    Tory Dickson - 100 Games

    It has taken awhile but Dicko due to reach his 100th game this Friday night.

    Great record to date with 161 goals at an accuracy of 74.9%. Hopefully he has a few more goals in him yet

    Given he was a 'Macca' recruit he wasn't necessarily warmly welcomed into the Kennel by some of the fans but I think he was a good mature aged recruit for us and he eventually won over some of the doubters. His goal kicking accuracy along with some forward pressure he applies have been hallmarks of the way he goes about his footy.

    As BAD says, it's taken a bit longer than most but it's been a mighty effort for him to get to the 100 games milestone.

    Well done TD.

    Thanks for posting this BAD

    Four goals in a prelim should afford him a fair bit of love from supporters.

    Kudos, Tinder.

    His accuracy in grannie was crucial too. And if his son ends up being a decent player we get first dibs!!

    Congrats Tory.

    Hope you put in a blinder on Friday night. (I know he was caught HTB last Sunday but I hope Bevo sticks with him to see if it was an aberration or signs of decline, also his pressure acts were I think reasonable considering most of rest of team efforts).

    And the three he kicked the week after were handy too.

    And absolute success story of perseverance, dedication and professionalism. Etched his own name in Bulldogs folklore for ever.

    Great achievement. Not as great as his competition best goal kicking accuracy. Nah, both great achievements.

    Congratulations Tory - wrote himself into the Bulldog folklore

    Was superb in 2015 & 2016 - has shown signs this year and since hes been on the list the forward line has been better for having him in it

    Great pick up. Knows where the sticks are and kicks it straight (most of the time).

    Congrats Dicko!!

    Just caught unaware, he wasn't sprinting or trying to evade when he got run down
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    He's been an excellent contributor for our club, I'm glad he'll get his name on the locker - it would have been a shame to see him miss out as such an integral part of our premiership.

    His preliminary final was simply outstanding, he rose to the occasion and made minced meat out of a crowding defence and Heath Shaw. His GF was excellent too.

    He'll get his mojo back if he can stay on the park this year. He is showing the signs of a player who knows what he used to be able to do, but just needs to prove to himself he can do it again for a year or so more.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    Watching the video I thought he miss judged it. I thought he looked at the player and decided to grab a couple of metres and got out of the blocks to slow.
    In hindsight he should have gone back and taken a set shot. I wonder after OP and hamstrings he hasn't got the length in his kick anymore.

    I absolutely loved his one handed mark against Shaw, moments after Shaw yelled at his defensive teammates. It was a beautiful thing.
