Who is more reliant on their best player?

Without question, the 2 best players in the AFL are Dusty and Danger, however which team is more reliant on them.

There has been a lot of talk about Geelong being a one man team in recent times. However, Dangerfield hasent really had that much of an impact in any game this year - Geelong even won in Round 1 without him. Even with a lot of injuries, Geelong have been able to remain competitive relying on their kids.

The conversation probably needs to revert to Richmond being very reliant on Dusty. He kicks most of their goals and you could argue that without him, they would be a pretty average team.

Danger isn't in Dusty's league at this point in time.

You could make an argument for several players being better than Dangerfield.

Richmond have a decent backline, Geelongs is a lot more questionable, so if they were both to sit out a season, I think Richmond are more equipped to cope compared to Geelong
 
Dangerfield didn't really have an impact on the weekend and Geelong still won. If you take out Franklin from Sydney's team then no doubt they would've lost to the Bulldogs and Eagles. Franklin has carried the Swans to this point and they would be sitting with a 1-3 record without him.

It's 100% Franklin, he was the point of difference between the Bulldogs & Swans on the weekend and it was the same case against the Eagles

If the conversation is purely Danger vs Dusty, then I'd have to say Geelong are more reliant on Danger.

Richmond share the ball well with one another, which doesn't necessarily rely on Dusty doing anything specific.

That said however, if you were to compare OUTs wholistically, then one could argue that Geelong hold up well; their current list is decimated with injuries and yet they continue to compete.
