Happy Birthday Champ.

 

[Smoking Aces]

We will never see a player like him again in our lifetime

 

[Tigers of Old]

Quiet thread..

After 10 years and 3 flags, a Brownlow and 3 Norm Smiths, apparently has been worked out.

Or is he just older and not at his best?

losing that 1:1 on the wing to Lemmings

was quite traumatic for me.

im thinking of seeing a psychologist and talking it over next week.

Yeah that was.... Weird.

 

[Tigers2011]

Not in peak form but effort is there at least. Losing one on ones is uncharacteristic & probably reflective of where we are. Wouldn’t expect that to keep happening though.

Wayne Carey won Norf two flags. Plugger and Yablett zero between them.

Dusty has delivered beyond expectations. We wouldn't have won a flag without him.

Let him take some weight off his foot.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Injured. Foots been asleep all year. Get him fixed up.

 

[spook]

Did I say beyond expectations? I meant wildest dreams.

Got beaten one on one by Bellis. That would never happen to a fully fit Dusty

He got towelled by Conca last year. These ex-teammates who have played against him for years at training games and drills certainly have the experience to take Dusty on. Won't happen all the time but it's going to happen.

 

[spook]

Put him in the paddock until the autumn.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Noticed he struggled picking the ground ball up a couple of times

 

[nikolasmia]

Whether we like it or not, Dusty lifts for September.

Lets hope there is a September for us this year.

 

[dimmauchamp]

Get him on a smugglers boat to Vegas for the rest of the year and then bring him back a week before the season. Dont care what Dusty does now. He has given us everything. He could refuse to come out at half time and go to the oub instead and ill still love him.
In saying that i think Dusty might have found a girl. A girl he really likes and just perhaps footy isnt no 1 priority anymore. Who could blame him. Best Tiger of all time for me

 

[Tigers of Old]

He almost looked human.
Where is he at? Is he injured?
Additional workload?
Teams putting more time into him?

Numbers are down across the board. I can't believe i'm saying it but we need a bit more from the Champ tbh.

I don’t think he has recovered from his foot injury.

Older.

Has to be something, like the corkie in 2018 that slowed him down.
Something imo is affecting him and bringing backwards to the levels of other players.
