I think you lose that ability when you're constantly knackered. He's just MILES off the pace. If he wasn't Dusty, he'd be back in the Ressies to get fit.

He seemed to get to where the ball is more tonight but his disposal was terrible. Not breaking tackles like he used to either.
I was shocked when he missed that goal. But he has a couple of credits in the bank.
He’s lost a yard right now. There’s been a bunch of times the last few weeks where he’s been closed down with the ball. That hardly ever happened before.
I would say stop paying attention to the media drum up. It's a bunch of wild speculation based on nothing. Not even an "inside source" saying he wants to leave. Literally nothing.
Let’s not forget that he’s coming off a very serious injury as well.
Lacerated kidney. Lost a lot of weight. And strength too by the look of it.
Think people are forgetting Dusty aint getting any younger. While you can see his mind is still trying to do the freaky things his body isnt cooperating. Sadly we have seen the best of Dusty
Yeah, we've seen the best of him, but Dusty is capable of much more - just needs to be much fitter. It will come, but let's see how he's travelling in a month or so before we write him off.
Not writing him off just think ppl need to temper expectations and stop thinking we are going to see the Dusty of 2017.
I never ever want to see the champ ever leave punt rd. But if it came from him that he did want to move to Sydney for personal reasons then the trigger should be pulled whilst his value is still sky high. Sickening thought though.
I thought the world had slipped its moorings twice last night
Once when we led the free kicks
Then when dusty missed.
But dustys shadow of his former self, is twice as good as 95% of players
Had a really poor night.
Not his fault.
Do they drop in the cricket pitch on the SCG.
Because Dusty was slipping and sliding in the first half and that snap was very industry like.

I don't agree. I think he's just a bit unfit from the layoff. If he wants it, he's got 3 or 4 years left at if not his full peak, not far off.
