Few trades left and finally completing our teams, we have to deal with good old dusty getting himself in trouble, and he was looking like he was finally finding the form we have been expecting. Add him to the higgins list.
I agree with you both, "dont argue Dusty" now definitely on the BLACK LIST. Has lost his owners $100K in the process after another preseason of being talked up, then has failed miserably on field and then going and being a d*ck off field - THANKS FOR NOTHING MATE!!!!!!!!!
No confirmation on the action that will be taken yet. The worst thing is his breakeven is 33, so he couldve waited another week and there wouldve been better traight swap options
next year part of the analysis of which players to pick should be their likelihood of off field issues (im looking at you too Heater..!!!)
Rumours on twitter Martin might only be out 2 weeks. Still sh*ts me but better than wasting ANOTHER trade I suppose with me having stuff all left.
The cynic in me says that giving Dusty a 2-week suspension at this point in time when they are playing the 2 main hack sides of the competition makes this a suspension of convenience - they could suspend half the team and still win those 2 games in a canter. Unless Richmond have acted on this straight away, then fair enough and just luck of the draw, pardon the pun.
Yep - and I bet the teams that are playing Melbourne coming up are using that game as an example not to be complacent.
I was having a personal crisis deciding who to upgrade to this week between Dusty & Danger. Finally some news the week before I make a trade!!!
Just what I need with Buddy in doubt and Zaha still on my bench. Throw in Goddard and I feel like it's still the bye rounds!
