Interestingly he seems comfortable fending off with either arm.

He's an ambidon't as you've brilliantly shown, ToO. Rare stuff.

Yep Firrito. Not a small man. First time i thought to myself that Dusty is no ordinary footballer
I remember that game, he absolutely rag dolled Firrito, and it came the week after he'd done the same thing to Harry O against Collingwood.

150 games for Dusty this week against the Pies which means he qualifies for RFC life membership.

you ripper. Great vision Oldie. Got me thinking about some bio-mechanics. Why can Dusty do this so effortlessly and hardly anyone else can?

I reckon he must have extraordinary reach. You look at the pictures, when his palm is flat on a blokes neck, the tacklers fingertips are grasping at him.

Obviously he is brahman bull strong, but like a dominant boxer (say Floyd Mayweather), hes got a big wing span and can keep blokes at bay with a straight arm.

Richmond Official, could you please measure Dustys wingspan for us? Im betting its near 2m.

Good work ToO....funny how he just doesn't e en bother to look at the tackler, it's like just get the *smile* out of my way .

Hate been negative but think he may be using it a bit much, his got a brilliant side step, just think his getting caught a bit more often, just needs to mix it up a bit.
He uses it every time he doesn't have an option. Unfortunately he doesn't use it more. It is about the only interesting thing that happens in a RFC game these days.

If he's only using it when he doesn't have an option he should be using it about 3000 times a game.

I love the picture of Dusty fending off a team mate in training. I can't find it, but it actually looks like he's about to push a hole through the bloke's chest.

Is it a boy?

thats another thing weve failed at. fertility. Bec Judd's about to pop out No.4 in about 3 years. The Blues could have 10 Judds in the one side the way their going. Juddy, a champ on and off the field :clap

Posted about this a while back. There's another two Silvagnis on the way too, the one currently at Xavier is about 195cm already and runs like the wind allegedly. Kicked about 8 in a Yr.10 school game a couple of months ago. I posted a link somewhere to a photo of all the Bloos F/Ss on their website. In comparison, we are like the desert.

Sometimes I can only explain this club by thinking it must be cursed. Infertility was one of the major things primitive tribes used to fear wasn't it?

Gee they have come quickly. Wouldn't have missed many games !

Expect BOG

missed 5.

his u18 highlight reel on rfc.com just looks like dusty, without tattoos. He was fending off and nailing bullet passes 50m away as a kid.

Its no wonder swans tried to diddle us out of pick 2. Who went at those 2 picks they tried to trade us (it was something like 5 and 9, or something ridiculous, so glad we didnt take the bait)?

If it was joey nobody and *smile* lounder, we should be celebrating this bigtime.

Dusty is a tiger great.

Easily explained. Over the last 30 years most of our players didn't have the balls.

It was pick 6 and 14 for pick 3.

Sydney used those picks on Rohan and Jetta.

big win for us then. Cel-e-brate good times - come on :partyfest

its a celebration!

weve got dusty, and the swans have a very erratic ranga, and the eagles have got a bloke who cant get a game.

Thats an inverse 'only at richmond/why always us/etc/etc'

Sheesh, harsh! You can own that one. But funny.

Actually, its' another bizarre aspect of this club. Not sure if L2R2 would have any stats, but seriously think we must be extremely low on the F/S table. It's persisting too with both Lids and Cotch siring girls.

Not that there's anything wrong with girls, mind you, have a lovely one myself. Heh, we could get a RFC team for them ...........Oh, wait, we tried that.

Seriously, is there some kind of curse on the place? Do we need to get the exorcists in?
