The game was a shootout and we continually let Lauchie Neale win the centre square clearance and bomb it long into their forward line. Our defence was under constant fire.
Stop Lauchie Neale and we would have won by 6 goals.
Football is won from the centre square clearances since the 6/6/6 rule was introduced.
Not by rebounding from defence as punters like Carter are still yet to comprehend

It didn't work out poorly. We only lost by 2 points.

That's working out poorly.

But you're exactly right that it wasn't Dusty's fault.

This is the problem with looking at consequences over process. And the reason the football media is so infantile.

There certainly was a Caro article in The Age on Saturday

Anyway it would be interesting to hear from Caro whether at any stage in her career she has participated in any behaviour (even just comments, conversations, jokes and the like) that by todays standards would be regarded as completely disrespectful to certain groups.

And if so - and even if it was years ago - would she expect to be pilloried for it now?
Sorry Tenacious I don't share your enthusiasm to "it would be interesting to hear from Caro'

from what I've heard and read from her in the past few years just oozes bitterness , is hugely agenda drive and very twisted

the number of people she really hates is huge , put her and Cornes in the same bucket , trying to pick out the facts out of anything she pens just isn't worth the time & energy
and both are a blight on the game

Once we lost Prestia we were going to be against it. No wonder we’re into Taranto and Hopper

So if I'm understanding all that, you're contention is that when someone makes public a video of the biggest player in the game, touching an almost naked woman on the breast, that the media shouldn't report it?

And you think I live in a naive world?
Well it took 7 years to make it public so not sure if it is really of much public interest. As has been shown by the story effectively disappearing.

TBH if Dusty can’t be bothered playing for us he’s not going to get a sudden post 31 career spike and deliver 2017-2020 Dusty for another club

My prediction is he’ll stay. Take a slight clip to keep jack and Cotch on coin that’s respectable and we get 2-3 players in outside of the draft

Reports we met with Hopper. Only reason we would meet with him is Dusty a chance to leave. The plot thickens

Now that Kingsley's GWS coach I wouldn't be surprised it provides Duz the new destination he wanted and the Giants 2 years of help with mids/forward. Don't think they expect him to be super anymore. Kingsley is the link to all of this.

Cornes on footy panel - it could happen that Dusty wants to go to GC, but he would be too big a risk and I would advise GC against it. fmd
Dusty would never want to go there. But GC would LOVE that to happen. As if they would knock Dusty back
 
Well explained. That's certainly looking at it glass half full. I'm ok with that but it's still an interesting question to pose. Especially as the team was flying after 4 on the trot.
May have got away with it though if Prestia isn't injured.
Prestia doesnt go off we win.

No doubt.

Dusty is staying. Has informed the club.
Unless the club has now decided they don’t want him
Now I would like to see a positive, happy and communicative Dusty. Just on the club media sites, where he can approve before publication of any vision or print.
