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.

He is a great Tiger!!! Congratulations on now being a Tiger for life Dusty.

Rosy is their any chance you could put back up his original thread? I want to read about our reactions when he first started.

Feel free to discuss Dusty the footballer here as opposed to son of Shane. I've temporarily removed the other thread until I get a chance to separate the political talk from the footy discussion. Will merge with this one once sorted.

Sorry Rosy don't want to rush or annoy you about this. Just want to read about our comments when Dusty first started playing.
 
Martin seems to be settled and comfortable in his environment. Enjoying his footy and feeling very much part of a group that supports and encourages him. It's all aiding is maturation and that will continue to improve his footy.
 
was that an organised crime gang doing the haka, or just a few kiwi blokes? :hihi

It was pick 6 and 14 for pick 3.

Sydney used those picks on Rohan and Jetta.

Just as a hypothetical if Melb had taken Martin 1 I assume Eagles would still have taken Natanui 2 but would we have taken Watrs at 3 or did Mel rate him way higher than every club?
And if Mel had taken Natanui would Eagles have taken Dusty over Watts? If so would we have picked Nat or someone else?

Different draft I think. Wasnt it Scully Trengove then Martin?

Different draft 22nd. Scully and Tregrove went 1 & 2 to the Dee's.
 
Another great performance from him. It wwas great we were able to give him a win for his 150th game, loved the Haka celebration.

Martin was followed by Morabito, Cunnington, Rohan, Sheppard, Butcher, Andrew Moore, Melksham, Gysberts and Kane Lucas. We drew the lucky ticket out of the top dozen.

That bloody Jackson! What the hell did he think he was doing drafting Dusty? Could so easily have picked Mora, Butcher or Moore n kept his forum rep intact.
