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

[Drofder]

Losing faith we will see him again

Hasn’t done any running and on a drip battling infection. Hard to see it.

 

[Hamsatma]

Walking with an IV in his arm today lol

and to think he had the same original injury as nank

 

[Goshaa]

Looks in good nick

 

[tony__montana]

Gee wiz.. dimma late last week said he was on track to begin running Tuesday (tomorrow)

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Caro says Dion and the club targeting round 18

 

[THE_GUN]

I

Caro says Dion and the club targeting round 18

I'll take that

The IV makes sense as he has had an infection. It doesn't mean anything else. And i back the club in on managing the issue. Look at Nanks return from the same injury. Competed well against Nic Nat.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Obviously it’s not great but there not going to have him doing laps with an iv if it’s really serious

Hopefully we get him back this year we miss his two way running but if not then gives shedda and Bolton more time in the guts

 

[Dr Tigris]

If he coems back in half decent form we are so much more likely to win our 13th. Love the Meatball.

[Hank Heavenly]

But hinted first week of finals rather than last game

In his injury roundup Burge said that Dion was on target for the last round. But probably 1st final.

 

[El Tigre]

Grand Final appearance only

Have we got any infectious disease experts around here , wtf going on , how can it take a month to get right

it'll be a bacterial infection... not a viral infection.

I'm not an infectious diseases expert at all, (I'm a nurse), but I change elastomeric pumps every day. They are a 24 hour delivery system for giving antibiotics to a client, and are being used more and more to keep people out of hospital where possible. A month on an elastomeric pump is very common, tbh its often more like 2 months. The beauty of the system is the patient can be at home and have a nurse visit daily (or return to hospital each day for a pump change) which only takes about 30 minutes, (so the patient is at home getting better sleep rather than being in hospital - poor sleep unappealing food etc etc). The picc line however is the entry point into the body - the cannula in other words, and it needs to be looked after with the greatest of care. I expect Dion is doing goal kicking practice only and perhaps walking lots of laps.
Not a good sign tbh, but who knows, if the picc comes out tomorrow, maybe all is well ?
Who knows? Not me, but I hope I've helped explain stuff a bit

Agreed but my oh my, he needs to practice getting boot to ball quickly and correctly when taking a snap shot for goal!! Two absolute shockers in the last 2 weeks

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

14 disposals 4 clearances 20 pressure acts 2 goals another good final our best ever trade deal

Pick 6 lel

 

[Punt Road Feral]

You can’t underestimate his importance last night. So many times he was in and under and went pound for pound with Danger and Selwood and either won the contest or halved it.

Loved his goals too, the lads build for high pressure finals
Dion must be on cloud 9, makes the trade and wins 3 flags in 4 years.

1st goal wins the virginSpycam !!!

People think Rioli doesn't do much watch those hands clean and pin point accurate handball.
