You are correct. We still lost.

This. You can slow him down at the stoppage, but he's a difficult combination of strength, height and speed to have a player who can sit on him.
Chasing after him leaves the defensive player exhausted anyway, if he tries to split the zone with his run then you just have the next guy up the field close him. Our shape was awful on the day because we didn't have enough legs and discipline in our defensive half. Smedts basically unwound our shape.
Maybe because Dusty has tatts !!
More importantly - who would win in a fight between Gazza's old man and Dusty's old man. I'd back the legendary No. 5 !!

I think thats crap. Yes Martin is a bull. But making life hard for a match winner like that should never to overlooked. Ed is tough enough to negate him.
If we can stop Ablett we can stop Dusty. Gaz has spent the last 10 years destroying tags.

Treat me like a Royal
I thought you were a bit harsh on Boeckhorst early in the season, but you where dead right. Did not show any intensity at all.
I hope everyone else gets on board as well

Negate - sure. But there's negating/tagging and then there's going above and beyond with some who you're confident you can throw off their game mentally.
We went above and beyond a fortnight ago with GAJ. We also went above and beyond last year against Motlop.
I don't see going above and beyond vs Dusty as being advantageous because, as I said, I reckon he's the type who would thrive on it rather than let it affect him.
Cotchin is another story entirely. Strikes me as a lot weaker mentally than Dusty.

We might have been a bit stiff. Think that the game plan was to curb Houli with Lamb and Dusty with Ed. We all know what happened with Lamb and I suspect that Ed picked up an injury early which may have influenced his running ability. Doesn't mean that others couldn't have stepped up and their was clearly nowhere near as much solidarity as there had been in previous weeks.
Richmond have lucked on to the very small forward line model simply because they have no taller options. Hurts us because we it leaves us a bit tall there. Will hurt them if Nankervis gets hurt and probably wont stand up in finals.

Probably won't stand up in finals?
Mate, we've been there and done that. It doesn't stand up in finals.
It didn't work when we had Eddie, Garlett and Yarran. What chance do you give it working with Castagna, Butler, Rioli and Bolton?

Don't rate them any chance without a lot of luck however there are some subtle differences from our group back then. Betts, Yarran and Jeffy were more dynamic but their blokes are maybe a bit more disciplined and better at holding the ball in. Jack is better than any key forward we had then (Setanta average and Waite all hit and miss) and Dusty is worth a few goals to them.Probably won't stand up in finals?

We were a kick off a prelim final the year they were all up and running having lost Gibbs and Kreuzer in the first final. Reckon we would have been a huge chance against Geelong in the prelim as well. No point crying over spilt milk and as I said I don't rate them but I have had a gutful of losing to them.
Walid Ali goes in to bat for Houli, if I was on the tribunal panel that'll be an extra 2 weeks automatically.

Worked in the 2013 Elimination Final.
Basher Hooligan and Malcolm Turnbuckle!
Do what the Russian KGB guy did in London! Tiny pellet of Polonium inserted in screw-in stud (can't take a brolly out onto the field unfortunately!) and at first stoppage player brushes sole of boot against Dusty's calf and triggers subdermal injection of Polonium. I know it's a bit severe but sometimes strong measures are required - it's called leadership!
