You mean like the two home and away games this season where Martin polled 40% of his Coaches votes?
I suggest these two games were the difference between Martin making the AA squad and not making it.

He kicked less goals against west coast and north than Charlie Curnow did. At a higher goal per game average.
Maybe they should have left Charlie out?
Just an absolute galoot of a remark

Curnow got 25 against bottom 2 teams. Surely larkey goes ahead of him too?

I have it on good authority Laura Kane voted for dusty and was pushing to get him on the team. Take your sexist remarks elsewhere

Zach Merrett fairly lucky I would have thought.
Charlie Cameron is in the team
The insecurity of Tigers fans is frankly hilarious. There were more egregious snubs IMO (Marshall, Libba, etc) than Martin. The fear of him having only 4xAA and it affecting his legacy somehow is quite clear. His 2017 year and finals record will always speak for itself, but fact is that outside of 2017-18, Dusty's regular seasons have never been nearly as consistently dominant, relatively speaking of course.
Cheers, missed that
It's 2023.
The All-Australian selectors voted Josh a better player than Martin in 2023:
All-Australian Jumpers:
J. Daicos - 1
D. Martin - 0
The Coaches also agreed Josh was a better player than Martin in 2023.
AFLCA Coaches Votes:
J. Daicos - 53 (polled in 12 separate games)
D. Martin - 47 (polled in 8 separate games)
17 of Martin's votes were awarded in Richmond's last two games - dead rubbers.
The fact of the matter is that if Martin had have played better when it counted, Richmond may very well be playing finals next weekend.
If J. Daicos wasn't as consistently good across the whole season as he has been, Collingwood may very well be fronting up to Brisbane in Brisbane or Port in Adelaide for their Qualifying Final.

But he is one of the best wingman in the league.

This is an awards night for the season of 2023. That is all.

Isaac Quaynor - Harris Andrews - Luke Ryan
Mason Redman - Jacob Weitering - Nick Blakey

Just wow.
I have seen for a while, that a few of you Richmond, Martin loving special ones were a bit different but this is next level conspiracy theory.
This is Donald Trump level.
Be careful of the 5G also, that's how they get you

Couldn’t be more pleased for him. Not going to make him a better key forward is it.
I mean it probably will, under some half-arsed stupid ‘this happened once’ criteria that you will use to make yourself feel better but at the end of the day, Chris Gayle having two test triple centuries doesn’t make him a better batsman than Ricky Ponting and Sachin Tendulkar with 0 between them does it and Martin can pretty much do as he pleases and it’s not going to make him a better key forward.
As for the selfish comment, if Jack Riewoldt was actually still capable of playing decent football you’d have been fine with him going on.
Tom Hawkins was playing football at an AA level for most of this season and 99 per cent of Cats fans want him to play on because we like watching good players play good football for the team we support.
I hope today is a better day for you

Yes he is
Don't get the hate for Greene as captain. Sure, he can be a grub. But no one can discount his profound influence on the game. Leigh Matthews is revered but was an absolute grub with his track record, the latter though hasn't in any way diminished his status in the game.

This attempt at sarcastic cynicism would be far funnier if the majority of players with a shedload of AA honours had not also performed outstandingly in finals throughout their careers as well, a fact you seem oddly unable to grasp.

Sure, that might be right about Steward (whoever he is), but what about Stewart?
So now we care about position in All Australian? Seems like the first year.
