He spent much of his first Richmond pre-season on light duties, still recovering from knee surgery underwent on the Gold Coast. Prestia made his Richmond debut in the opening match of the season, Richmond’s round 1 victory against Carlton at the MCG. He finished the match with a team-second 28 disposals as well as six clearances, five tackles and a goal. The 73,137 strong crowd was the largest Prestia had ever played in front of, with the previous top of 49,069 coming in 2014 against Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval. In early April club officials revealed Prestia would likely remain on a reduced training load for the entire season, in an attempt to keep him fit and able to play his first full season in three years. Prestia’s 22 disposals and seven tackles in round 4 helped Richmond to a victory over Brisbane and the club’s first 4-0 start to a season since 1995. He played his 100th career match in Richmond’s round 5 win over Melbourne, recording 20 disposals in the process. Prestia was held from playing in the club’s round 7 match against the Western Bulldogs due to a hamstring injury. He returned two weeks later in a match against the GWS Giants at Sydney’s Spotless Stadium in round 9. Prestia upped his training load in June, participating twice a week for the first time that season. He recorded a season-best 35 disposals and nine marks in round 11’s win over North Melbourne in addition to five clearances and five inside 50s. After round 13 Prestia ranked equal third in the league for smothers that season (15). Prestia’s season was labelled as “poor” by Herald Sun chief football writer Mark Robinson in July, claiming he had “under delivered” as a “big name recruit on a big contract.” In round 17 Prestia was given the task to run with Brisbane Lions All Australian Dayne Zorko. He was largely effective in the role, keeping Zorko to just 11 disposals, his second lowest tally of the season. Complications with his knee and calf issues returned in late July and forced Prestia to miss one match in round 19. Prestia repeated his run-with role upon his return in round 20, this time against another All Australian midfielder, Hawthorn’s Tom Mitchell. While Mitchell remained prolific with 35 disposals, his kick tally of nine was his lowest for the year. Meanwhile, Prestia had 31 disposals himself, including 17 kicks and a goal. By round 20 Richmond had qualified for the year’s final series, Prestia’s first in his seven-year career. During the pre-finals bye, Prestia was the subject of media attention after leaving training early due to an ankle injury. Though he and the club assured it was only minor and would not keep him from playing, he did reveal it was the continuation of an ankle issue that had plagued him for a majority of the 2017 season. In Richmond’s qualifying final victory Prestia had what The West Australian called it “one of the best games of his career.” He had an equal game-high 31 possessions and quelled the influence of Geelong captain Joel Selwood, who was held to just six kicks. But that win was not Richmond’s only that September, with Prestia’s side beating Greater Western Sydney in a preliminary final and earning their way to a Grand Final match-up with minor premiers Adelaide. He turned in a starring performance in what would be a premiership winning side, contributing 25 disposals and a goal and earning two votes in the Norm Smith Medal. In receiving a premiership medal he became the first inaugural Gold Coast Suns player to do so since he made his debut there in the club’s first match six years earlier. Prestia finished the year having played 22 matches, the equal most of his career to that point. He ranked third at the club for clearances, fourth for average disposals and fifth for tackles. Prestia placed tenth in the club’s best and fairest count.

Another injury-interrupted pre-season awaited Prestia in 2015, when he injured his hamstring in a training incident late in 2014. To that point, he had been a stand-out on the training track, winning the club’s 2 km time trial and looking likely to repeat the form of the 2014 season. He played his first football that year in the club’s final NAB Challenge hit-out, showing no signs of his injury with 29 disposals in the draw against Brisbane Lions. In round 1 Prestia was the Suns’ best-on-ground, picking up 29 disposals and a Brownlow vote in the Suns’ loss to Melbourne. round 3’s loss to Geelong saw Prestia continue what AFL Media called a “rich vein of form”, with a team-high 29 disposals in the match. After five rounds Prestia was the number one clearance winner in the league (46). To that point he was also ranked 14th in the league for disposals (142) and fourth for contested possessions (76). During the Suns’ round 8 match against Collingwood, Prestia went down with what appeared was a serious knee injury. Scane later revealed he had suffered a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee. With 12–16 weeks forecasted on the sidelines, Prestia’s season effectively came to an end. He had played in all eight matches to that point in the season, recording equal-career bests in average disposals and goals per game as well as leading the competition for total clearances.
