Noticed Astbury in the ruck against Chol at one point there. May have been a one-off but maybe they're looking at other pinch hitting ruck options?Prestia moving well in today's intra club. Certain starter. Even with managed minutes still reckon he'll get 15-20 touches. Seems to have put on size too.
Impressive midfield, can't tag them all. Martin, Cotchin, Prestia, Edwards, Bolton, Graham, Lambert
Bolton playing as magical as Edwards has helped immensely with our midfield depth and Jack Graham's last 4-5 games say no more, he has been fantastic.
Prestia returns to full training
Watch Dion Prestia at training earlier today.www.richmondfc.com.au
Based on that I will be very surprised if he doesn't play.
It's a very different scenario bringing someone back vs taking someone in with some sort of niggle.
If he has been able to lay the physical preparation down then the risk of playing him is basically zero, especially as he didn't have a soft tissue issue.
It really just comes back to his touch which is unlikely to be an issue for an experienced player.
Touch and match fitness, agree the first won't be an issue. So he'll play on reduced minutes, step it up each game. Tough on whoever misses out to bring Dion back in, but has to be done. He's too good to leave out.
Be good if Tich can step up his game each week too!
Will have to get past Dusty to do that.If he can do that it will be Norm Smith time for sure

No there is a countback system in place to ensure no tiesSilly question - with the voting system, could you have a tie, or 3 way tie for that matter for the normie?

I pretty much agree, however I can’t see Georgie been dropped and fair enough too, it’s going to be a big pressure game an potentially very slippery and thats when his at his bestIns Prestia Lynch Bolton
Out Chol Ross Castagna (I think both Aarts and Caddy should play if fit)
George hasn't been dropped in 4 yearsI pretty much agree, however I can’t see Georgie been dropped and fair enough too, it’s going to be a big pressure game an potentially very slippery and thats when his at his best
My memory is that Gram was robbed. And he polled from all 5 judges whereas Chapman got 3 x 3
