FYI: Just cancelled my daily hyphen subscription.
When receptionist asked why and me giving Dusty article as one reason, she said she'd heard many others had done same....

Dumb campaigners of the highest order.......
They don’t care it’s all about clicks
 
People have to understand that it often takes a player time to get back to where they were. For instance, it took Gary Rohan about 5 or 6 weeks of footy to get back to being as bad as he was before he had the injury.
We were in a no-win situation. Playing an underdone Dusty meant he wasn't going to have the impact a lot of supporters and media were expecting. If we wanted to have him playing if we ended up going deep into the finals, then he had to be played to get that match fitness.

If it was between Dusty and George? Seriously though I think it was the right call, he can still do some things others can't, fit or not.
 
Why are some parts of the media so desperate to see him leave the club? Very very weird.

Last night I watched Dimma say that Dusty is 100% invested in playing on and he can't wait to get back to playing footy, Robbo replied that "We can put it to bed then?", Dimma said "Yes". Now Matthew (wouldn't know if his ass was on fire) Lloyd is asking the same old questions this morning saying Dusty might quit or play for another club and he will never get back to his best. Next time I use the restroom Matthew I will wave goodbye to you as I hit the flush button.

I honestly think some of the media are trying to hound him out of the game or at least Victoria just so they can say their predictions/rumours were correct.

They are just so p****d off because he won’t talk to them or give interviews. Why should he talk to them. Most of them are scum.

What makes Matthew Lloyd think Dusty hasn’t already spoken to Richmond about his future? Just because they haven’t made a big announcement to the press?
They are the only ones going on about it all the time. Make me sick

How the AFL and sports media can talk about mental health and anxiety and then hound Dusty for interviews and shit on him for not wanting to do them is ridiculous. He is clearly a high anxiety type of guy, it's beyond shyness. Not to mention they are majorly negative about him.

I rarely feel sorry for Richmond but you can't help but feel that way when one of their greatest ever players is consistently hounded like this over his career.

V well said. It's a disgrace, you hate to see it regardless of who it is.
 
This all began in the mind of that little hater Sam McClure, he had no proof nothing, but just went with the story anyway and has pushed it weekly, these pathetic excuses for sports reporters know that they still make money even if they are totally wrong, not worth listening to.

Yeah, well said Fev. When I was a young bloke your Blues had the magnificent Bruce Doull playing for them. He was also very reclusive when it came to media attention and the public spotlight, and like Dusty, the Flying Doormat just had a passion for his club and playing footy. Never once in my recollection did the footy media back then hound him for interviews or relentlessly question his commitment to his club and guernsey. ****en parasites.

Poo or wee?
 
A little while ago, Dimma said “he goes with our blessing.” If he didn’t want to take that back straight away, Benny and Balmey certainly did…Since then the media have been in raptures…It was the right thing to play 80% Dusty, because he would’ve been 90 for the next…Maybe he comes back at 100 and helps Taz to his first, and Jack and Cotch to their last…
