Would rather see Dusty go forward for 10 minutes than back, would be far more damaging.
Dusty clones would be good

Would have been good for the nuffers who wanted to get rid of him, we could have done that and still had a Dusty when they were proven horribly wrong

Tigger needs to play in the guts. That is his position. And don't give me the story that he hasn't got the tank. He is an inside mid. He's got enough tank to play there.

Totally disagree
Clearly not quick enough
And that's why he is playing down back

That's ridiculous. What about Sam Mitchell? I'll throw in Diesel Williams too. As an inside mid you don't need pace. You just need awareness, strength and speed of mind.

Yes i agree he has gone backwards. Noticed a decline last year. I my eye the best games he has played recently are the 2 he played as a mid..... This is his spot IMO.

Former defender Nick Vlastuin is adjusting to a new role in the midfield and he hasn't had great results offensively in the opening four rounds, averaging 11 disposals. The plan was for Vlastuin to rotate forward with the team's other inside midfielders, but he has won 55 per cent of his possessions in the back half. The hard-nosed Tiger's defensive side certainly hasn't disappeared, laying 22 tackles in four games, and he is using the ball at 96 per cent efficiency.

Interesting times -  i think its harsh to mark our players on total disposals this season compared to last season as we are clearly as much lower possession side this year vs the past.
