Claiming Dusty as a legitimate AFL scalp would be quite something for any opponent.Agree Paul, I dont wish injury on anyone, as you say claim his scalp on its merits and the player(s) concerned will become an overnight hero(s).

Well when the 1 key forward they have is turning 30 this year.....you expect them to say they don't want a 25yo who is arguably better than Jack Riewoldt?
Cmon LP, thats something flyboy would say.

Ok... just smash him into the rock hard turf repeatedly with legitimate tackles.

Hmm, that sort of behaviour is a little broad for my rather dainty tastes - picture this :
- we introduce the new improved version of the 3 amigos (Pickett, Samo, Garlett) : faster, fitter, better skills, better head space. The three of them hunt as a pack. Dusty, ball in hand, tearing away from congestion, puts on the afterburners, but has no idea that his afterburners are made by Kia, and is mowed down by the real deal (Pickett) before he can even think about the don't argue, just like the tackle JP laid on Gunston last year - ball spills free, and the 3 of them share passes, run and carry, nobody gets within cooeee of them, GOAL to Samo.
Rinse and repeat twice with JP and Garlett on the end for a goal apiece.
There you go, 3 Dusty tackles, 3 goals.
Finally an ideology I can embrace.

Surely we can get a "Go Fund Me" page up and about offering $1000 to a charity of the players choice for every bone-crunching tackle laid on Dusty! $2000 for fending Dusty off!

I have never been more unsure about how we might fare in this first game. Unknowns everywhere for our side, and Richmond are no longer perennial chumps.
If the Tiges get up and about early, the place will turn into a cauldron.....
Let's hope that the 70,000+ Yellow and Black fans are so gobsmacked that they make no noise at all.

Without doubt this will be a very tough one for us but the glory is there for the taking! 8)

Can’t see us winning - happy if we can be competitive and emerge unscathed for the Gold Coast in rd 2.

Their JLT form looks ominous, but to quote ol mate Gary Hall Jr, I hope "we smash them like guitars".
