However, he does have clean hands and kicks straight for the most part. Basically, he needs a couple of good defensive minded forwards around him to pick up the slack and good delivery from a skillful midfield. Unfortunately he went from a club that had those to one that didn't. West went well with blokes who could win their own ball (E.G. A. Richardson) and Prokopec simply isn't that sort of player. Having said that, I'd happily have him at the dogs still, and when required would probably do a serviceable job. But wouldn't ever be anything more than a cover for injury.
This is similar sentiments to what is echoed at West - a popular player who it is agreed has a lot of ability, and with the right person (not necessarily a coach) motivating him to work a lot harder on the track and in the gym, could be a very good player for the club. Has had some injury problems, but just not quite prepared to take those next couple of steps that separate serviceable from really admired.
