A beast

Better than Danger because of his incredible kicking ability.

A genuine superstar at the peak of his powers.
The scary thought is i still think he can get better. If his endurance is this high early in the season its only going to improve meaning he will get to more contests = more possessions and more goals.
Dusty should be a role model for all juniors (keep your mouth closed, play football and be humble).

Feel sorry for Ralphy Carr's dick this morning- will be red raw.
The sad part about dusty is the better he gets the more carr gets (id say the fee will be a percentage if dustys contract).
If carr was ethical he should cap his fee and let dusty get his right rewards.
Players keep asking for more money (no refernce to dusty) but the afl should step in and cap the managers fees. Managers then have no icentive to shop their players around to the highest bidder (ffs thats what ebay auctions are for).

Will be even better if we end up with both. Had Dusty posters growing up old mate Fyfey :cool:
If any half decent team had them both they automatically elevate to become a contender. We saw the difference one superstar can make to a team last year with Geelong. But if you retain Martin you won't be having the cap space to land Fyfe though sorry. I actually think it will be a big call for your club.. which way you go will depend on where you think you're at. Two first rounders and a big chunk of cap space freed up if you want to rebuild... or a genuine superstar locked in if you think you've got the list to make use of it.

funny thing is we would have the cap space for both if we sign dusty to 800-900k

collingwood seem to think they are in the running for dusty when CLEARLY they have more players on huge contracts
