You sure it’s not Ellis?Got the Dusty collectable bobblehead for my birthday from the kids. Doesn't look like him unfortunately.
The bonus of all those goal assist efforts is that oppo defences don't know who or when it's going to happen. Means they can't let down for a moment during games and it opens us up to having eight to ten goal scorers on a regular basis.'Unnecessary assists' might cost us a goal once in a while, but they also foster confidence in teammates and encourage a culture of selflessness. It's impossible to measure how many goals we score from the added confidence and culture of selflessness.
Jack must feel pretty good sitting on 8 goals and 2nd in the Coleman.
Agree 100%. For example, Shai Bolton passed it off in a tight Grand Final, but in a different system he might’ve been encouraged to take a shot from the boundary.
The commentators love to highlight it when it doesn’t come off - but there’s a similar or higher chance the kicker will miss it himself anyway.
It’s a competitive advantage, but one of those ones that feels worse than it is. There are moments in games that feel like huge mistakes, but they’re not. Dimma is very reasonable about those moments IMO.
Yes let’s do it for the great man and destroy the Demon pretenders.250 games coming up for the great man.
Perfect analogy Riddles.He took the *smile* tonight. He was like a cat playing with a wounded mouse.
Correct. Its very very hard to find someone good enough, athletic enough and tall enough to man Dusty up.

Find me someone who is taller than Dusty, as quick and agile as him and then we can talk. The only way to stop him is to hold and hopefully the umps will then be looking.
Obviously we are going to have to look at ways Dustin can shake the hard tag
Ironic that his 250th is going to be played against the team that elected not to draft him. Twice. Maybe our banner should say "Thanks Melbourne, from everyone at Tigerland"Yes let’s do it for the great man and destroy the Demon pretenders.

I remember quite well the Demon fans saying that even though Dusty was a better kick, that Trengove and Scully were better decision makers and that they would each be better as a result.Slight adjustment BP
Scully and Trengove, Seriously?
Thanks Melbourne, from everyone at Tigerland.
