Will have 25+ and kick 3.

Will dominate.

Doubt it. A year or so ago I expected Dusty to do that every week. Not anymore, Dusty has lost his goalkicking mojo. His game these days consists of don't argues, trying to break tackles and squeezing out handballs when surrounded by 4 oppo players. And outside of the boot kicks that don't come off.

Another tiger who won't reach what we thought was his ceiling. Not impacting games how he used to. Remember the Lions game a few years ago (Josh Drummond is still having nightmares). That seems a lifetime ago and a different player.

Struggling above the shoulders. Clear that the family situation has really rocked him.

Yep looks a lost little boy. Not the raging bull we need.

Sad story. But he will bounce back, this year or the next.

He is grown man and poor diddams is worried because daddy has left the country.
Harden up princess!!!!!
 
*smile*. Too far ahead of himself. If he played for anybody else we would all be saying how overrated he is.
 
I've always backed Martin but if he can't perform because his dad has been deported then best he gives it up.

There are thousands of blokes running around in the state leagues that would give anything for a crack in the AFL.
 
He'll be back stronger than ever. Many players have personal issues at certain times of their lives that they have to work through and it effects their game.
 
Head is in New Zealand with his dad I think. Hasn't been the same player all year.

I hope he gets over it soon and I hope he doesn't walk.
 
Yep definitely unfit. Like an 80s pisshead. Heading down the path Dermie predicted years ago. Waddler was it?

Will look like Stewie Dew by this time next year
 
Honestly he is not the issue. Look wider please, it runs much deeper than Dusty.
Just leave him alone. There are others to throw the angst at
