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

[harimal12]

Thinking about it.What a pathetic club gold coast is, first the AFL try Gary Ablett to boost memberships up there did not really work so who is the goat at the moment? Dusty so lets get him up here to boost the club.He is a Richmond champion same as Gary Ablett is a Geelong champion they never were or ever will be gold coast champions.
Just two champions at the end of their careers getting a nice little payback for helping out a club that has nothing.

Anyone that was at the MCG to see our champion off would be feeling a little sad for Dusty..

just used my dusty 300 guernsey to clean my barbeque that hasnt been washed since 1998

Just took him down off the man cave room wall

Kind of makes me feel like an idiot now getting wrapped up in his ‘retirement’. There is no way that this is a change of heart, this would have been the play all along.

Should have just been honest with us.

 

[Daka]

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

Not saying you are wrong, but imo this has been premeditated by Ralph Carr. no doubt in my mind.
It was them who went to the Suns apparently. also, despite him not being worth much he still might have triggered us compensation even if it was like a pick in the 40s. he is still rumored to be commanding a salary of 600-700k 2x.

 

[Tiger V]

As I said, who cares. It is what it is. Happens all the time - players changing clubs. It's not something new. It's part of the AFL landscape.

He's a champion of the club and that's all there is to it.

it's not the fact that he is going to another club it's the way it was done.

Move to the GC, fatten the super, bang some bimbos, get a tan. Sounds good to me.

He still would if he goes for more than 2 years

Possibly but can’t really get dirty at Carr either
He is ultimately a representative of Dusty himself and acting accordingly to what Dusty wants

If we want to blame anyone, not that I do at all but it’s all ultimately down to Dustin and what he wants

 

[archer the tiger]

If anyone wants to bad mouth Dustin Martin , I will fight you.

I love Dusty, bloody legend! But I’ll fight you anyway I need to release some anger!

 

[Coach_Required]

As an aside the club better set up a Judas table at the Jack Dyer medal night

Baker, Rioli, Bolton and Dusty all on the table together with no one else

They get all meals served last, don’t get the meal they ordered, also forced to drink warm cans of beer

 

[chriso11]

If Dusty and Dan Rioli want to throw themselves into the Suns quicksand with Dimma, then good for them.

Dusty will only be fit enough to play 5 games. It would make sense if the Suns were on the cusp of a premiership and it was a veteran signing a La Stewart Dew to hawthorn to give them an edge in finals. But this year the suns could barely win a game away from home, they are so far off it and 1 year of Dusty isn’t going to change anything

 

[Groupie_]

Just took him down off the man cave room wall

now to get the arse cheek tat lasered off

 

[chriso11]

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

 

[smasha]

Dimma needs the old toys.

u cant move the Richmond Football Club to the gold coast

they tried once and failed

 

[Tanski]

Would be a massive mistake by him. It 100% ruins his legacy.
Actually sounds likely, Suns have since confirmed they are in talks, not just the journos reading into him being on the Goldie

 

[damicky]

Disappointing if true

if we only get pick 43, I dont want it

 

[smasha]

I understand your point of view but I think you're missing the point of why people are pissed off and rightfully so, it's not the fact he wants a change, it's the bullshit retirement talk. And all the shit that comes with it, just be up front with the club and then the fans, even the staunchest dusty sycophant would have a hard time to justify some of the things he's done this year. This is the straw that will break a lot of backs.

Deception and hypocrisy are bitter pills to swallow.

I disagree that they owe us nothing line too. .. With us fans there is no ****ing club or league or competition. They actually owe us a lot. Has dusty paid his debt? Absolutely, but if he follows through with this plan, he's gone about it poorly and has been ill advised.

Wouldn't it be nice if the club said we owe the fans alot instead of always being the other way round?
Owell.

now to get the arse cheek tat lasered off

Yes, got a Dusty tat on a private part.

 

[db26]

He owns nothing , body is gone. I'll say it again there was something not right with Dusty and the club. His conduct wasn't great this season looked unfit , travelling while injured etc now this. For me didn't look like he buy in. Retirement was a load of bs. Upsetting that media says he met sun's mid year and reached out to them crap all preplanned.

 

[smasha]

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.

 

[Sol23]

I knew this was on the cards. Got laughed at by some of you pricks.
