In terms of Dusty's greatness. Who has dominated 3 finals series like Dusty has? Not just dominated but won games so emphatically and bossed every game. Every game.

I recall hazily Gary Ablett Snr in that amazing finals series and kicking 9 in a losing GF. But it was one series.

Kevin Bartlett? I vaguely know he dominated the 1980 finals series. Is he comparable?
Ablett and Bartlett's series were both amazing. God with his brute power and Kevy with guile pace and finishing. I was at all 3 1980 finals and lemme tell you KB would walk into this Richmond side and tear *smile* up. Was an absolute genius around packs. We wouldn't have made the GF without him. Semi Final v Cats was a tight contest, Kev slams through lazy 8 straight. Bamboozled em. This greatest finals player of all time business still makes me a tad queasy.... Hungry Bartlett was some player in September.

Bartlett read the game so well, it is something you notice in great players. He was a wiry guy too but they would smack him down and he would just get up again.

Dusty reads it so well too, the timing he showed intercepting the handball to kick that goal on Saturday was great.

He was good. Also has Mabs, Shai and Dan Rioli.

Still can't get over those North and Adelaide offers. ...... $ 11M over 7yrs!

Can't wait for this doco that's been going on past 4 years... Ralph didn't mention when it will be released unfortunately.
