Absolutely love this guy and what he brings, after (cross fingers) a good result today he should be known forth as 'the little master'!!!!!

Apparently only Dusty is turning up tonight.Lots of our players flying under the radar at the moment. The Cats may not pay Prestia the respect he deserves. Watch for the clearances tonight.
Apparently only Dusty is turning up tonight.
Should be primed to be his best tonight - just enough games under his belt to run the game out. Conditions will suit too.I hope he has a first quarter like last year, where GWS were forced to move the tag from Dusty to Dion. It was the beginning of the end for GWS. Ignore Dion at your peril.
Seriously Lloyd struggles to put a sentence together.This is the man Lloyd said was not worth the money back at the end of 2016 and we should pick up kids and work on them. Dion proved him wrong and as a bonus we have picked up some good kids since
Lloyd is a knee jerk commentator. Gets a lot wrong, because he can’t look forward. To his credit, though, he owns his mistakes and will admit when he gets a call wrong, unlike many of his fellow commentators.This is the man Lloyd said was not worth the money back at the end of 2016 and we should pick up kids and work on them. Dion proved him wrong and as a bonus we have picked up some good kids since
He also said earlier this year Gold Coast could possibly win a flag before usSeriously Lloyd struggles to put a sentence together.
His only saving grace is that he has backed us to win it 2 years in a row.
Its always been a myth and a half truth.Ok.
So Richmond is weak at clearance. Well. Sit down. Chimp will usually zone. Form up to defend. Force the turnover and we rebound from HB.
But if it really matters Chimp will dominate clearance. And Chimp is really good at clearance. (Not like Clangerdog or Selhasbeen.) Chimp wipes his arse with these All Australians when the game is on. (See recent final.)
And much as I love Chimp I have to concede that the best clearance player at Richmond is Dion Prestia, when he's set to the task.
Did you read the *smile* blathering of the "Richmond can't clearance" fraternity?
Dion dispatches myths like this.
Half fit he can stop them or start us.
The most underrated player in the AFL. Dion Prestia.
Posted pre finalsIf Dion comes in for a qualifying final, and we can't cover his lack of match fitness enough to win anyway, then that just means we're a side that needs Dion Prestia.
It's worth losing a qualifying final to get match fitness into Dion Prestia. That's how good he is.
We need him for the elimination finals that matter.
FWIW I don't think his inclusion would ever cost us a win. A Prestia at 60% is an upgrade on a Jack Ross at one hundred. But if it did, and that loss happened in QF, then it's worth it.
We're a good enough team to not just time our run for finals. We can time our run for the finals that matter.
