Richmond have shut down any suggestion injury-plagued midfielder Dion Prestia is considering a mid-season AFL retirement.

Rumours around the three-time premiership player’s future have been swirling as he continues to recover from an Achilles injury.

It’s the latest in a long list of setbacks which have dogged the 32-year-old, who has battled injury consistently throughout his 15-year career.

But the Tigers are adamant Prestia will be back this year and has no intentions of hanging the boots up.

“I contacted the club today because there have been rumours swirling — maybe just social media — that Dion Prestia might quit, resign, retire, mid-season and leave a list spot (open) for the club,” Wilson said on Tuesday night’s episode of The Agenda Setters.

“Richmond deny that, say Dion Prestia is pushing, pushing, pushing and is hoping to play potentially even in two weeks, but definitely within four weeks.

“So, I can only believe what I hear and that is what the Tigers are saying.”

As he recovers from the injury, Prestia remains under investigation over an alleged 2am brawl, with Victoria Police back-pedalling on an initial statement saying they are expected to be charged.

7NEWS chief AFL reporter MItch Cleary reported the former Gold Coast Suns teammates were celebrating a bucks party at Sorrento’s Continental Hotel on Boxing Day but denied being involved in a fight that later broke out on nearby streets.

Two men were taken to hospital after an incident in Sorrento in the early hours of December 27.

An investigation ramped up in the past three weeks, with May, Prestia and a 26-year-old man interviewed by police.

Police on earlier this month morning said the trio were expected to be charged on summons before later updating their statement.

“Our previous statement advised that the three men were expected to be charged on summons – we have now revised our statement to say they were released pending further enquiries only,” they said on Monday afternoon.

“Mornington Peninsula Crime Investigation Unit detectives have interviewed three men as part of their investigation into an affray in Sorrento on 27 December last year.

“The interviews follow a report to police about a physical altercation between two groups of men on Point Nepean Road about 2am.

“Two men were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries at the time.

“A 32-year-old man from Hawthorn, a 33-year-old man from Mount Eliza and a 26-year-old Blairgowrie man were all interviewed and released pending further enquiries.

“The investigation remains ongoing.”
