Simon Prestigiacomo...?

Question

Does anyone know his status? Is he going to play at all this year?

Answer 1

Last I heard, is that he has a foot injury and he was a chance to play against the Bulldogs, should be available soon if that's the case then, possibly this week

Answer 2

Presti has an undisclosed foot injury so anyones guess is as good as the next one. Ive heard its a minor fracture so expect him to strap the boots on the week after this.

Answer 3

Collingwood don't need him, he is an old style full back with no running skills, his kicking leaves a lot to be desired too,  he reminds me of Darren Gaspar from tiger-land, all over the shop, when confronted with decision making,  just a big pest like Gaspar,  they just annoy opposition and get in the way, team mates only give it to them at a last option.

On the injury i would have a guess and say  plantar fascia,  sorry about the spelling if it's wrong,  but it takes months to heel, actually doesn't heel, you need the right orthopedic doctor to treat it,   i know,  i bloody have it,  but with treatment and inners it is manageable,  then again i could be way off target, but heard had it too, seems similar, the time, the injury being persistent etc.

Answer 4

Maybe. He is a Key defender but you have to wonder how long he has left. He is old and injured. Collingwood could defiantly use him. He is an excellent player because he gets the job done week in week out with nothing fancy he is quite often unrecognized for the work he does.

Answer 5

CLEVER-AN ..not cilly , you got his name right   ..his mum wasn't even sure at birth, while Rex Hunt calls him Presti gi a PERRY como.    ......Sorry,... now  to answer your question, he will be back , he is just being rested for a second half season return, like secret weapon stuff  !   Apparently he has a sore foot, but its certainly not from the amount of KICKS he gets out of footy as a defender, he rarely gets any in  a game.  As a junior, he played all his footy at "full forward", and considering the Pies current forward woes, it's the reason I'm suggesting the "Secret Weapon" thing.   Naturally  being close to the finals now too, he will take all clubs by surprise, at FULL FORWARD and of course keep "Straunnie" out of the team AGAIN!

Answer 6

He's a chance to play in the coming weeks. He may be back for round 15.
