Playing he's a millionaire (which he is!). Almost needs to be dropped like a few of his mates to jolt him into action. Some players seem too comfortable at the moment.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

I complained about his defensive pressure after last weeks games.
0 tackles in 2 weeks.
Back to basics champ.
Everyone goes through a form slump, but to get out of it you need to go back to basics!
Try and lay 5 to 10 tackles.
Try and hit targets up the line instead of trying to pin point a spear pass 50m away across half back.
Give first option instead of trying to break the tackles.

Do the above, get your confidence back sky high and start to repeat 2017 form!

The guy is a champ, he'll be fine. Just needs to get out of the slump he is in. And WE need him to do that ASAP

His arrogant missed check side goal attempt in quarter 3 was the turning point in last night's game. 

Professional players should at least be attempting drop punts from there.

Dusty's form is why no player should be offered more than a 4 yr term.  Just promotes a bit of laziness. 

He needs a big lift and change of attitude.  ie improved defensive pressure

The last thing he needs is to be dropped.
He’s a champion who needs a confidence boost - i would put him deep in the forward line from the start of the game to let him nail a couple of one on one contests. Might be needed anyway with Jack out for a month.
He’ll be back before we know it.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

I hope so because he is the team's barometer....  :shh

He is to caught up counting the $15k a quarter he gets . Considering he spends 5mins on rotation, works out to $1000 a minute for actual playing . Good gig to get .

Such a misleading way to work it out. It's a full time job, not 15 mins a quarter.

De Goey is the new Dusty.

We should’ve gone after him when we had the chance.

I think we’ve seen the best of Dusty 2017

Dusty couldnt give a toss...he did what he had to do in 2017 and set up the rest of his life financially..

won a prem won the brownlow, a norm smith...what more does he need?

what??? do people really believe he cares anymore about winning or losing??? IMO its "job done" as far as he and his old man are concerned

Yeah right he doesn't care. Dusty does but his form is the issue.

As for degoey being the new dusty. stuff me give me a break.  No flags No Brownlow means he is about as good as Greg Tivendale
