From the video of Dusty training where he was down in a crouch position and trying to sprint away for 10 to 15m...first impression.... he'll need to improve a heck of a lot. He looked quite slow. No doubt he is still getting confidence in his leg so he'll go flat out later this week or next week but his leg speed looked down and his leg drive was not Dusty at his best which is understandable. Perhaps Dusty's speed off the mark has usually come more from his amazing leg drive rather than natural leg speed. I remember in his comeback matches before the WC game he seemed to be getting caught and tackled a bit more, so if he does come back for finals he will be improving with each game. Let's hope we play 3 or 4 finals matches to allow him to develop into the Dusty we remember.

Good point.

You look at their defence.

Andrews - Lynch
Adams / Payne - Jack
Starcevich - Dusty
Prior - Cumberland
Coleman - Rioli

Reckon we'd be liking those matchups
That's 5. Who goes to Jack Ross?

It's an important matchup because Ross swaps with Bolton so the Brissy defender has to man the freak Shai.
And the bris mids will be negligent and Ross gets 15 score involvements

Playing possum. He’ll tear them a new one if he plays

Chl 10 in their upcoming sports report saying "Dusty Martin BACK on light duties at the Tiger's"

Hopefully they are just ignorant that Dusty trained hard Saturday and Monday, (whilst the rest of the squad where on a 4 day break), and today was just a ''stretch the legs day'? with main training to come tomorrow. That's what I am hoping anyway.
Will see what the finer details are in their main sports report.

I'd rather they misreport that Martin is only half ready, rather than making everyone believe he's fit and firing for the first Elimination final.

You do better reports and study training more than any of those hacks do, Julius. They wouldn’t know a fact if it walked up and bit them on the arse.

Have to say that Ch 10 seems to show more of us in their sports news than Ch 7 does.

FFS it was a nothing story it was a light session for everyone they had a shot of Lynch, Prestia, Grimes and Dusty walking the boundary, but their Headline at the start of the bulletin was "Dusty Back on light duties": :rolleyes:

Well they sucked me in as I hung around for 30 minutes to listen to their nothing story.

There's an unfortunate video of Dustin someone is trying to spread on Twitter. He could get in a lot of trouble for it if it gains traction. He grabs a topless girls boob and shakes it.

Someone has set up a fake twitter account and is posting the video in the comment sections of journos and AFL etc.

So looks like he’s guaranteed a job in AFL commentary when he retires?

How does he get in trouble if it's not him? It's just another dumbf*ck breathing oxygen again.

Seems like you're trying to spread this rumor. Maybe don't.
