    Agree, many players simply bang it long and make it someone else's problem. Funnily enough in that situation the fans blame other players not giving him and option to kick to, but when a player waits and looks for a proper option he gets blamed for being indecisive.

        Crameri is another who does his best work when playing forward and pushing up and down the ground trying to break open the defensive zone, he's really struggled when forced to play as a genuine mid. You could argue we've been hampering Dickson and Crameri this year but it's pretty hard to argue with the team's results.

            He is better one on one than Stringer?

                Yes. Cause when he marks the ball, he completes his work by hitting the scoreboard. Now I don't have the stats to back this up but in marking contest my perception is Dicko marks the ball more than Jake in one on one situations. Jake does his best stuff when the ball hits the ground and is more of a 1 on 3 type of player

                            Can't believe I thought he'd struggle to get a game and might end up on the trade table.

                                    I like the look of composure he has on his face after he goals. It mirrors the composure of his kicking.

                                        I remember the day he left his left foot at home, he barely registered a stat.
                                        TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

                                            Congratulations to Tory on an amazing season.
                                            Labeled a one trick pony by many on here for some time. But does that trick well - mark.....kick goal.
                                            Could not have asked anything more from him.

                                            Steal of 2012. Cheers Bombers!
                                            With Boyd, Crameri and Stringer, thought he might struggle to get a game. 40 goals in a season with such accuracy at AFL level is a very, very good return.

                                                    I'd like to sincerely apologise to Tory and his fans, at the start of this year I thought he was a depth player at best, but he is a genuine, real McCoy, bona fide, quality small forward. Anyone who kicks over 40 goals a year has had a great season, 50 is pretty damn spesh!

                                                    Whilst everyone is cracking a woody over Eddie betts, Dickson is just as good. And what's better is the opposition don't put anything into him.

                                                    His defensive pressure acts are great and he is super clinical kicking for goal.

                                                    Thanks for the year Tory, looking forward to many more.

                                                        There are a few contenders for the AA small forward and the one they have missed is Tory. Kicked 45 goals in the home and Away season.

                                                        Well done to a great season. Just goes to show if you work hard enough, get super fit anything can happen.

                                                            Kicking 50 goals, having spent so much time on a wing, is quite outstanding.
                                                            Also being a key component of our team defence, Tory has become a very important member of our senior team.
