The Dead Eye DickSon Counter

[bulldogtragic]

The media is starting to get on this. The record for most consecutive goals without a miss is 29 goals. Held by Lockett & Bruest.

Dead Eye DickSon is on 21 goals straight. Plant him in the goal square I say!

[Go_Dogs]

Yes, only Joe the Goose's for the next game or two, until he breaks the record ;)

[BulldogBelle]

Or as my 8 year old nephew calls him..

One eyed Dick.

[LostDoggy]

Far out we have a lot to enjoy lately.

Was it just me that noticed that he handed one off when he had a semi-tricky shot available to him today?

I reckon he was protecting the streak. Would love to see him break the record.

It happened with Bruest last year. Once he got in the 20's he looked to dish off some difficult chances and tried to make tough chances into certainties and got pinged a bit.

Hopefully he kicks 10 straight over the next 2 weeks and smashes the record before finals!

Dickson has been seriously good for us and deserves every bit of success that comes his way; comes across as a lovely human being when interviewed too.

[GVGjr]

The streak doesn't mean a lot to me. Just hope he keeps the scoreboard ticking over in the big games.

I agree with the sentiment. But It's free press and content for TV shows for this week at least. That's some cream.

[The Doctor]

I admit to being a Dickson doubter but gosh he's a brilliant finisher.

I like to see him deep forward because he is so dangerous around goal. He has great opportunist instinct, can rove from a marking contest and snap a goal, be on the end of a handpass chain and hammer it home, and most importantly nail a set shot.

Thats a pretty good bag of tricks.

Wrapped it up in a nutshell, Doctor.

Full-tricky I reckon. Man on his hammer, running away from goal along the boundary line on his left

[The Bulldogs Bite]

How many has he kicked for the season now? He's been fantastic, huge improver.

Missing one ingredient...work rate. It's what his whole game is based on and where the improvement has come from. I've been a Dickson doubter all his career due to the fact he struggles to get involved enough. I've come around this season and it's all on the back of what he does when he doesn't have the ball. Good on him.

[Ghost Dog]

It's a good advertisement for our footskills. But the moment commentators start lauding a player's kicking ( note yesterday, Bob Murphy ) they will miss! Just keep a 2-3 goal a game average for us, all good!

[LostDoggy]

If he missed to the left and missed out on the streak, but won the game by a point and got us into the top four, or through a prelim, who would care? I hope he gets it as an aside but only as an aside.

[Bulldog Joe]

While it would be nice for him to claim the record, it is really an irrelavant stat.

I would certainly prefer him kicking 5 goals 2 than 2 goals straight any week ...every week.

Agree, get it out of the way, 9.0 this week :D

[bulldogtragic]

1. It's some fun.
2. It generates press and interest which is good for our club.
3. Now every other team knows that you can't ignore him if Boyd, Crameri or Syringer are going ok. I hope it spooks them that 5 touches by Tory is enough for them to lose. Hopefully some fear and/or hurt factor about matching him up.
4. Any record for this club in a positive way is a good thing.
5. It's some fun.
6. Imagine the players and crowd if he breaks it. Worth the price of admission and a big crowd. Or so we can market it.
7. It's some fun.

Let's not build it up too much. Would hate to see him do a Fevola.

That was the best non-bulldogs game i've ever been to. Great to see young Roughy blocking CHB with a few minutes to go.

[Go_Dogs]

Well, I guess it's a thing now. Sportsbet have opened a market on how long the streak goes.

[azabob]

Get this message to Tory please :D

Dont worry, aparently his mum scours all media sites and forums and tells him what people are saying about him. Even when posters say he should be droped!

Hi Tory's mum.

Excellent, that 9.0 message for the next match should get straight through then! ;)

Yes it does. The record is for consecutive goals without a behind. Set shots make no difference.
