makes me wonder about 'journalism' ... how do the 'journalists' feel about being whores to clickbait?

mass-culture narcissism and the dollar ...
My grandfather was a Walkley winning newspaper journo. Spent his days getting pissed and gambling the family home at the races. But… he could write and the news cycle was daily/weekly not hourly. It’s a horror show, the world has sped up way too much

Has the media narrative regarding Dusty changed recently?

It seems to have gone from “Dusty will move to Sydney for the lifestyle and he loves it there” to Dusty will move to Gold Coast because they have the money and space in their cap” to ”Dusty will stay at Richmond but he has fallen out of love with the game and will never be the same player again.”

My money is on Dusty tearing his critics a new one next year. At Richmond.
Sam Maclure on FC still mocked Caro for saying he will stay at RFC, claiming a move is on. It worries me somewhat to hear he did not turn up to the 'Wacky Wednesday' party with all the boys yesterday apparently , if you can believe the Ch.7 report.

But probably just because he wants to avoid attention? Still, his manager has supposedly been over in New York too.
All seems to be getting late for any huge move, unless a team still in finals?
 
Are we allowed to Re sign him for another 2 years and lower the 2x $1.3M to 4x$650k even if he plays out of the square for the last 2 years?
The Can . Obviously you are in the know . On the money

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.
He is not going anywhere.
This crap is so boring.

I thought The Can was joking, but it looks like a reasonable thing to do. Duz gets less for next 2 years to ease the cap and stays with us for another 2 years. Sounds good.

His manager was in Brisvegas last Friday.

I could handle that. fixes a huge issue the next 2 years. Dusty at 80% @ 650 is ok.

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
Been saying it for 2 years. We need a tagger.

Even if it's 'break glass in case of emergency ' like Lachie Neale was.

Graham? Mansell? As one poster suggested out of left field Castagna?

Geez Neale was immense, and Nank should be bloody disappointed. They had NO ruckman after 5 minutes and Neale still destroyed us
