Re: Tory Dickson - What will his season be like in 2015
Tory Dickson is a gun. Has worked hard on his fitness and defensive side of his game. Excellent one on one player who only needs a few kicks to really hurt the opposition. Look forward to him playing 200 games for us.[URL="http://journals.worldnomads.com/merantau"]http://journals.worldnomads.com/merantau[/URL]

Re: Tory Dickson - What will his season be like in 2015
I've always said he was a 40-50 goal a season small forward if he could have an injury free seaosn, but to kick 50 while playing extended midfield time exceeded my expectations.
It's ridiculous he wasn't even in the frame for a position in the AA selection when players like Rioli made the squad.[COLOR="#FF0000"][B]Western Bulldogs:[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR="#0000CD"][B]We exist to win premierships[/B][/COLOR]Comment

Re: Tory Dickson - What will his season be like in 2015
Love Dickson - he is our new Paul Hudson, only more flexible and tenacious.
He proves it is not how many possessions you have that is important, it is what you do with them. I also think his defensive work has improved a fair bit this year too.
It's players like him, Dahl, Picken (and the wonderful Crossy) that supporters admire in spades. They may not have the gifts that our top liners have, however through sheer hard work and application they've become A graders.Josie :)

Re: Tory Dickson - What will his season be like in 2015
That's a really good comparison Josie, and not one I'd thought of before. I remember Hudson in 98 and 99 being close to my favourite player. A guy who can win matches by kicking goals with limited opportunities must be my type![COLOR="#FF0000"][B]Western Bulldogs:[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR="#0000CD"][B]We exist to win premierships[/B][/COLOR]Comment

Re: Tory Dickson - What will his season be like in 2015
Yep - always like the "but Cyril does so much more than just kick goals" argument;
a) kicking goals is literally the entire point of football
b) there is zero empirical evidence to justify the claim
c) tearing hamstrings does not count as "so much more"
Try to broach the subject of Dickson and Rioli even being contemporaries with a neutral supporter and they'll look at you like you king hit their mother.- I'm a visionary - Only here to confirm my biases -Comment

Re: Tory Dickson - What will his season be like in 2015
He doesn't have that key attribute to be the media darling small forward.
Even on the weekend, the love for Eddie Betts was off the charts. He kicked 5 goals, totally justified his $600k salary by kicking goals many of the times the ball was kicked to him. Just a brilliant individual performance.
Dickson kicked 5 in a losing team from literally the 5 times we kicked the ball to him. The only comment, Dickson made the most of his opportunities.[COLOR="#FF0000"][B]Western Bulldogs:[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR="#0000CD"][B]We exist to win premierships[/B][/COLOR]Comment

Re: Tory Dickson - What will his season be like in 2015
If others want to continually underrate him, fair enough. I suspect if Dickson brings the same form next season the media will sit up and take more notice.
The thing that has been impressive about Dickson is that he's performed well against top teams:
- 5 goals in an EF
- 4 goals v Pies
- 4 goals v GWS
- 7 goals v Fremantle
- 4 goals v Richmond
Pretty good effort. GWS were on fire when we played them, Collingwood were playing well too. It's not as though he's kicked all his goals v bottom sides.W00F!Comment

He is a real quiet achiever, isn't he! Just gets the job done. I have a lot of time for Tory.Comment

Re: Tory Dickson - What will his season be like in 2015
Looking back over the years in my opinion he is the most accurate kick for goal I have seen. Like others Hudson up there too.Comment

Re: Tory Dickson - What will his season be like in 2015
Well he's the most accurate kick at goal for all players who have had 100 shots at goal or more.
There is one player who has a better career accuracy than him (Michael Murphy) who kicked 63.19 from 82 shots.
