Looking forward to dusty signing a contract as part of the video tonight (or announcing retirement, I reckon one or the other is a decent chance to be in it)
 
No way Dusty is retiring after his 300th!!
I could be wrong, but I think Dusty embraces mentoring the younger players coming through.
How much that translates in his decision making remains to be seen.
Whether he’s happy with his financial independence aka wealth and all he has achieved in the game, with most of his closest mates having retired. Whether his body is getting a little weary and the hunger and passion has ebbed.
Or
He’s happy where he is in life. His next role won’t be as a constant”match winner”. Expectations on him will be of a reasonable level.
His next challenge is to guide and mentor the next generation coming through at Punt Road.

His playing legacy is already assured.
But to also have some satisfaction that his football genius and knowledge is partially passed on would be the icing on the cake.
To stay at his club another year or two playing without expectation, only personal pride, his statue can start being built.

A couple of bits that caught my ear/eye in the video:
Tiger grog squad singing their Dusty song during the opening
Video of the trademark don't argue from a junior Dusty

Enjoyable but needed more Dusty moments
