Prestia !!

We need to do a Hawthorn and JOM him and put him on the indefinite list.

Get him right for 2018.

This guy isn't doing his status, confidence or our midfield any favours.

Playing terrible.

Guy can't kick . Playing so poor and making what we gave us in picks and $ is looking like a bust !
 
not a bad player, just bad management to get him out asap and avoid another Yarran debacle with injury.

IF we manage not to destroy his body, he will play good football for us at some stage.

Hands and thinking are good, kicking is sub par to say the least. Persevere - what else can we do?

Add no defensive running to that, so what position do you play him Antman?

He really doesn't want to kick and, when he does, he is hesitant and he kicks poorly. Painkillers? Protecting an injury?

Either way, they have invested so much in him that they need to look after him.
 
Look, I'm sure we can all look forward to him having a much better 2018.....

It's us who need looking after Tottie.
 
This has got a Carlton recruiting Dale Thomas stench about it...

Previously great player has had a couple of injury ravaged seasons and then goes to a new club on big bucks and a long contract based on his previous reputation...then said player is a shadow of the player he was two years ago, and said club is lumped with the now average player for a number of years, while taking up a significant chunk of the salary cap in the process.

Except that the Blues got Daisy as a FA. We gave pick six for ours.

Yep, FA I can understand but giving away a top junior is vintage stupidity. Only at Richmond do we make such dumb decisions and we just parted with two second rounders for a bloke who didn't even play a game. The Hartley & Jackson show is downright tragic.

I was thinking injections into the area, numbness and a bit of spasticity as evident in his kicks :cutelaugh

Could not agree more.
Typical Richmond.
And people wonder why this club isn't going places.
 
From memory 80% of posters voted no to Prestia if it meant giving up pick 6 so why if posters could see the risk did our highly paid recruiters blunder blindly into the deal?
 
I think the majority of PRE also said "no" to Yarran for pick (?) as well?
 
True.

We all saw the risk in those two players and the picks we gave up for them !

What would we know!

Just like Josh Schache if the rumours are true and when we go to the polls I think the majority would be voting no to that trade too.

Yarran - 2 wasted picks. Loss of 2 juniors
Prestia- 2 picks huge $ at the minute 2 juniors.


In our haste to try and land a ' big fish ' type we are making blunders !
