Play Nice Dustin Martin to North | 31/8: DM signed at RFC for 1.3m/7yrs

[The Goon]

The best bit about my post is no matter what anyone says I can retort with ...

Yeah but we are potentially gaining a new player and no chance of losing a player we already have

... see what I mean?

Bit of a query on old mate Rance in big games. Towelled up by Taylor last week and his finals record is a bit ordinary.

A fine home and away player though.

Struggles when made accountable. s**t, Petrie pulled his pants down more then once.

As flogish as it is to quote myself, and there'd have to be footage of this. From memory, it was from a game against Richmond in 2014.

Scott allowed media access for his 3QT strategy. He believed Rance was vulnerable in defence and wanted to isolate him on Petrie for the last quarter.

Petrie kicked 5 last quarter goals and North pinched the game.

There has to be footage of you being flogish?? I highly doubt that!!

Not sure if you're calling me a flog, complimenting me, or having a go at my literacy?

All of the above?

 

[Jindrrk]

Just pointing out the ladder suggests your backline is s**t.

And with Dusty and Josh in the side next year it means our defence will be quality

Na Chop, B and C,

 

[The Dingrel]

Take a look at the ladder.

Indeed sometimes you gotta take a backward step to go forward. Something we've never done in my time on the planet. Oh by the way 4 premierships in that time at an average of 1 every 10 years and a decent tilt the last few years. Ladder position is part of a cunning plan and not like it was unexpected.

Only one thing to say about that.....BOOM

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

Something to think about Dusty

 

[Rad Roo]

Something to think about Dusty

You mean 1983 -

It didn't stop at 2010 did it? What happen in 2013? Oh that right beaten by team that didn't even finish in the eight. 2014? 48 zip first quarter. 2015? Choke on the big stage. 2017? Against Adelaide week 1 with a top 4 finish.....

 

[South West 29]

Dusty does not give a toss about his ninethmond teammates.

Bloke is GONE!!!!

Sorry to intrude but just thought I would bring some reality to this comparison - Rance was named 4th best player for Richmond in both the 2013 and 2015 EF's. In 2014 they only named 3 Tiger players (it was bad) but given Schulz and Westhoff only kicked two goals each he was hardly towelled on an ugly day.

Last week he lowered his colours to Harry Taylor but Harry's 11 disposal, 6 marks & 4 goals (Rance actually had 15 disposals & 5 marks himself) game wouldn't even raise an eyebrow in the days when champions like Mick Martyn and David Dench also had similar numbers and goals kicked against them.

We were at one of those EFs, and yeah nah.

And Martyn was playing against Dunstall, Lockett, Lloyd - not Harry Taylor - so not sure what the point is there.

He's a good defender. Chronically overrated. Here is not the place to find friends for an argument that he should be given more credit than the ludicrous amount that already goes his way.

Different sort of game Back then and we don't usually like to work in facts here.

Thanks anyway

Rance is so overrated that opposition coaches are devising plans to negate his effectiveness.

Has a key defender ever had this kind of attention in the history of the game?????

No you're right, Rance is the first defender in the history of football to have opposition coaches trying to counter him.

In all honestly he is a great defender.

But wouldn't be fit to carry Matty Scarletts gym bag and the calls saying he is the best defender of all time are embarrassing

Yes. Next question.
