He could’ve done that without the whole faking retirement thing. It’s so dog. Him and dimma. Put on a whole show for what reason??

Gave the Tigers fans their only thing to celebrate for the season.

Didn't the afl put a stop to this after another player pulled this stunt. Surely, Richmond will get compo.

He was out of contract and an unrestricted free agent. Nothing has changed in terms of movement.

 

[Alfonz]

"Dog act" is one of the stupidest phrases ever concocted. Dogs are the best.

That is the Mal Michael rule in the days before FA. If he wasn't a UFA that would apply

But he didn't need to fake a retirement for that. Could have still had a farewell and thanks Dusty. Pretty sure that would have been well received.

Possibly true. The AFL is still shit scared of players announcing they are leaving clubs during the saeson, Neal-Bullen did it this year but I think there was a lot of outside issues pushing that move so for fans it's easier to swallow than Dusty saying I'm out in round 16.

 

[Purpletown]

Dusty is a very small shadow of his former brilliant best and quite introverted from what we read and see. Not likely to make much difference to the GCS on or off the field. Why would he do it is the question?

I don't know how you can't find this hilarious unless you're a Richmond fan, this is what the AFL is about.

Gold Coast get exploited viciously by every other club (especially ours) so as much as I agree it's a dog act I'm also fine with Gold Coast getting some of theirs back on the comp.

A bit harsh on Fremantle I reckon. How have the club exploited the GCS?
A lot of their payers have wanted out from there, I would say that the VFL clubs have dudded them far more than what Fremantle have.

Lachie Weller for Pick 2 was..."Me too" worthy. My point more was that every side has been complicit not just the Victorian ones.

 

[Rob]

If we are signing contracts that long players need to be allowed to be traded to a club without consent in my opinion.

I don't think it should be mandated, but certainly if a contract is over a certain amount of $$$ it should be allowed to be a clause.

Lol, they got compo by pretending he was retiring and selling a shitload more tickets to his last season.

 

[mattis117]

I reckon Port are going to be better now that Dixon is out.

So torn on this one. Wish they could both lose.

 

[mattis117]

Watson is legit the biggest flog in the AFL already, quite an achievement in your first season.

I worry the Hawks may make the granny.

They have a decent record at the SCG and a bit of a bogey side for the Swans.

I hate the dropping of the knees. Ex players with concussion injuries and he purposely runs the risk of head contact just to get a free kick. Stop rewarding this behaviour.

They remove any duty of care owed to them by doing that I believe. Why should the umps protect their heads when they're willing to volunteer head injury for the sake of an advantage

 

[mattis117]

Jeez port have zero composure going forward.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Jeez port have zero composure going forward.

I kinda feel like their small forwards are too quick to get to the feet of the talls half the time as well and actually cut off their own leading forward.

Slow the f*** down Rioli.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Port saving Kenny’s job. Again, lmao

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Gotta admire a fantastic response to the bullshit that was last week from Port. Gotta get the win for it to count though

 

[BettercallSaul]

From Hawks pov the fact that Port’s pressure has been immense but they have only conceded two goals is a positive. If Port’s pressure drops off…..

 

[MadMundy]

Hope Hawthorn smash these campaigners, Port Adelaide home crowds are insufferable.
