We're bottom 2 or 3 in the comp for forward 50 conversion to scores. It's clearly not working.

Isolate Dusty vs the opposition best defender and allow third man up or have him stream foward vs other mids.

It's not rocket science but our coaches seem to be in love with his pure forward role
Yep and it hasn't worked yet and it will continue to not work.
 
I'd be a lot more worried about the return on investment on Bolton than Dusty any day of the week
Bolton is nothing more than an overpaid down hill skiing show pony.
Dustin Martin owes this club nothing

I agree he has not started the year well and needs to pull his finger out of his a...
But i would hate to be with you in the trenches

You seem to sell out very quickly

he's still clean, still a very good player but doesnt really impact the game. He's missed a fair amount of footy, it'll probably take half a season before he really starts feeling it, until then his body just needs to hold up and get games, probably why they're keeping him fwd permanently. At least thats the way I reason it.

I don't buy that apparently "flying through the pre-season" by the watchful eyes.

He’s playing half forward … a terrible position in a struggling team. I’d tell him to play more midfield. We need his clean hands and great disposal around the ball. He’ll kick more goals playing mid-fwd than perma fwd anyway. Don’t give him the easy option - midfield it up!!

I agree 100% but think due to him missing so much footy and not wanting to breakdown from overload of work, they're keeping him perma fwd until he gets a really solid run of games into him - wouldnt surprise in the slightest if in the 2nd half of the season, he starts playing a lot more midfield

He doesnt look confident and not attempting the things that came naturally to him
just trying to play safe and is not damaging.

Needs to just be told to break free and go mad

Prolly not fit enough and/or match hardened to attempt his natural game...reckon once he's match fit the confidence will grow...
 
He hit the post in what would've been a miracle goal, missed a few... One that normally dribbles through as only Dusty can. Watch his goal in the last. His tackle created the stoppage on the defensive 50. In next passage of play over 100m gut running he breaks 2 tackles, fends off 2 dodges and weaves, crashes through has 3 handballs in the chain and kicks a phenomenal goal. Should be goal of the year as 10x better than Drapers. Won't even get nominated for goal of the round what's the bet! GOAT!!!!!
