The games we've won he's been at his best. It goes hand in hand with the way we play. When we play direct football it makes Dusty much more damaging because that style plays into his hands. A booming kick, willingness to take the game on, very strong 1 on 1. When we're stuck chipping it around and going backwards he still gets the ball but is less effective because there's no one to kick to/no directness in our play.

Rodney Dangerfield
Doesn’t matter
Dangerfield has barely played a bad game and they are winning more often than not.
He's probably a dead set certainty but that doesn't detract from Martins great season.
Our year will see to it that he has no hope of winning I reckon.

Plenty of chances ahead.
It doesn't really bother me anyway.
I'd much rather us just be a good team than have a player win a Brownlow.

The number 1 possession getter in the league Lachie Neale isn't even in the top 100 for tackles, and Dangerfield ranked 2nd for Disp is only 42nd for tackles.

We had 51 they had 58
We've never been a tackling team, it's pathetic.
Our side stands for nothing.
We don't tackle, don't move the ball quickly, don't run with it, don't win, don't anything!
It's bullshit. I've had enough. Flogs.
Ps. Sorry Dusty I love you, just not your insipid team mates.

39 possessions suggests he had the ball most of the time he was near it.
You would think (given how he finishes the Season off well) he is going to poll very high and top 3 in the count is a big possibility. However the lack of numbers in Richmond' W column, his slow(ish) start to the Season and that Dangerfield has been next level for most of the Season would make it hard to see him up winning the thing. He might even poll enough votes this year that could have seen him win it in recent years. However to me it seems the White Walker who looks like the spawn of Skeletor and a Gabage Patch Kid from down the Cattery way has one hand firmly on the medal at this stage.

Anyone see the article on afl.com about botempelli being better than dusty this year?
Bloody spare me
Botempelli is a gun no doubt but Dusty has been immense this year and anyone down talking his performances can go ead

If bont played fr Richmond and Dusty played for Bulldogs, they won't be saying that.
Laughable article. Confirms the Dogs and the Bont in particular are the AFL darlings at the moment. All it really states is that Dustry will go back and assist the defense, while the Bont will run forward for cheap goals. They should have a chart representing goals leaked by Dusty and Bontempelli.

Or they could also assess how would Bont go in our team where dusty is carrying the team. If dusty played for any of the top 8 teams he would be home in the medal already. Instead he busts a gut winning possession but has zero options downfield - no wonder his effectiveness is lower
