I love all the middle aged people on social media demanding he cut his hair, because we all know that a good haircut is inherent to your football ability.
That's exactly why Dustin Martin won the Brownlow a few years ago with a half-done buzzcut before the clippers ran out of battery.
Best Captains Game he’s had?
I'll call you on that !My boy.
OK then, let’s focus on Dys. I love him. He gives his all and is a good bloke. But the rot sets in when the captain is providing a conducive medium. He is doing some outright dumb stuff. Dragging the ball back in whilst on the ground, bombing the ball to a disadvantaged area in the forward 50 and turning the ball over in the corridor. These errors are hugely contagious when the skipper does them.
I’ve always felt he is a great midfielder but it might be time for him to come off halfback again. He’s had some great games in the guts this year but we need to try something different to best fit the team going forward.
I’m not so down on our list as yourself. This list has shown a very high ceiling. I just think we need to harmonise to the list’s strengths. Maybe that means Dys to HB or perhaps even we go as far as finding a new captain. I wouldn’t take that option mid-season but I think a pre-season leadership re-jig wouldn’t be a stupid idea if we don’t make finals.That kick to hooker says it all for me
Literally kicked it to a 2 on 1 with hooker running backwards, when the game was on the line.
He is an average player with a terrible boot on him.
The more and more I watch this year the more I realise how **** now list actually is
Easily in our best players. But it’s the stuff that he’s doing wrong that needs to be addressed. He is one of our worst offenders at bombing the ball into our forward arc.I actually didn’t think he was too bad tonight.

He’s fine, you’ve just deluded yourself into thinking he was going to be a gun onballer
He was probably top 3 for us along with Fanta and MerrettI actually didn’t think he was too bad tonight.
I actually think what he’s producing is a mirror of where the overall clubs at. There’s something missing. There’s no penetration in his kicking. He’s not damaging in any way. He doesn’t hurt the opposition with his play. He’s stagnated in my mind and hasn’t become the player we hoped / thought for whatever the reason. And in terms of needing to be a leader that leads by his actions, that moment with Myers after the game to me symbolised the attitude of the place over the JLT and round 1 which as per last year has set the tone for the year. Not the stuff of a finals team.He was probably top 3 for us along with Fanta and Merrett
