Frustrating dichotomy between potential and output.

Reckon if his scoring said 33.13 rather than 23.23 the we'd probably think his year was better.

Thought he was OK but clearly struggles with a tag or close checking

Exactly, but for 10 lousy goals and his year was much like 2012...i think what frustrates most is e looks to have the ability to push 25 plus possies a week which he rarely if ever does, his tank is questionable, thats ok, he is a super damaging forward :shh

Needs to improve his kicking bigtime at times costs us to much turnovers and trys to do to much sometimes.

The challenge for our club is to extract the best out of Dusty..
Can see him playing mainly in the forward line next season.

Disagree, think with another preseason under his belt he will spend more time in the midfield, but having said that he will always be a midfielder that will go forward for short bursts simply bc he is so damaging.

Think ppl are reading way too much into this bad boy bad behavior thing, apart from that 1 error of judgement he's been on the right path and has worked really hard on building up his fitness, not sure why ppl are pooting themselves thinking he's at the crossroads.

Crap season. Expected him to take the next step but he failed to do so. Perhaps less clubbing and bourbons?

2011 remains his best year so far.

Not to many to choose from

Is that why a club official will be following Dusty and James O'connor from bar to bar in a Club RSV (Rumour Suppression Vehicle)  ;D

Yep. I've heard some pretty interesting tales of Dusty's antics.
Not sure if all of them are true, but often when there's smoke there's fire. A lot of my friends see him out and about.
