Silly by Dusty. He's better than that. I know they hang off him and scrag him all the time but all the cameras are on him and he will get a week (probably at a critical time) if he does it again.

The cameras are on him, that is true, but it seems the cameras must go missing when "they are hanging off him", in other words holding him when he is not in possession of the ball. Could the moron commentators call that out, and possibly the even more moronic umpires, actually enforce the rules as written?
I am clearly asking too much, enforce the rules as written, perish the thought.
What was Pickett's fine for? Too long since they last fined him I suppose.

Dusty & Tim T's opponents held them so tight I thought they going to ask them to get married.
TT was continually infringed against, and the flogs did nothing. It’s been happening to Dusty for years, so I’m not surprised that he occasionally reacts, especially as the flogs don’t seem to care.
Both Martin and Bolton averaging a goal a game and 20 possessions. Great effort, but when you look at the career stats of KB, it makes you really appreciate just how good a player he was. Over a sample of 403 games, to average over 20 possessions and almost 2 goals a game.
As mentioned on Fox when they showed the player list with the most career possesions and Pendlebury closed in on the record, KB was the only player from a time when a stat meant that you'd gone in and earned the stat.
A truly remarcable player.
As Richmond supporters, we are blessed to have been able to witness the careers of KB and Dustin Martin, two of the best mids to have played the game, Richo and Hart, two of the best forwards to have played thegame, and Rance, one of if not the best key defender to play the game.

Its not the first time a Tiger has belted him from memory.
Must be a bit of a lippy campaigner Witherden

In the 1980 final series he kicked 6.3 against Carlton, 8 straight against the Cats and 7.4 in the Grand Final. Absolutely nuts.
Its looking ominous.
To be frank we've played bottom sides lately. Swans miss Chad Warner. Freo in a hole.
So we've been tested once recently and fluffed it against the brions.
I'm interested to see how we go against Melb in 2 weeks.
Meh.
Give them 48 hours and the media will be distracted by the next concocted outrage.
Just on the elbow..looked to me like Dusty retaliated to what was possibly a pinch initiated by Witherden as it was a bit out of character.
Give them two minutes and they’ll find a target for their faux outrage or fawning.
