Re: Tory Dickson - What will his season be like in 2015

Yep Plugger kicked 29 straight and has the record still. Chris Grant kicked 16.0 to finish the 2005 season with 26.5 (which is I think the 6th most accurate season ever for players having 30 shots or more - Richo has the record with 27.3 one season before getting injured.)

I don't want to hear KB complaining about current day players missing shots. KB kicked 778.777 in his career and has the most behinds in history!! (Leigh Matthews second with 915.722). KB kicked 1 goal 8 behinds in a game, Lethal kicked 0.7 one day (as did our own Georgie Bisset.

You obviously don't know what it's like to be a Baby Boomer with a high profile. It's their job to make outlandish comments with flagrant disregard for truth and perspective, especially if provided with an opportunity stick it to younger generations.

I've just had a squizz at Tory Dickson's highlight package on the club website. He has wonderful balance and recovery. That goal he snapped after having his legs taken out at top speed, bouncing straight up and kicking truly was out of the top draw. There are not many players in the AFL who could do that.

Theo Walcott fell over and bounced straight up to score a goal a couple of years ago in a Premier League match against Chelsea or Tottenham. Different sport, similiar recoveries to score.

He fell down, rolled around on the ground holding his face, got carried off on a stretcher, made a miraculous recovery on the sidelines, ran back onto the ground, and then scored in the same play? That is impressive!!

Spurs. Been a while since you've scored against us

Back to the topic. Don't want to be accused of hijacking.

Dickson gets quite a few of his goals with his left foot.

Is Tory the new Gia?

Re: Tory Dickson - What will his season be like in 2015

46.9 from set shots over 3 years. Better than Lockett.

Yep, but he starts on the ground not as the sub.

Double standards.

Probably a little better on the defensive and pressure side of the game when on, but he's no way near as comfortable in traffic and doesn't use the ball around the ground as well as Gia did.

Gia could have easily been a 25-30 touch a game inside/outside scoring mid if we recruited forwards properly in the early 00's.

I really prefer Tory close to goals. When he marks the ball up the ground time and time again he can't make a decision. He looks around, he hesitates and then the umpire calls play on and he just doesn't know what to do. Happened again yesterday and many times against GC and a few other games. He is super dangerous around goals so needs to be in that F50.

12 or 18 months ago many thought his lack of versatility hurt him big time now the calls are for him to become more of a specialist forward. I think we are using him the right way and where you see a player that can't make a decision I see it more that he is being patient and waiting for the right option.

Agree, he is our best one on one forward. Would love for us to open the F50 for him more often, like we did against freo.
