All football fans had to admire Dusty's 2017; one of the all time great individual seasons winning nearly every award on offer. In 2017 he joined Fyfe, Ablett, Robbie Gray and Franklin as a superstar of the competition.
Fast forward 12 months and he is a shell of what is was last year. Naturally it's difficult to sustain such high levels but he's fallen off a cliff this season. Averaging less goals, less tackles and over 25% less touches. This to me is showing 2017 was an anomaly, much the same as Woewodin's 2000 fluke year.
Mamtin in 2020 according to player tracking using afl.com.au/playerpredictor/Mamtin
Consider this; he is no longer in the top 10% of players at his club; a club built on an assortment of role potatoes. Tugger fans will surely dispute this but is he better in 2018 than the following:
Caddy - no
Riewoldt - no
Rance - arguably but probably not
Cotchin - no
Vlaustin - no
At this rate, Mamtin will struggle to get 20 Brownlow votes - a 30% drop from last year. Probably one of the biggest hangover years the game has seen. All this is showing that Dudstin = Shane Woewodin Mk II
