For Those Considering The Knee Jerk Dustin Trade...

[Windigo]

I was gunna do this to, but I've done some digging...

Dustin LOVES Etihad Stadium, where he averages 95/11 games.

Compared to the MCG, 79/38 games.

Dustbin nek 3 opponents.

Collingwood, average of 77/3 games. MCG average of 79, last 3 scores Vs Collingwood: 75, 113, 44

Fremantle, average of 73/5 games, Paterson average of 70, last 3 scores Vs Freo: 68, 66, 62

Geelong, average of 81/2 games, MCG, last 3 scores Vs Cats: 96 & 77



Bulldogs collectively are his fave team to play with scores of 102, 98, 144 & 66 (2nd game)

Dunno if it means anything, but just something to think about this week.  ;)



Compare it to Roo's record:

Essendon, average of 108/12 games, 102 average at Etihad & his last 3 have been 135, 98 & 91 Vs Bombers.

Lucky I got him in last week then!!
And Nroo might be a good pick but got in SJ for Zorko instead

Great work here. Looks like it may backfire to all the people who are trading in Dusty. :P

im trading in dusty and im exepcting only 80-95 scores for the next 3 weeks. Will explode after that has a very good draw, I want to use my other trades on other stuff, so people traing in martin expect 90 at best average for the next 3.

I'm doing it anyway.  If Dimma manages his TOG like he did last week then he could go big again.  Collingwood don't generally tag either, and Dusty got a lot of handball receives last week, so if he plays loose again pencil him in for another 100+. 

Also, his 77 average against the Pies includes a 44 he got in his debut year (which, yes, it counts towards his average, but it's hardly fair to include it).  His last two against the Pies have been 75 and 113 for a 94 average.

this is the year the tigers step up to the big league, i think they can actually win this match. in previous years these were loses. I think they can be competetive in all 3.

[Discombobulated]

Really good points above, one and all.  For mine, I'm simply wary of how he'll go in games where the Tigers aren't beating up on their opposition all over the ground.  Even if he's not tagged this round, is he going to be able to do enough (in the context of a tight game against a strong opponent) to hit an 85/90 this week?  I could definitely be wrong, but I just have a feeling that he's got a good chance of struggling this week.

Happy to proven wrong, but maybe everything aligned perfectly for D-Mart.

Solid record at Etihad, prefers it over MCG & Dogs are his fave team to play. + Tigers dominated them.

We'll see this week if he can back it up.  :)

Stoked with his 144 last week, but expecting about 85 this week.

disapp\oiting effort but only 1 tiger cracked the ton 101--> Cotchin. They got humiliated and theyre ego has come crashing back down to earth. They were never going to make finals. On the upside i didnt waste a trade on Dusty, I started with him  ;D

+1 I started Dusty too so I didn't waste money but was extremely frustrated. I had Cotchin as well and I'm just happy that he continues to make 100.

People who choose to trade in NROO this week obviously made the right choice, I'll be considering bringing him in after byes if he keeps up the effort unless the Hoff maintains which means NROO misses out and Stevie J and Buddy will be the only additions

He got 3 points in the last quarter (-3,+6).which is worrying but saints hardly had it and hardly got It to him. He finished with 93 and considering the poor performance from the saints he did well.

[Windigo]

Yeah, disappointing last QTR but I think he was just fed up with the atrocious kicking, busting his arse out there and then the ball goes flying over his head or down near his ankles.  :P

[powersuperkents]

Still beats Dusty's second half though  :P

[its me lads]

True :(
