Eddie and Jimmy were discussing his statue and I think they actually nailed what it should be. It should be at normal height of Dusty doing a "Don't Argue" and you can stand there for a photo where it looks like he is giving you the stiff arm.
Eddie also made a good point that because it is a Bronze statue and the hand will be touched so much it would turn gold over time.

Or dropped his knees into Ken Hunter’s back when he was on the ground. Could’ve killed the poor bastard.
Beautiful article!

The Zorko has a better half
who, I guess, is much loved. CFL Considered the half as part of the the whole. Not unreasonable.

Yeah, in typical Matthews style; a king hit to an unsuspecting opponent.

Dusty's greatest hits: We rank all 16 of his finals appearances
Nathan Schmook had the unenviable task of ranking Dustin Martin's finals games ahead of the Tiger superstar's 300th match. Do you agree?

Yeah, during the week, that doco on Wednesday gave me the feeling that it was a goodbye doco as much as a celebration. Dusty's behaviour after the game and now the social media posts make me think that Dusty is done.
What are they saying?
Well done to the great man, but for a game which was meant to be a celebration, it was hard to ignore the sadness, disappointment and emotion in his tone in the after-game onfield interview. Something felt very off. I think he was absolutely gutted with the performance of some of the boys who represented the club today. He has had a career of fairytales, but today you wouldn't have known it.
This week i think he truly realised what this club means to him. And i think today he truly found out how much trouble we are in. Was a very weird vibe

100% agree at the game you got a sense that it was his farewell game.
It had that vibe but he seemed to take some real ownership of seeing you in 2 weeks.
I think today shocked him tbh. Just how bad and just how ****ed we are. As he said, he was overwhelmed by the love of us supporters during the week & I actually think it has triggered something pretty deep in him on what this club actually means to him. Without going to deep into his life pre Richmond, how was "love" expressed to him? And this week, how different was that "love" presented to him from the supporters etc?
I have been one to be pretty harsh on Dusty over the past few years over various things, but my biggest has been a sense that his level of commitment & ownership is not the same as it once was. That he seemed to be "going through the motions" until the end of his contract, where he likely will head to GC for another adventure.
Today, mostly via the post game presser, was the complete opposite of that.
When Rance retired, i felt his presser was an act of "going through the motions" & talking a lot of bullshit to cover up true reasons. It felt fake & forced. Dustys post game stuff was not that. It was raw. Maybe the only time i've seen Dusty truly vulnerable and maybe even afraid.
I wouldn't be surprised if the future that today clearly showed us of where this club is heading might have paniced him in to wanting to hang around to drag us out of it. But i'm not sure even he can.
He was horrible today unfortunately, probably his worst of the season.
