This season so far is a case of one step forward one step back for Dusty. Inside game seems to be improving with more time in the midfield. Contested beast. But with less time up forward his outside game has suffered and he's not kicking many goals. Needs a balance. Previously he was far too outside.

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.

Thought exactly the same and that it was a good sign.

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

His kicking is like my golf game. Full blooded swing/kick and it's a beauty. Try and dial it back and it turns to water. Is there a similar phrase for kicking as a ball like the golf "Grip it and Rip it" saying ?
 
Just love this bloke. I could watch him all day. Must be a coaches dream, no matter what you know he will give his best. Even while he has been down recently he was still giving his all. In recent weeks he has even gone back to using his left, having him and Jack and Lids doing it is great I wish a few others would realise that.

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.

Topped the coaches votes
 
Was by far our most consistent and damaging midfielder on the night. Great game. Am liking his improvement this year.
 
Can anyone actually tackle him...lol...even when he's on the ground he wiggles out of the tackle. I've never ever seen anyone like him.
 
Slow start to the season, but is becoming unstoppable. Very pleasing to see him play in the guts and dominating.
 
A highlights package of his don't argues to some heavy metal music would be awsome

Are you old enough to have seen Leigh Matthews? I've never seen anyone like him, but Dusty is quite remarkable in his own right.

Burst out of the gates at the start of the season, BOG round 1 and 2, as soon as the news of the old man hit, he hit a wall. Seems to be coming to terms with it now...nice to see him send the old man a cheerio!
