Do you think the club will let him go to to NZ to visit his dad?
I like a good conspiracy, NZ travel bubble opens... nekminit Dusty is in injured with a couple of weeks up his so sleeve to travel. I don’t begrudge him at all... but timing is amusing

Without speaking out of school, he manages a fairly tricky condition on an ongoing basis and has for a long time.

I'm sure one day once he has retired he will share the physical issues he has faced and people will see his performance on field as being even more amazing.
Some kind of ongoing illness or a body complaint / injury type thing?

interesting , its been a pretty regular observation here that he isnt moving too well at times , usually early to mid season . for a few years now ,

people usually guess it to be a groin issue by the way he is moving , but then he doesnt miss any games as a result when other players are being carefully managed , so its always seemed a bit mysterious

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.

We need to call Dusty back!

Old Damo Parrott says if he was Dimma he'd tell Dusty he can't go.

Omg, how are we going to fix this......

He was always going to go.
Good luck to him, properly has seen his dad for over 18 months.
Great result Duz gets a freshen up and gets to see his old man.

Good for him.

Bad luck for the Cats he'll be back fresh and focused, and hopefully he will have Tigga or Dion or both coming back with him.

Then again Hocking will probably have him scooped up at the Airport and slotted into quarantine for another 2 weeks, to make sure he aint available to play the Sooks upon his return.

What a flog this Parrott is.
If George (as in Costanza not no.11 :)) ) is Lord of the Idiots then Parrott must be Lord of the Flogs!:))

I was expecting Slobbo to come out with that statement. They can't even see how thoughtful we are with our players. WTF do you all want media morons??
