He finished the year in premium fashion with nine triple-figure scores in his last 11 games including a 130. Port Adelaide’s best 22 on paper is terrific, but must remain healthy. These football departments run the microscope over the winning clubs’ list to see what lessons they can learn, so that they can be on that stage as soon as possible. Amid Gold Coast's injury-ravaged start to the season, Prestia has stood up, averaging 24.9 possessions a game (third at the club behind Aaron Hall and Ablett). The 19 year-old collected 20 disposals and recorded three rebounds but crucially, managed a disposal efficiency of 90 per cent, hitting 18 out of 20 targets by hand and foot and helping his side maintain possession of the Sherrin.

They also have some strong defensively-minded backmen, but not as potent offensively off the defensive line though Brandon Ellis coming off the bench would certainly help with this fact. Western’s strength lies in its bookends with Matthew Lloyd one of the greatest full-forwards of all-time, and Dustin Fletcher one of the greatest full-backs of all-time. Prestia won't turn his mind fully to his football future until the Suns' round 13 bye, when he is due to sit down with his manager, Marty Pask, to assess his options. The media believed that Richmond were going backwards and that they needed to trade their star players out for more picks to start a rebuild. That is more or less the blueprint of the last three multiple premiers, us, Hawks, Cats. Born: 12 Oct 1992 (28 years old) First drafted: 2010 (18 years old) Career Games: 162 (Gold Coast 95, Richmond 67) Career Goals: 53. The likes of Douglas and Johnson can also push up to the wings. A high draft pick from 2017, Higgins tallied 18 disposals (11 kicks and seven handballs), took two marks, laid a couple of tackles and kicked 1.2 in-front of goal. As good as Richmond’s drafting and trading was over the past two years, they knew they had four elite players under the age of 30, that they could build their team around. In what was his second game and first Showdown, Kane Farrell was impressive, netting three goals. Trengove and Dunn was a 50/50 contest and could have been argued either way, while most of the others are highly maligned players, but should be remembered as ones who forged out 150-plus game AFL careers. Includes historical and current season data. He has returned from the break in impressive condition and has been running really well. Lynden Dunn is just as reliable and he squeezes onto the bench to provide some cover in case sides opt for a three-prong forward line against the team. Despite missing almost the entire pre-season while recovering from a posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, Lynch has not missed a single game in 2019. OUR first ever All-Star Team battle is one between two Vic Metro clubs, in the Calder Cannons and Western Jets. However, I think Carlton have learned valuable lessons from their mistakes over the last decade and are committed to a proper rebuild this time. The Cannons have not had a heap of rucks come through to be dominant players at AFL level, but Ivan Maric was a standout across his time, particularly at Richmond. The likes of Guthrie and Dion Prestia provide some good running power off the bench, while Tom Liberatore is still young and showed that he has the potential to be one of the game’s best. Prestia’s value in 2020 more likely lies in Draft where he can provide a consistent triple-figure score across 20+ games week in, week out. Fletcher, Houli and Sicily are quality, while Daniel Ward, Adam Kennedy and Kyle Hartigan would provide the defensive pressure, but are no world beaters in fairness to them. Callan Ward is a star, but the Western midfield is a little weaker, though still competitive with Michael Rischitelli and Heath Scotland in there. Calder’s strength is its depth across the field, led by Swan in the midfield, who along with Jude Bolton and Dion Prestia, make it competitive against most sides, though even they would be overpowered by the Sharks onball group. Get expert advice from The Traders during the pre-season in the Fantasy Hub. Melbourne do have a terrific young midfield and one of the games best young forwards in Jesse Hogan and will rely heavily on them performing if they are to contend this season. Picture: AFL Photos, Richmond stars Trent Cotchin and Dustin Martin during a pre-season training session in December. Calder’s strength is its depth across the field, led by Swan in the midfield, who along with Jude Bolton and Dion Prestia, would take control in there. They also have some strong defensively-minded backmen, but not as potent offensively off the defensive line though Brandon Ellis coming off the bench would certainly help with this fact. The Assumption College product finished second to Gary Ablett in Gold Coast's 2013 best and fairest award and was third the following year. The most consistent team across the board with experience galore. Last year he experienced his best season since averaging 100 in 2014 for the Suns. Prestia, 23, comes out of contract at the end of this season and has attracted a wealth of interest from clubs throughout the country, but will only leave Metricon Stadium to return to his home state of Victoria. Trent Cotchin celebrates Friday night’s win with Dion Prestia. The fact is that Richmond’s football department absolutely nailed every draftee and trade over the past three seasons. The most impressive thing about his season was he played 22 games after durability had become a big concern. Dustin Martin, the Norm Smith Medallist and Brownlow Medallist in 2017 was selected at pick three, and the Demons who had picks one and two in the draft (Tom Scully and Jack Trengove) would be heartbroken as neither of their draftees are still at the club.

Calder Cannons have a noticeable strength in defence and among the small-medium forwards, while their midfield depth is ridiculous. Or were they? There were 94,423 people crammed into the MCG on Friday night. Richmond supporters who are “twenty-something” or older, will remember the constant “trolling” by opposition supporters through this period. Best and Fairest Winner, All-Australian Squad, Premiership Player . Carlton has a rich history of success and could be tempted to sell the farm prematurely to have a shot at the premiership. Dion Prestia Supercoach stats. But it was Lynch who was the most influential person inside the ground. A premiership is surely worth it. Nine of Richmond’s 22 premiership players cost the Tigers a third round draft pick or less. Richmond drafted their “Big 4”, Riewoldt/Cotchin/Rance/Martin, across three drafts (2006, 2007 and 2009).

Both these teams have exciting forward lines that would cause headaches for most opposition sides. This however, was one of many errors that Richmond made at the time. While both Daniher and Carlisle are inexperienced compared to most in these All-Star line-ups, they are capable of roosting the ball long and taking big contested marks.
