2013 Player Profile: Dion Prestia

[Toga]

Dion Prestia (Gold Coast Suns)

Position: Mid

Price: $375000

2011 Games: 17

2012 Games: 14

2011 Average: 63.4

2012 Average: 74.8

2012 Tons: 2

Big games: GWS (127), Freo (120)

Summary:
A little pocket rocket of a player, Prestia has struggled a bit with injury this season, but we got a taste of his potential in rounds 6 & 7 when he scored back to back 120s. Started his career in 2011 as a M/F but lost his DPP eligibility and rightly so after he spent increasing time in the mids with his fellow young guns. Unlikely to ever be tagged given he lines up alongside the great GAJ, and Harley Bennell who are far more likely to be targeted by opposition teams.

Verdict:
Watching. Probably won't fit into my midfield as I will look to start 3 super premiums but if I need some extra moolah then I might consider this jet, depending on his preseason and NAB form.

Predicted 2013 average: 90

Good one!

I reckon he's 2-3 years off becoming a premium midfield DTer but would be lovely as a forward!!

[KoopKicka]

Will look at him if he is a forward.

Yeah I was thinking how good he'd be as a forward!?

Honestly I haven't seen enough Suns games to make a judgement, but he won't e likely to pick it up again next season will he? ::)

[Zombie2.5]

Won't make it into my mids, looking at 4 super premo's and filling the rest with gun rooks.

[Spinking]

Would think he is another year from being really relevant.

[Adamant]

The human meatball! can see him averaging 85-90 next year, but cant consider him as a pure MID.

He will be a pure mid, but this guy is a jet.

Ave of 75 this year with like 2-3 sub games :X
