So how did we all rate Dusty's year?

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Stagnated.

[Stalin]

Stagnated.

[the claw]

An absolute BBUUUUMMMM. 

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

Gets better every year. Will be our best player by next season! Absolute stuffing JET!

[JP Tiger]

Just like his ink - gets bigger every year!   

[Go Richo 12]

Trade for Yarran

[WilliamPowell]

Took the next step

Built his tank, though still work to be done

Great year. Can turn a game with a 5-10 minute spell as a forward.

Deserves the JDM

For a one on one contest in the forward line he is one of the best in the AFL

l rated Martin as a 7. He failed on the big stage when it mattered most. He has had 3 seasons to get it right like others around him. Players need to put the body on the line at times for Dusty to break free as like Cotchin needs. This is why we fail. Hard one week & not the next. This is why you need players such as Tuck & Jackson who wore the brunt of the bumps.

[Stalin]

disagree

martin and cotchin are performing at a high level

they are not the reason we fail

[TigerMonk]

Did you even read what l wrote

[Stalin]

i did but they are still only 24 and 25

hard to carry a bunch of muppets all year

[TigerMonk]

l will explain it too you

Dusty & Cotchin are so sore after going in hard against a Hawthorn, That its hard for them to get up the next week because bruises don't heal in a week. If we had a strong body player like a Tuck or Jackson to protect them instead of people like Hunt who is gutless to protect them. We aint going to beat anyone after a solid win against a premiership team. Ever been in the rooms after a game & seen a player like Miles. Poor lad needs to be just about carried around he can hardly walk from been beaten to a polp. Same as Cotchin. We need a player like Hodge or Lewis who protect the Mitchell & Rioli

[TigerMonk]

This is why the cheats North rested so many players. To bring in players to go all out hard to injure our players cause they had nothing too lose & wanted to play us in Melbourne. We should have rested our players also & l bet they would have tanked to lose then. Its plain as day

Very smart by the Kangaroos club. They are laughing their guts out at how stupid our club fell for that. We would have been better playing Adelaide over there
