.

Been a great warrior though has Presti

 

[well left]

Interesting that he has been named as an emergency.

I'm tipping Optimax is right - one of Wakes or Brown must be in doubt.

 

[dolly dancer]

hate to dissapoint but I dont think Presti will be lacing up the boots this week he has a couple of shiners and a broken nose had run in with an elbow at training, could'nt tell you whose elbow it was though.

Ive seen presti play woth a broken cheek.

Hearing that brown wakelin and Anthony all trained strongly is more an indication to suggest he will miss

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Presti played in the VFL and was listed in the best.

 

[DeZi]

Well you guys were right about one of em not playing (Brown) Just missed who was gonna replace him

 

[likka]

Presti played in the VFL and was listed in the best.

Best news I've heard in ages... great news heading into September.

 

[Lockyer24]

Presti FB, Brown CHB all of next year.

 

[ad4eva]

Cant see Presti back into the side. Wakelins cemented his spot there and having the two in the side will stunt the development of Brown and possibly a move of Anthony down back, where he was originally earmarked to play.
