The media are always looking for the 'new Dusty' but they inevitably fall short of the hype.

Dusty 2017 was almost the perfect season. doubt overall there has been a better season by a player. Leigh Matthews stated this.
However... Abletts season of 1993 when he kicked 124 goals in 17 matches at an average of 7.3 is very hard to beat. in any era. He only had 246 disposals for the entire year!! hard to believe really. every 2nd kick was a goal!!

I have no idea where Dustin ranks really. I have no idea where most players rank. All I'm really sure of is Ablett Lethal and Carey are the three greatest I've seen with any clarity. I was a pup when Hart was out there. I love Dustin. I also loved Plugger Diesel and Bernie Quinlan and would've gladly paid just to watch them. Every game Dustin plays from here is a gift so enjoy it.
The best I've seen in 50 years
No particular order Ablett senior
Carey Voss Martin Knights
Loved knights... But he's not in the same conversation as Dusty.
For me, Dusty is the greatest player of his generation. Every generation has one and this is Dustin’s.
Gee, Dermott Brereton seems to a forgotten man around here
As CHFs, I always rated Dermie ahead of Carey. Royce probably better than both, but slightly before my time to see him at his best.
Maybe my opinion is skewed because I really liked watching Derm, but thought Carey was a flog (although great player) and many memories of him playing all those finals in the 80s
Anyway, Dusty = GOAT

Nah not forgotten larrabee. He’s one bloke that I would have loved to have been a Tiger. Not happy about his treatment of Tony Free though.
Love the swagger. Came to a school where I was teaching and delivered a brilliant talk about applying yourself to a task. Great message. Year Nines didn’t know him but he has a magnetic personality.

I loved Derm as a player but Carey was better.
The Free incident happened right in front of me. Freezer ran at Derm out of his blindside with murder on his mind and Derm saw him just in time to raise his elbow and cave in Freezer's face.
Dermie's worst act against us was using the 'within 5 metres' rule to run through an unsuspecting and unprotected Des Ryan at a stoppage. One of the worst dog acts you've ever seen, worse even than Dog Stewart's on Dion.

I would go to any game to watch Huddo. I saw him make Kelvin Moore look totally inadequate in a practice match one day.
Magnificent full forward.
My Grandfather, who saw a lot of of footy in his lifetime up until 1980 when he passed away, maintained to his death that the best footy player he ever saw was Laurie Nash.
Just sayin'...............
Just sayin'...............
I saw Bones keep Huddo goaless in a proper match - now that was something
But you’re right - Hudson was magnificent
