Player Watch #4 Dustin Martin GOAT and King of Punt Rd - OFFICIALLY RETIRED

[Tiger V]

Reckon we win our next flag before the suns win their first

if there is such a thing as a footy god, that will happen

 

[smasha]

A fresh start for the club.
We will have draft picks coming out of our ear holes.
The next chapter begins of this fair club who never cheats.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

I couldn't GAF to be honest.
However, that was probably why Dusty did virtually no media at the time of the alleged "farewell".
Barely a two-minute interview with Jack Riewoldt on the field, and that was it.
It was all probably pre-planned, so he would avoid scrutiny at a sit-down press conference, when the #### would hit the fan.

 

[Muddiemoose]

It will be a pick we won't use. but maybe it could help us trade up idk.

I mentioned it before but it’s the salary that helps us the most
Gold Coast are already trying to dump a player because they can’t afford him so will need some assistance to afford both Rioli and Dusty

Ask Delidio

Gonna throw myself into a dark scented room with 70's prog playing.

Wonder if the CFL boy's club had a say in this?

We move on with our new toys.

Dimma broke his.

cfl prob said to benny gale we will use a bit of lube on rfc if you let dusty go to gold campaigners

 

[barracoutta]

If true - my worry is why couldn't he play under our current coach. Further more why the mass exodus we are witnessing? is it coach? is it admin? is it the playing group? do we have some w***ers within the ranks?

it cant be purely because we are not travelling well on the field can it?

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

They are assets, pure and simple.

Seemingly he isn’t worth anything. Doesn’t sound like an asset.

 

[Underarm]

So Un-Retire and seek a trade?

Gold Coast got that bottomless pot of $$$

If Dusty really loved us as much as he says, he'd force a trade for a half decent pick.

Mate we had a few bad apples in our senior group this season pulling the opposite way. For me buy in or pack your bags. One word Broad.

 

[AstuteTiger]

This stinks to high heaven!!

I won't hate him but this will leave a sour taste.

Dusty retired 3 weeks ago, full of emotions we all felt it.
He did a lap of honour, we cheered him off. He did a lovely speech.

Dimma up to his old dirty tricks!!!
As if this wasn't planned.

 

[Al Heimer]

I'll be absolutely gutted if Dusty goes up and plays for that crappola club BUT i won't hang any shit on our greatest player who almost singlehandedly won us three Premierships. 3 Flags i thought i'd never see in what's left of my Richmond supporting life.
THANKS AGAIN DUSTY.

I'm more annoyed at Dimma picking at the Tiger carcass. Going after key people in our footy department.

He can't get enough of the stink of our rotting corpse. Rolling deliriously in it like an old sheepdog.

Giving these a go tonight.

 

[beema limapep]

Might be me trying to be overly optimistic but he may of simply changed his mind re his retirement people can be funny creatures and tend to change their mind on a lot of things all the time

Not everything needs to be a pre meditated move

Do you still believe the reason Hardwick left was burn out too?

 

[SouthernStripes]

Ironically, if he does go up there is pretty similar to how Dimma ended his tenure at the tigers. Whatevs though - if you need the money Dusty and think you have footy left in you go and do it - but going from the mighty tigers playing in front of packed MCG to soulless Gold Coast playing in front of tumbleweeds and a few cooked GC locals would be like dumping Claudia Schiffer to start banging Rosie O’Donnell

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Not surprised, if you saw Gale's presser, he is retired at this stage...

It will prove Dusty was never loyal if he goes to the Suns, I'll reserved judgement until it happens.
The fact the Suns are going after him speaks of desperation to me anyway, it's a bad move.

Never Loyal?
Fmd some people have short memories

 

[smasha]

Well it's official,Dimma not a very good coach with the new toys this year and a free kick eat all you like buffet from the CFL plus opening and closing games organised by the boy's club to create a faux fake rivalry and when that went belly up,a trade in back to the old toys.

 

[Cleansweep17]

If Dusty really loved us as much as he says, he'd force a trade for a half decent pick.

This is what I don’t get, surely he’d know that. Unless he really changed his mind in 3 weeks.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Do you still believe the reason Hardwick left was burn out too?

At this point I don’t think it matters

 

[Grechy]

Disappointing that he won't finish a one club player but it's time to move on.

 

[beema limapep]

Loyalty is like trust. Once you break it, its gone.

It's not a spectrum.

gold coast are farrken obsessed with our club
