GWS should tag in-form Richmond midfielder Dion Prestia in Saturday’s Grand Final, according to Nick Dal Santo.
The consistent midfielder is having an outstanding season and has further enhanced his credentials this finals series.
Prestia, 26, is averaging 30 disposals, 7.5 clearances, 7.5 tackles and seven inside 50s in September and Dal Santo feels the former Sun is the man the Giants should look to lock down on.
“The one that needs a lot of attention come Saturday afternoon – Dion Prestia,” Dal Santo told SEN Afternoons.
“He should be tagged by Matt de Boer - I would have him ahead of Dusty (Dustin Martin). The last two weeks at centre bounces while Dusty has been in there - they’ve won three as a team and lost 15.
“Three from 18 when Dusty Martin has been at centre square bounces in finals.
“I’d have Aidan Corr on Dustin Martin when he goes forward … De Boer goes to Prestia – the No.1 ranked player in the competition since the bye. He is an absolute jet.”
Richmond is gunning for a second flag in three years when they meet GWS at the MCG in this weekend’s decider.
