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

[SunshineBoy]

I don’t get the angst here , he saw contract out and retired, I’ve seen nothing to say he lines up at GC next season , we are hammering a guy that’s retired and Rioli us praised for bailing half way through a contract, and don’t get me started on Bolton

 

[Vassp]

So Trent Cotchin isn’t speaking the truth? Interesting. I would of thought he would know more than all of us. Even over guys like Scoop and Purple.
Facts as we know it. Dusty retired. He has said nothing since. Leaks has come from GC. They are back tracking. It’s even been questioned on the Dusty reaching out as not being true. His best friend has said he doesn’t think it will happen. What have i missed factually?

never did i mention Cotchin, I dont know any facts TBO, dimma said similar things and ended up the GC.
Why wouldnt GC completely debunk the talk, instead it is known they made contact.
so what truths are we refering too ?

Ps IM not saying he is going, im saying to clear the air out of respect for the supporters who backed him from day one and the club.

Richmond teammate drops fresh Dustin Martin revelation

‘He told a group of us.’

Thank you, Dustin Martin

Dustin Martin has informed teammates that his magnificent AFL career has come to an end.

Dunno, has he?

that's old news CB17.

 

[captain blood 17]

Wow.

I don't come to the Tiges board much any more. Here I am after being tagged. I can see why. What an offensive steaming pile.

Finn9 I don't know you from a bar of soap. But as CB has suggested, if you think your smarmy use of a photo of 4 blokes who volunteer their time to produce some content is a clever way to highlight your point, you're way, way off mark.

For starters, it used to be an audio pod, none of us knew what the others looked like. How were we to know at the time? Did we self check that each other sounded white?

And what is wrong with the fact it's 4 white blokes, is that offensive to you?

As someone who, now in their 50s, has spent parts of their working life in Tonga building basic shower and toilet facilities for impoverished communities, time in Indonesia building similar, time constructing orphanages in Nepal, and back home, working with remote indigenous communities in the NT and WA, I am massively offended by your use of the photo.

If you want to make a point, do it by using an image you know the background of you flog.

Has Dusty retired or not?

Your question mate. I answered.

Based on old news yet, but we haven't been updated after recent hysteria

 

[captain blood 17]

Hang on, is that Dustin Martins name there on the AFL page? But he didn’t do the motorcade?

So the club website link was “old news”. Wouldn’t that be the only “official news”?

Imagine TigerImposter in WW2 after it was reported war had been declared. He wouldn't be too upset about the war, but would be furious if it wasn't constantly confirmed and reported every day for years that war had been declared.

TI to Dusty: Why don't you come out publicly and state you are retired, you owe it to the people who have been paying your salary, ie me.

Dusty, incredulous, to TI: Errr, I already did.

Shame Sloane didn’t do the power stance. Why is there a photo of that bum anyway

No as it’s been wrong before? Have you forgotten the Dimma saga already?

Dimma resigned from the club? No where does it say he had retired from coaching.
Sure his comment about not having the energy anymore might've been premarture but nothing there is untrue.

but then GC dropped a bombshell saying that Dusty was fishing to go north

in that case it behooves Dusty to clarify, imo.

weird that it was Cotchin who came out with the unequivocal clarification in the end.

It’s still inaccurate and contradictory. The reality is we all know Dimma was pushed as the Suns deal was done in Round five.
I’m moving on until I see Dusty completely retired and not in a Suns jumper next season.

The Dimma and Dan luncheon was another eye opener in May.

I’m not as gullible as some when it comes to Hardwick as he has way too many convictions.

These are technically wrong based on their wording. The point i was making was just bc it's on the RFC website it doesn't mean it's true and set in concrete as many seem to believe:

Daniel Rioli signs five-year contract extension

Three-time premiership player Daniel Rioli will call Richmond home for at least another five seasons.

www.richmondfc.com.au

Shai Bolton signs five-year contract extension

Richmond has received a significant boost with gun youngster Shai Bolton committing to the Club long-term.

They did sign the contracts. That’s not fake news. Not sure that validates the club website was wrong?

Dimma didn’t retire from coaching though. That’s the difference there. He just got tired of cooking Richmond snags

Guessing the length of the contracts not guaranteeing they are staying at the club until the end of that contract. Honestly no one thinks Mac Andrew will be at the Suns continuously until 2030.

I love the way Carr has managed Dusty, cultivating his mystic . The less Dusty says the smarter and interesting he comes across . I wouldn’t expect much spoken , let alone setting media straight , ever

Read both articles carefully CB17. Rioli's contract article says he will remain a Tiger until the end of 2027. Which contradicts evertything you based your argument on. Shai's also a non truth in it. So just bc the RFC publishes it doesn't mean it's a given.
People change for the good and the worst, so everything as i said earlier is taken as gospel at the time and not current. As i told sante we are all going round in circles until Dusty signs the Form 40 paperwork or signs a new contract with the Suns.

When you sign a contract at the time absolutely you have committed to your employer.
I’m a contracted employee. I’m there till i choose to go elsewhere.
It’s not a non truth to sign at the time to commit. Shai is returning for family reasons. He’s perfectly happy with Richmond.

This is your original argument so it was wrong and now you're agreeing with me that changes are possible. Whether Shai is happy or not supports my argument as what is said on the RFC website one day can change later on. You've done a 180 degrees on this:

So the club website link was “old news”. Wouldn’t that be the only “official news”?

Not at all. Right now on Dusty, the only news is the club news. The only other noise we have is from GC and they are back tracking. There has been zero from Martin, Carr and the club. Martin was even listed yesterday on the AFL site as retired.
At the time of signing, both Rioli and Bolton have played seasons since signing. You're trying to the muddy the waters, but your premise is quite frankly weak. Did you know if a deal can't be reached Bolton is happy to stay on?
And on your points on Hardwick, he never retired from coaching, he resigned from us. He never said he wouldn't coach again.

Rubbish as you stated old news is official news . Which is bull as we don't know what's going on behind closed doors AND OLD NEWS CAN CHANGE. Maybe Tiger71 has the gossip FOR YOU ON THIS THAT I'M UNAWARE OF? And DH did resign bc he was pushed as he had a 1.25mil offer made weeks earlier. Prove me wrong on this . AGAIN THE DH STORY EVEN IF YOU ARE RIGHT IT SUPPORTS THAT CHANGE HAPPENS. You are going around in circles and just wait to see what happens as we will know once relevant paperwork is submitted
