Great game.
And a great contributor.
As others have mentioned, he did a lot of little things (second and third efforts) that I haven't always come to expect of Dusty.

He is the best player in the comp.
By the length of the Farmington straight. Lachie Neale is another Wowodien.
When he plays the rest watch.
Not sure the umpires agree.
Opppstion are hitting him high.
No free kick and yesterday it could've been a disaster when an Essendon player went to trip him.

I had him pinned for bog too but wasn't at all upset when Shai was read out. fits the narrative better too

Yeah I thought he was a shoe in, but happy for Shai.

His highlight for mine was when tippa was about to get the ball on the boundary and Dusty dove in and down slapped the ball back to our player.

He's done that ball slap type action before and has incredible ball control - sometimes it’s almost like he’s dribbling a basketball
Obviously the bloke is a genius and it’s just so good to watch

Yep. It's incredibly smart as he knows he isn't a quick player.

Dead on, except for the Neale Woewodin comparison. Woewodin was a one season wonder. Neales better than that, but his many disposals per game don’t hurt the opposition as much as Dusty can with half the numbers.

Building, Building that's what I like. Pin point passes, in between pack shooting a direct handball to team mate, kicking goals.

 

[Giardiasis]

Only fault is he can’t kick on his left for goal.

 

[tigerlove]

Dusty was brilliant again, only flaw this particular game was his disposal efficiency wasn't particularly good, only 53% and why I had Shai as BOG. I have noticed him being a lot more aggressive defensively this year which is great to see as it's probably been his biggest knock (not that it matters as much when you are so influential with your own disposals).

I had Shai BOG and it had nothing to do with the narrative.

It is odd because in his under 18 games that you can watch he is so proficient on his left. He can use it but seems to prefer not to

He has delivered some great passes on his left this season and prior, but seemed to hesitate and lose confidence on that one. Puzzling; probably wanted to pass it off but no targets.
Too much of a team player often. Should just go for his shots. Ditto Rioli.

 

[Quickdraw]

Dusty will be BOG tonight.

Brings it for the big games.

 

[artball]

that goal was ridiculous

 

[WesternTiger]

Goal was brilliant. Does things others players just can’t....like getting done for throwing the ball when being tackled.

 

[St Kevin]

Not as prolific ball winning wise, but always involved and dangerous.

That was a goal of such beauty it would make Rembrandt cry.

 

[TigerFlag2017]

Happy winner

 

[Smoking Aces]

For a man who has achieved so much he still has the hunger. He can sniff October action.

Agree. Love his celebrations after big wins. You can see how much it means to him.

Think I have mentioned this before, but it's amazing that such an individually brilliant player can be so team orientated and get so much joy out of the achievements of the collective.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Loves to win. Is a winner. Is a *smile* champion.
