We might get a belting, but it’s great stuff that Dusty is captain.
Well deserved

Unless he gets the team to line-up and hold a don’t argue pose for 1 minute before the match, he’ll already go down in history as a significantly better captain than Tex Walker.

Gee he was good tonight. After a ropey start to the season, he's been brilliant the last 6 or so weeks. Led from the front in a makeshift midfield with little support. Proud of him.

Brilliant game. Could not have asked anymore from him.

Yep. If we had a full strength team, this man would be in contention for a 2nd Charlie I reckon.

Playing alright for a bloke that only tried so he could get a fat contract and then gave up.

The temptation to drag up a few posts from this thread is high.
;D >:D ;D

It's incredible to be able to witness the ongoing growth from Dustin as he has matured into his superstar status. I loved seeing him get the opportunity to captain the club and perform so strongly and how perfect for channel 7 was the timing of the half-time segment! It's up on the club website now with an article:

When Dusth plays well he is by far the most dynamic player in the comp.
No one is close, even Castagna

He's back at his best. Absolutely awesome game. The Captaincy sat well on him.

Sure is, and that intercept mark and goal showed it. Signs of him joining the leadership group in 2020.
