WTF? Where has this *smile* come from?

Agree, defensively he could do more, but that's been the case his entire career.

Everytime it went near Dusty, I was happy. He kicked a goal or gave it off. Lood somewhere else for victims IMO

Like any good race horse they need a few games to get going...give him a couple more weeks and we will see the champion raise along with the team.

He is still a champ. Didn't get last week to wd40 the rust.

Thought he shanked a few but was still very good.

He will be remembered as a champ of the golden years. Best Tiger highlight package ever.
Unfair to expect 2017-2020 form.
He’s showing the effects now of a stellar career.
He’s done his job for us and can do whatever he wants in 2025 with our best wishes.
Any cameos this year will be a bonus.

Not too sure what game some posters were watching...
He was all class...
The game still slows when he gets the ball...
I saw no difference to his level from last year...
The romantic side of me hopes he retires a richmond player.
On the level of Hart, Bartlett and Dyer.

Yep absolutely. We play better when he plays.

He did look like he wasn't running correctly at times last night, I noticed it when he ran into the goal square near me. Didn't look serious, just a little uncomfortable.

He still bullocks through packs and although he has lost a yard of pace is still magnificent.

I hope he stays at Richmond as a 1 club player.

When he came on after half time (when the players all run out together) I thought he looked a bit ginger / hobbled. I was 200m / 3 Carlton 50m penalties away though.

Was serviceable without being great (56% disposal efficiency). Don't think lack of rotations helped, he looked kaput at the end (1 disposal in the last) but he played 89% game time which to me sounds like far to much for a 32yr8mth old spending a good portion of his time in the midfield.

He starts rusty every year. Some years he doesn't wind up until August. But yeah, he does look a bit rustier.
 
Thought he played well without starring.

In terms of his future playing career, I believe he'll stay a Richmond player until he retires. From what I've heard he's enjoying his footy under Ooze.
 
Dusty was clearly tight in his legs we could see it in the last quarter in front of us.
