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

Remove this Banner Ad

With the retirement of Tarrant, Riewoldt and Cotchin this year. I think Dusty will be the oldest player on our list. Pretty nuts.

Our age profile will look a lot better. Which is nice.
And George as well. So that's 4 off the list already.

Dusty hits another purple patch​


Dustin Martin played a key role in Richmond's 38-point victory over West Coast at Optus Stadium yesterday.
By Tony Greenberg, Richmond Media -

Dustin Martin is in his best form since Richmond’s 2020 premiership year.
The Tigers superstar has produced good performances right throughout the 2023 season, but he’s gone to another level in his past four games (v Fremantle, Round 13, v St Kilda, Round 14, v Sydney, Round 17 and v West Coast, Round 18), averaging 28.5 disposals, 4.7 marks, 6.7 inside-50s, 4.7 clearances, 8.7 score involvements, 4.0 stoppage clearances and 464.5 metres gained.
In the one match he missed during that time – Round 16 against Brisbane at the Gabba due to illness – Richmond suffered an 81-point loss.

Martin played a key role in the Tigers’ 38-point victory over the Eagles at Optus Stadium yesterday with 23 disposals, nine contested possessions, eight marks, four marks inside 50, six inside-50s, four clearances, two goals, two goal assists, 10 score involvements and 483 metres gained.
He is one of only four players in the competition so far this season to be averaging more than 20 disposals (22.5) and one goal (1.1) per game.
The other players in this elite category are Martin’s Tiger teammate Shai Bolton (22.4 disposals, 1.2 goals), Melbourne’s Christian Petracca and Port Adelaide’s Connor Rozee.


 
Not good news I'm afraid:

"Dustin Martin has been reported for his strike on Alex Witherden. The strike was graded as intentional conduct, low impact and low contact. The AFL has further received a complaint that player Martin groped player Witherden, before attempting to stab him with a set of chopsticks. Due to the nature of the charges, plus the fact that he plays for Richmond and has neck tattoos, the matter has has been sent straight to the Tribunal."

He is multiple goals a game away from being back to his absolute best. His numbers are reflecting his best seasons just without scoreboard damage.
maybe hes saving it for finals

Wins his 4th
But Nick wins the Brownlow.
Which supporter base would you rather be?
brownlows mean the world to me but I beat to a different tune
 
The Pickett fine is even more inexplainable. The MRO is taking this too far and turning it into a basketball event and i believe he’s paid to do this for a media frenzy to get the game more on all media platforms. It’s always going to work as fans from the 17 other clubs eat it all up and then feed it all over social media. We’re no different bc that’s how most of society operates nowadays.
