Brilliant game again.

Absolute BS. How can a player that turned the ball over consistently all night be judged as "Brilliant". His turnovers directly resulted in opposition goals or stuffed up our scoring opportunities and too many of them were when he was under no pressure at all.

Give him credit for the things he gets right but open you eyes to reality because his poor disposal is also there for everyone to see - if they want to.
 
Another really good game by Dusty. Got us going in the 2nd quarter. It's remarkable how strong he is in a marking contest.
 
Wasn't his most polished game but a few weeks ago he really needed to lift and he has done that. Getting massive effort and passion from Dusty now.

Still need to be banned from kicking the ball less than 40 metres

at the end i've never seen him look so happy. he was overjoyed - as they all were. but Dusty looked mind blown thrilled. considering the story with his old man, etc, it must have felt good.

:blah :blah :blah you are the ultimate half glass empty supporter Dave!

not sure how it can be "absolute bs" unless your benchmark for a "brilliant" game is no errors full stop.

True, when you can kick it 60m off 1 step you should not kick short.
 
Good game but his disposal is taking a hit been asked to play more inside while Cotch is away. Im tipping he will clean that up when Cotch is back and get more ball on the outside
 
Bag Martin's game last night and your a tosser , kept us in the game all night .
Play real solid 2-3 votes !!!

Agree but make it 30m as he can do the mid range to acceptable standard. Also must use his left more and open the whole field up like Jack does. As he is one of the better dual sided players at our club.

Is the cat called Dusty or Martin?

full name Carn - Dustin Martin . he gets nick named tho - Big D, Number 4, etc.. i like JJTorps "Don't argue" suggestion.
 
Noticeably more active inside the contest without the ball.

Eight tackles last night and they all had intent.
 
Just watched the replay of Lloyds kick, Dusty was abouth the third bloke to get to him, and he was stoked.
Some real passion in him, I always thought him a little more aloof.
