Can’t celebrate Prestia’s career without mentioning his contribution to the greatest goal in RFC history. Fun starts at 5:49.

That is my all time favourite goal. Not just for the brilliant play but the stage of the game. The scores were close and Geelong were pushing hard at that point.
Dusty wasn't having any of it, he turned a 50/50 contest into a brilliant goal and he just kept going . He wasn't going to lose another final and the team followed his example . It was the start of a dynasty!

I will always love that goal - it was the play that changed 37 years of mediocrity

Catalyst in our recent golden era. May not be finished yet IF he can get the body to stand up a little better than in recent times.

Thinking the same thing……my best memory from the 3 flags I think. Brilliant effort…..Not to take anything away from Dion who has been awesome despite his body letting him down at times.

'Show him respect': Tigers urge fans to not boo Stewart - https://www.afl.com.au/news/922659

OMG,

I honestly didnt think this level of stupidity was possible.

massive oversimplification. classic, complete, disregard for cultural nuance, that isn't even nuanced.

lets do the most basic of deconstructions and see what we come with here;

1. Adam Goodes, who was ultimately booed into retirement, The watershed booing example, was called an Ape by Collingwood fans and Hierarchy.
2. Nicky winter was jeered by Collingwood fans
3 Buddy Franklin was booed by Collingwood fans.

Oh, and look! what a remarkable coincidence! all three are aboriginal. First Nations. black. indigenous.

and none of them ever belted a Collingwood player off the ball.

Gee, I wonder what process is in play there? Collingwood? Black? hmmmmmmmmmm

'we'd respect them, if only they could be more like white people'. said the President of The Collingwood Football Club

BUT!

Richmond fans potentially booing arguably THE whitest man in the league,

who ran past the ball to elbow the littlest and most in-form man on their team last time they met

is the same?

all to the sound of chirping crickets while we wait for the Hawthorn Racism report that's 6 months overdue?

sometimes, I wonder why I get out of *smile* bed in the morning

if I was going to the G tomorrow night,

id end up with an acute oesophageal contusion from booing this filthy *smile*.

and I'd sleep the sleep of an honest man

4. Townsend
5. Prestia
1. Robbie McGhie - just for the entertainment value
2. Lynch - would not have played in the grand final in 2019 without him
3. Prestia- star, massively underrated in AFL land
4. Nathan Brown - Robin to Batman
5. Sugar Kane- because everyone forgets about him, captained the club

special mention to Barry Rowlings and Woosha Welsh

Journos need to listen more carefully sometimes before they paraphrase, because Dimma said ‘…all I'll say is give him the respect he deserves.’

Can’t argue with that.

And Dion said:
"I know that’s not in his demeanour at all [but] honestly, I thought he should have got more," he said.
"I look at different incidents that happen throughout the season and think he should have got more, but it is what it is”.

Don’t have to read very hard between the lines to figure out Dion thinks it was a dog act.

Interesting.

Hoping Taranto pushes someone out of that list then he will have to have been amazing for us.
