Reasonable to let him go visit his father. Even if there is an issue it is the middle of the season, nowhere near the pointy end, and I reckon it might give him a bit of a break. The off season was short, he just won a third Norm Smith and while he is good at avoiding the media, going off to NZ will hopefully give him a mental break.

Pleased that the club is smart enough to look after the players well being and allows them to get on with the important stuff in their lives.

Well played, if you tell me next the umpires are deliberately cheating us I might have to reconsider. ;)

Have to say, although I understand the reasons and the rationale behind him going, it doesn't sit super well with me.
Why? What is the issue with him going? He is going to see his dad not off to Vegas with Swanny.

Yeah, I can't see a problem, not like it is August and finals are around the next corner.

PS: umpires don't need to cheat, if they tried our free kick count would be positive, they're just incompetent.

Good time for Dusty to go see his old man and rest up a bit. We know how professional he is, I'm sure he'll be in top nick when he gets back.

Number of your Swiss bank account? Who are you dating? Why don't you kick on your left foot? The important stuff.

At times on the field lately Dusty to me has looked somewhat disinterested in how he is earning a quid.. Would not surprise me one iota if he did a Rance & took early retirement.

He is built for real games, games that matter not round 5 games.
He will be ok. He will go and sit with his dad and get that part of not seeing his dad in such a long time off his chest and he will be back ready to go.
Rance did something that made him walk away.
Can't compare the 2

well, if some reason Dusty can't get back in or return is delayed it will go down as one of the biggest stuff ups in footy.

Strange post. Dusty times his run to peak just in time to collect a norm smith. Was a bit surprised with his early season form. 2017 Dusty will never occur again. I'll settle for 2019 and 2020 Dusty.
