Player Watch #3: Dion Prestia Re-Signed for 2025

[Tforce]

Twas one of his better games.

What are we going to do with this bloke? He literally cannot hit a target inside 50. His skill execution is getting worse, or staying consistently poor and most troubling is certainly not getting better.

How can one of our key ball winners be such a butcher?

More like , what are you going to do with your eyesight, he was easily best 2 or 3 blokes on the ground, he is never going to be a bullet like accurate kick , but so to is Patrick Dangerfield. He was very good today

Great game from Dion, really pleased hes running on top of the ground, hopefully his body issues are in the past!

 

[DickieKnee]

Meatballs had a great game last night. Also a big part of us landing Caddy and Lynch.

 

[Bojangles17]

His year is really building pres, great game last night following a good one v PA

 

[captain blood 17]

Lol, Prestia and Lambert have been leading the midfield over the last 3 weeks and still people bag Meatball. If it wasn’t for Dion and Kane we’d be 1-4. Add Lynch to that statement as well.

Yeah he wins the footy like a champion, but he never hurts by foot. Especially when putting it inside 50. Just want him to polish up a tiny bit, is really frustrating.

Yep, that’s fair. He does need to tidy up his kicking but if he keeps winning the footy and driving us forward like he has the last few weeks, I’d cut him some slack for sure

 

[Punt Road Feral]

How many clearances did he have last night?
Honestly thought he was our best player on the ground.

 

[joelsyt]

I thought he was close to best on ground myself.

Yeah he has up and down games but this year he is a lot of the reason we’re 3-2 and not 1-4.

 

[blaisee]

This is the standard we need from dion every single week

Had 10 inside 50 and 3 direct goals assists. Was our best player tbh

 

[This Is Anfield]

wasnt that bad, 71% is ok and only had the 2 clangers. 3 votes for mine

Personally thought he had a great game.

You are all correct... unfortunately, I have no prizes to give.

Not sure what game you watched was bog last night with 32 disposals 15 contested 8 clearances 10 inside 50’s 10 score involvements 71%de 3 goal assists and 4 tackles

This season he’s averaging 24disposals 5 clearances 4 tackles a game and 6 score involvements

Has lead the mids this year and had one poor game harshly treated is meatball

lol wat?...he would get 66 brownlow votes if that happened....

 

[tunksy]

Would like to see him have a year where it all comes together for Dion, like last night. Be good to see him win a bnf too.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Currently sitting 6th in the comp for centre clearances
Building into a great season for meatball

He didn't bag the guy or say he played poorly. He said his kicking is shit... Which imo it is.

The problem with meatball is when he's free and not under pressure his kicking doesn't seem to improve. You can forgive a player for being a bad kick whilst under pressure.

He's still a brilliant player. But wow he can shank it. Dem wormburners

 

[Cotcho]

Dion's kicking efficiency is 50% for the year. There's no stat that I can see that shows uncontested kick efficiency. Would be interesting to see how it stacks up against the other elite ball winning mids.

He set us up a few times and wins the hard ball , you need people like him in your team. Cripps isn't particularly damaging by foot but he is an A grade star. Meatball is doing well, relax on him

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Has lead the midfield well without Cotchin
30 disposals 10 clearances 5 tackles 76%de 6 score involvements

 

[pazza86]

What's he go at by foot?

Awesome tonight folks and will only get better.

 

[Drofder]

I like Meatball but he’s gotta get better by hand and foot in non pressured situations.
