I understand there is a certain pride to stopping Dusty, but Adelaide were too Dusty centric in the Grand Final and paid for it, when all they needed to do was stop the others from getting their hands on the pill.
Dusty is one of those players. He will have the ball on a string at times, and rack up posessions, and kick goals, but if you can stop him from getting help from his teamates, or being able to help his teamates then he wont hurt you.
I saw teams do this to us when we had Judd at full flight. They setup to stop Murphy, Gibbs, Carrazzo and all the others from having an influence and all of a sudden our ability to hit the scoreboard dried up. Leave Dusty. Let him be he man and face palm everyone in site, but sit on Cotchin at each and every opportunity!!!
We usually do leave Dusty...our players dont want to stand anywhere near him, actually saw Gibbs trying to swap players so he didnt have to man him up.......
