Workin class boy.
Great way to describe it Jack.

He is playing angry. Wants to physically hurt the opposition. I am sure Roughead shat himself at one point in the game.

He is averse to assault, SA. He wants to win. He has the talent. But he doesn't know quite how.

He did show some anger, though, Aces. (First quarter. Second a bit.) He is learning.
 
Looking for the don't argues now, rather than them being instinctive. Needs to reign them in a bit.

Dead on, it's like he actually invites the player to tackle him just so that he can hurt them and make them look silly all at the same time. Building an aura of invincibility about him.
 
Whilst he doesnt say much, you can tell he loves his teammates out there. Goes in to bat for them when they are getting picked on by the opposition. Our big bodied midfielder we have been craving for years.
 
I found it amusing in one instance Dusty is on the ground, one of his teammates offers a hand to lift him up and Dusty knocks it away.
 
I loved at one time when opposition got a dodgy free when ducking into a Dusty tackle and Dusty gave him a nice push in the back as he was trying to get up. Dusty has that super competitive streak and I love that in a player.

I though lt he was pretty selfish tonight. Demanding the ball when he wasn't clear and trying to take on tackles rather than giving it off to someone in a better position.

One time he gave it to Cotch and should have shepherded him but instead ran on to get the receive only to be blocked and turn it over.

I reckon it's team instruction. Give it to Martin at every opportunity. Saw a couple of times ticking in player's minds that he was too close to handball off to but when they saw it was Dusty they hand-balled it anyway. Can't call him selfish for following the game plan.

The diff between Dusty and Danger, and its stark, the umps love giving frees to Danger, they love giving frees against Dusty. Anyone thinks I'm paranoid, watch their 2 games from the weekend.

You're right, snake. Not paranoid.

And Danger gets roughly fifteen minutes to dispose of the ball when tackled.

Add Cotchin to that list. He gets destroyed by the knobs
Martin and cotchin got assaulted at times last night with slaps across the face and getting tripped all were called played on.
Dangerfield has pace and that makes him break open games, his kicking is awful at times, where Martin gets in close and fights himself out the situation
2 great players.
