How bloody good was this first goal in the 2020 GF by Dusty
The ****ing ball control ffs, absolutely off its ****
The ****ing ball control ffs, absolutely off its ****
what is amazing about the first goal is that Dusty didn't even have full control of the ball until the last split second, he still managed to get it to land on his boot perfectly, the level of difficulty JUST on the drop of the footy is off the charts. He felt that goal, no other way to explain it...like Hendrix on guitar.

The 3rd major, Lambo says Dusty in heavy traffic 60m out, I could handball backward to a player under zero pressure....but I'll just give it to Dusty and sit back and watch the show. Dusty doesn't even bother trying to evade O'Connor, just walks through his attempted tackle. Des O'Connor would have been as effective trying to stop Dusty, who says I'll just ease this onto the boot from 55m in such a way that it will gain pace off the surface and roll through. Only reason the goal ump had to move was to stop the ball from hitting him in the solar plexus. Football should not be this easy for someone in a Grand Final. It makes zero sense.

Des O'connor meets the pussies age demographic for a player.

Star Tiger in career-best shape, forward's recovery on track
Dustin Martin is smashing personal bests in the gym in an ominous sign ahead of the 2024 season
Richmond star Dustin Martin is setting personal records in the gym and inspiring his Tigers teammates in his 15th pre-season.
The triple Norm Smith medallist is determined to prove to new Richmond coach Adem Yze he remains one of the League's elite players.
Yze is just the second full-time coach Martin has had after being led by Damien Hardwick in his debut season in 2010 until the middle of this year.
Martin, who is entering the final year of his seven-season contract, suffered a heavy knock during Richmond's training camp in Gippsland but was later cleared of concussion.
Tigers defender Jayden Short insisted Martin had returned from the off-season break in "unbelievable" shape in an ominous sign for the rest of the competition.
“When you get a new coach, everyone's got to impress again," Short said at Punt Rd on Tuesday.
"It's been good for our young boys, they get to impress a new coach and certainly us older boys as well.
"The way Dustin showed up was amazing.
"He's coming into his 15th year of AFL and he's setting PBs (personal records) in the gym and his running's certainly always improving as well.
"He's a great role model for everyone at this football club and I'm just lucky that I get to play alongside him and get to watch him go about his business every day.
"It makes us all want to get better when you see one of the best players in the competition always trying to get better.
"It's hard not to want to better yourself, he's an awesome footballer, but an even better person so we're very lucky."
Key forward Tom Lynch is slowly working his way back into training, taking part in modified drills during a session in front of the Punt Rd faithful on Tuesday night.
Lynch was ruled out for the remainder of the 2023 season after injuring his foot against the Western Bulldogs in round four.
“It's been a long time for Tom and for anyone who has spent a long time in rehab it's pretty painful," Short said.
"But his attitude throughout the whole time has been second to none.
"Just rocking up every day with a smile, he's been amazing.
"It's good to see him back running and I'm looking forward to being able to kick it to him again."

God I love a Dusty contract year.
He's a smart bloke, Ralph Carr would have worded him up he can probably snag another 100-200k a year on his next deal if he has an AA level season.

Especially since we can give it to scats fans about GAJ doing the opposite
Damn I’d be filthy if Dusty did that.
The rest of his chats with Ralph might be behind glass from now on I’d say.

Good call. 6 years and 3 premierships, 3 Normies later. I tell you what, if we do the unfathomable next year and the GOAT gets a 4th Normie the Tiger Army will be demanding a bronze statue to be erected outside Gate 4 of course.

Unfathomable??
Slow start with a new coach and long term injured players coming back. 2nd half of the season hit our straps. Dusty starts out very good and improves, then explodes around finals.
If the standard is anything like 2023 it's not a crazy dream.

Mate, you got me drooling and dreaming at the thought if it happens.

Mate, you got me drooling and dreaming at the thought if it happens.
1) Our backline is very good, first rate
2) Our midfield is top notch, on paper. If Ooze can make it work then the whole team goes up a couple of notches.
3) With a fit Lynch our forward line is very good. Without him, hmmmm. Maybe good if we can structure it well and the young guys step up.
Wait til about 10 rounds in and let's see how we are going. I expect the 2nd half of the season to be much better than the first 1/2.
Plus of course if the 2023 Pies can win flag then any well functioning and tough team can win it. nothing against them, but they are the weakest premiers for years

Should we sign Dusty to a five year deal?
That gives us time for the youngsters and new recruits to catch up
