Just don't understand why it was necessary to post these unfair and negative comments about Dion. His height is definitely irrelevant, imo he is a gun player, as borne out by his clearly winning the best and fairest award last year in a premiership team. He was of course one of only two tiger players to play every game last year and statistically he was outstanding, both inside and outside, demonstrating his incredible work rate. Personally I thought that he was a very good chance to make it into the All Australian team for last year. His ankle injury this year surely came about through sheer bad luck, not through being supposedly "injury prone", due to his ankle getting caught underneath him in a vigorous twisting tackle by an opposition player. Several players in the AFL have been injured in a similar way in the last 3-4 years. Dion is a two time premiership hero and that cannot be taken away from him.
More of an in-joke against some of those who were critical of Dion's trade to us. Go back and read the early pages of Dion's thread
Everyone is a Prestia fan on here these days. Proven big game player over his time at the Tiges.
If anyone wanted any evidence on why we need Prestia and also Shedda in the team watch last night’s game again. We can’t get smashed in the clearances like that against a top team, especially in the centre, and expect to win.
The way to beat the flood is to get the ball in when it’s 6-6-6 and you can’t do that when the ball is continually going the other way.

I get what you are saying, but there is a big difference between bringing in Conca and Griffiths who were in our bottom 7 or 8 players that year in our 22, compared to last years B&F winner.
If I could have any player back for this week's game it would be Dion.
Been vital in our recent victories against the Cats.
Our midfield performance vs Freo showed this is still a weakness.
Worries me Geelong winning clearance & giving Hawkins plenty of looks.

Prestia creates connection with the fwd line we have been missing. he can turn sharply out of congestion and find a target in our forward 50.
It was his delivery to Lynch at the start of the 3rd qtr in last years prelim that got us going. he found lynch a few times that night.

I hear Prestia is progressing well with his Walking 'Frame'!
ive reconciled that we win the flag without Dion and DTLD
but im really hoping to be surprised.
