He was great today and in those games but im comparing him to the impact
that other midfielders have on a big game.For example Selwood last week in the last
against quality opposition and Dangerfield against North.
I havent seen Dusty do it in those big games this year.His finals were also poor.
No doubt his inside contested work has improved but im still waiting for him
to change a game when the heat is really on.Next test is Port in adelaide.
Gold coast, Bombers, Fremantle all rubbish opponents.

Yes, yes and yes. Still an unproven match winner on the big stage. Not a popular view on this site but only a B+ player until proven otherwise. I reckon he just about gets 3 votes everytime against inferior opposition.

Loved the crowd murmur when he did that to Gaz. Reckon he did it twice to Gaz today. Was outstanding today, almost gave me a heart attack in the last though when he won that contest in 50, was about 30m out and passed to Lloyd.

Easily our best player.
Remember, most of the dopeysiders wanted to get rid of him.

Too many tatts, or some nonsense.

Find if I've ever wanted him traded? The dumb bastards at GWS could've won this years flag if they had him.
i would trade Rance befire ever traded him. He is our most/best player.
He plays well we win

Rance has won us more games than ever over the last year.

But without Dusty today game over for tigers

Very good game today, one of the best I've seen from him.

Very selfless, made some good decisions and just kept running for almost the entire game.

Not popular because not true. Go back and have a look at his games against Sydney and Hawks this year.
 
Did anyone else feel that Hardwick really tried to down play his game?

A journo asked the question about how good he was, but he kept deflecting to Griffiths, Cotchin, Conca, even Morris got a mention.

Seemed overly reluctant to praise Dusty.

Maybe my current dislike for Hardwick is clouding my judgment?
