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

[tropicaltiger]

Unless dusty resumes full training within days I can’t see him playing , you can’t tell me jogging laps for 10w then full training for a week would warrant a finals berth ,, won’t happen

worth the risk if dusty is keen to play there will be no arguments.

The greatest finals footballer this sport has seen will be unleashed in 2 weeks.

Watch out.

Thanks, the replies made it seem like he'd announced he was exploring trade options for Martin.

Is an odd one, due to the others he tagged in it (trade radio and afl nsw/act)

Could be taken a number of ways

Considering the amount of football he missed, I am concerned about his lack of match fitness when he comes back for week one of finals. Even the GOAT will lack that half second, when he hasn't played in 8-10 weeks. I think should he be completely ok, he plays a quarter or 2 in the VFL for their finals game, in the bye week before the finals.

This is only, only if he is 100% ready to play. Obviously it is quite troubling that being subbed for 'minor' hamstring 'awareness' has kept him out for this long. Hopefully all is good both physically and mentally. We need a fit and firing Dusty to go far in finals

FMD folks must have been on the dark side of the moon not to have heard from the club that Dusty re injured the GOAT hammy when they asked him to step up his training recently. So it isn't the original hamstring awareness from R16 when he was subbed out. So it isn't 8 weeks for "hamstring awareness" and it's not fake, and he isn't going to $ydney.

(This is how Trump fooled millions of idiots for years, by just completely steamrolling the actual facts and deducing, correctly it would seem, that most people only believe what fits their narrative).

 

[YeOldTiger]

But it wasn’t just one, he re injured it when they were ramping the training back up late July

People are acting like it’s one injury the whole time but it’s basically been two separate ones
Clubs been pretty clear on this the whole time

Thank you. Accuracy. Facts. Real news. Yay.

odd that Carr would stir the pot with some of those tags he’s added.

Hopefully it's just celebrating a decade of dominance and suggesting there is more to come.

he is factoring in the vfl game dusty will play in during bye week

 

[Nostradumbass]

Has Carr upgraded his wig?

cant see it but it’s gonna be a tough call either way. Dimma seems to love what JGTI brings to the side, but Sonsie looks like being a better than good player.

Think Dimma will play Graham over Sonsie, has the best pressure game in our midfield when fit. Think opposition will help pick the team, may not need the extra tall back, so Gibcus may go out, though I’d love him to get the experience.

I haven't seen last games stats but it's impressive how often sonsie starts in the centre iirc

Sorry, I wasn't saying that because Sons will stay in I meant Graham would go out...

But if the kid is starting in the Centre Bounce in Round 22 and 23, I can't see him out of the side in week 1...
Whether that's Graham who misses out is unknown, but if Sons was on the edge, I doubt he is starting in the guts and spending a lot of Game time in there is he wasn't in the finals plan.

Trouble is that we don't really have anyone else to cover that mid rotation while Dusty is out, so it's Sonsie for now.

Dusty won't step in of an 8 week hammy and play starting Mid....

So IMO Sonsie stays, and someone playing forward with potential spells in the midfield will...

Nah just washed it in the dishwasher

Dusty would lick his chops at some of the delivery he would get of Sonz

 

[Tony Harrison]

Dusty CBF with H&A anymore.
I heard he told the boys, ‘just make the 8 and I’ll take it from there’

VFL final.

 

[Nostradumbass]

How good would it be if he comes back in the first final and gets a BOG?
