How long until Sam Manure links Dusty declining the Brownlow invite and declining a spot in the retired player motorcde on GF day as a sign he is GC bound?

Would be pretty crazy if they cut to the Suns venue and Martin is sitting there with Dimma watching it.

This shows that Dusty was treated kind of unfairly by opposition supporters & even us as supporters not saying he is the greatest defensive player & it certainly wasn't his strength but people act like he never put on pressure or tackle. What's this say about our other players?

I'm not sure where that "684" figure was pulled from because according to this link, the figure is different - 835

To be fair there were times when he had an opportunity to tackle or sat back so that's where the criticism comes into it which is fair enough but as the stats say, he averaged 2.7 tackles per game, not too bad I guess but probably low compared to other midfielders.

I'm not saying he was a defensive machine but I don't think you can fake 835 tackles, he tackled hard early days & especially & did it at his peak, I think criticisms later on in his career were fair but at the same time maybe a little harsh too.

Tiges are my 2nd club.
Thatās all just a bit of fun. Try to have a sense of humour.
They insinuated that on 7 News tonight.
Canāt see Dusty ever attending the Brownlow in his life unless he has some scrag missus in the future that begs him to go so she can get a few extra followers.

Ah yes. Youāre right.

Hahahah so true
Reading, hearing Dimma spray his shit-speak all over Fox about he & Dusty just "Needin' to see if this could work" - they both bloody make me sick. Clear as day this has been planned for a long time. What a absolute joke of a narrative these 2 have come up with. They must think we are idiots to expect this joke of a scenario.
The sham retirement will be a stain on him & i think he has either miscalculated it, or, genuinely does not give 2 shits about his legacy at the club. I can't think of another decorated player of his stature CHOOSING to not be proud to retire, the greatest "1 Club" player in that teams history - he literally had a spot at the top of the Tiger pyramid waiting for him & he has looks likely to piss it all away to reconnect with Damian "Pot Head Adulter" Hardwick.
What was the point of the bullshit retirement? Was it meant to be a gift to us, a chance for us to say "thank you and goodbye" before you **** off into the sunset with ol mate? The 300th would have been enough of a bye if this was the plan.
If he goes to the Gold Coast, then the retirement was always a bloody sham. We gotta face it - we live in a world where we need to believe David ****ing Schwarz over Dusty & Dimma
