Couldn't agree more - certainly the most overrated player of the century, Dermie cleaned him up on many occasions (which ultimately led to the famous Rhys-Jones GF match-up )
If memory serves me right Dorotich played on Dermie in 86/87 before the Grand Final...but why let facts get in the way of a good story.

I think you'll find Silvagni was also the culprit in the other 2, and the incident where he slung Dunstall to the ground and broke his collarbone - not that JD actually had the ball at the time, mind you - was particularly disgraceful. It also allowed Lockett to overhaul Dunstall in the race to 1300, and I suspect that this removed Dunstall's motivation to continue for another season.
Absolutely he was there both times.
The knee was in the forward pocket, next to the Behind Post and Sticks was down there as well, it was a marking contest.
The collarbone was Dunstall on a lead, diving forward, spilt the mark and SOS came over the top and landed on him.
I remember thinking at the time he's ended Dunstall's season two years running...although Dunstall made it back in Round 22 for his and Waverley's last ever game.

If Southby, Dench, Langford, Moore were not better FB than Silvani then I will go hee.
I seem to remember David Kernahan having a good record against Dunstall too.
