.................is so good that the opposition now rove to his spoils as if he was playing ruck at the centre bounces. There was a number of occassions last night that the Swans players were standing at the bottom of the pack waiting for Presti's punch to fall into their hands.

The sign of a top line player is when an opposition coach specifically prepares tactics to counter them. Presti is finally in that category. If he doesn not get AA full back there's something wrong.

No, that's what all coaches want to see from their smaller players - be front and square at the contest.

They were roving on the boundary side of the contest.

Somehow I just think that there are a few other Full Backs who might be in line for AA selection this year, and like MB said, it is the job of the crumbers to get the spoil from the contest. Don't let your beer goggles cloud your vison mate.

AA Full Back!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

In your opinion he may be stopping the forwards from scoring somewhat but what else can he do? Run with the ball? Kick? Play around the ground? Chase down opponents? The answer to the above is god no.

I don't know who is going to be AA Full Back, but it's not going to be Presti!!

 

[Lonie_from_50]

A big chance is Presti for AA full back, don't write him off.

 

[Gets!]

A definete possibility for delisting at seasons end.

In this day and age you need to be able to kick etc etc

 

[Lonie_from_50]

Anyone see when Presti busted through the pack last night. Full Back moment of the year

Come on Lonie! I love reading your posts but Presti AA? He is not eye-catching enough and doesn't possess the qualities that other full back's produce.

 

[Lonie_from_50]

he is a chance

 

[Arcadion]

Quinten Lynch - 5 goals.
Lynch not as bad as everyone thinks then?

Carroll has been busting through packs all year.

 

[trav_16]

No chance

Ben Rutten certainly cant do any of those things.

Ben Rutten certainly cant do any of those things.

Rutten has one of the most precise kicks in the league, and for a huge unit runs the line well, frequently picks up between 15-20 possessions a game.

GUN.

Not saying anything against Presti, but good backs punch to the advantage of their own smaller players.

Also wearing beer goggles?

And who got AA full back last year?

Wasn't Presti that's for sure.

Just shows you dont have to be able to get a kick.

The thing is, Rutten does get kicks.

Averaging 6 kicks per game in his career...

Probably 5 better than Presti.

It seems your argument is purely stuffed

only a chance to a collingwood supporter.
