Player Watch #4: Dustin Martin

[Phar Ace]

Should be pretty steeled after 30+ years of it. Truthfully, if we cant make a decent fist of it in the finals then every bit of crap that comes our way is well deserved.

Not sure we are mentally weak, but geez we are overrated by our own - 4th really glamourizes us. Doesn't mean I don't want the success, but I'm wary about how good we'll be in the heat of finals with the list we have. Watch the Dogs v Dons for a game that throws down the challenge for finals contender. Skills, polish and goals - and we have so little of it, and when we do, it's like a shooting star. Daniher is busting to kick 10 goals. Dusty kicking to Daniher would assure him of it. We so need a another nearly as good as Jack.

 

[THE THIN MAN]

Knowing our luck Dusty would be reported when some oppo player hits the armchair knocking himself out.

Dusty gets reported for bring the game into disrepute by being slapped by the masseur in public!

Essendon only has 1 single focal point in the forwards hence Joe Daniher kicks a lot of goals.

On ya Dusty

Apologies to those who may have raised this earlier but imagine if Danger did win but was ineligible and then, as last years winner, had to present the medal to Dusty.

Delicious!

Not sure that that is completely true. I get the impression that most are just enjoying the unexpected ride in 2017.
Backline and midfield are up there.
Personally, I agree that there is a massive big hole in our forward half.
But you never know...

 

[SportsCentre]

Dusty into $1.18 to win the medal and $1.01 to place.
I have never seen that before.

Give me a 2017 ride over 2016 anyday!

Yet we keep winning.

I'll take the win over skill, polish and goals every day of the week.

33 goals to Hooker not good enough for you then?

Lol yes it was a good match but it was far from finals style footy. Hardly any contests at all, it was like a bball game.

The skills were shit at times also. Dons shat the bed late.

LOL give me a spell, your surely not talking about the lowest tackling game of the year, easy to look good and reek of polish when no one is touching you.

 

[shaky]

only thing that makes me nervous is dusty needs one more fineable offence to get rubbed out bullshit. Walking a real tight-rope.

If Danger doesn't contest and get off you can see against Geelong in a couple of weeks them trying to get him into a wrestle and get him fined!!!!!

It is enjoyable, but when the subject turns to just simply winning a final let alone a premiership, and as good as it is to have a few of premo's like Dusty, Cotch and Rance, we have had a blessed run which is why I say 4th glamourizes us a bit. But I'll keep it on Dusty here. If his groins holds up he gives us a huge shot of hope.

Can't agree. 4th is well deserved on the basis of how we have played this season in combination with how even the competition is.

Heaven help us if we have to play a final against either at Etihad is what I'm saying. Back to Dusty, apologies for the digression.

 

[BILC]

An obscenely good Brownlow Medalist.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Congrats fella.

 

[Burgers45]

Hi guys, are you gonna achieve the double this year, Brownlow and Flag? I'm rooting for you guys this year. Sick of the Hawthorns, Sydneys, Geelongs etc.

 

[Deanos]

Too early to be congratulating, he is only a fine away from being ineligible.

 

[Gosha]

Hi guys, are you gonna achieve the double this year, Flag and Brownlow?

Dusty triple.

Brownlow. Norm Smith. Flag.

 

[captain blood 17]

Hi guys, are you gonna achieve the double this year, Flag and Brownlow?

Lol, **** that, we're gonna threepeat it three years straight. That's what you wanna hear right?
