In all the years I've been following the game, I cannot remember a player with his ability to hit a target from 55m off two steps. It is a lethal weapon. Just wow

The kick in the 3rd, wing side, that he had such deft touch on, went 30 odd metres just millimetres over 2 NM players outstretched fingers onto Jack leading into space. Sublime, perfection to watch
 
Is there any team out there with two brownlow medallists running around?
 
And 3 year consecutive All Australian Key Back.

This club is so lucky to have such a great quartet (JR8, chimp, Dusty and Tross) to be built around, shame the recruiters missed their opportunity to build a really strong side and list around them.

I don't think dusty is leaving us. His body language doesn't indicate there's a problem.
And unless our offer is completely insulting, I'm sure he'll stay.
we obviously can't know exactly what is going on but I would much rather have money on him staying than leaving. If he leaves there is no way he is going to North unless he is just looking at the highest bidder.

Jon Ralph is adamant that Dusty's brief to Ralph Carr was that he wanted a good long term deal, he wanted to stay at Richmond and that if he felt the Tigers could deliver him success and he got a fair deal he would stay

Well we need to give him that deal!
offer him $7 million over 6 years.
 
Why are we not offerg D Swan a development/midfield role. $200k a year, 4 year assistant coach role. Would not be the silliest move we make in keeping Dusty??

Fairly sure integrity is important at Hardwick's Tigers and a bloke who beats up security guards doesn't have any.

How long ago was that Knighter? 12 or 13 years ago, something like that.
If you banned every player who ever had a misdemeanour, there would be a few missing.
I'm a bit surprised you don't believe in rehabilitation. Has he changed since then? Does he donate time to charity work?
Should he never be employed again?is it just Swan or everyone else as well?

Note: I'm not downplaying any injury that occurred, nor condoning violence.
