I remember that Cotchin's thread used to say something like '#9 Trent Cotchin is an obscenely good triple Premiership captain etc'. Would we be able to amend this thread title in a similar way, please?

Maybe something like #4 Dustin Martin is the GOAT and King of Punt Rd? Or #4 Dustin Martin is the only triple Norm Smith Medallist? Or #4 Dustin Martin is a Richmond Immortal?

I just think that a legendary player deserves an exceptional thread title.

The rules do prevent that.

However at present there is no existing rule that requires numpties in the media to know these rules.

I doubt there is a rule around a "retired player" whose contract is due to expire at the end of the season deciding to come back, after the date of his last contract expiring, to play again. That would go against several australian employment laws.

Perhaps there are rules about a player doing it "mid-contract", but Dusty is 2 weeks away from his contract ending, so i think that is not true

And if that is a rule for players - then why the F does it not apply to coaches and staff too? This is exactly how Dimma broke contract to take on the Gold Coast job. Disgusting double standards

I dont think Dusty would do what DS is suggesting at all - but if he did, it would actually be worse than just playing out the season and then moving there anyway. He would basically be playing the same strategy Dimma did to us once he decided to f-off

  • 69 times he had 20+ disposals and 2+ goals. That is 10 times more than any other player over the last 15 years. Gary Ablett is next on 59 and Patrick Dangerfield on 58. That’s a significant gap with two walk-up Hall of Famers.
  • The broken tackle stat started the year Dusty came into the competition. He’s had 377 broken tackles over a 15-year campaign. The next most is Jack Viney on 213. That’s 164 more than any other player.
  • He’s won 49 per cent of one on one contests. The next highest player is 42 per cent being Nat Fyfe, then Dangerfield at 41. It is outrageous how much better a one on one player he has been over a 15-year career. The average is 25 per cent.
  • Then you look at what he does when he’s been a target inside forward 50. When Richmond have gone to him, they’ve scored a goal 30 per cent of the time. No other player has done that in 15 years. He’s been the best forward 50 target in 15 years. The average is around about 18 per cent.
  • Our AFL Player Ratings ironically started the year Dusty came in. He was the No.1 rated player on the ground for five consecutive matches from the 2020 finals series into 2021. Only Dangerfield has done that for five consecutive matches.
  • His 2017 Grand Final is the second highest rated Grand Final of all-time. Luke Shuey’s 2018 Grand Final is miles ahead of anyone else, Dusty comes in at No.2. The rating was 30. If you get a 15 rated game, that’s an All-Australian type game. If you get a 20, it’s wow. If you get a 30 then you just go back and watch that performance over and over and over.
  • His 2020 Grand Final comes up as the sixth best Grand Final. Keep in mind that is with shortened quarters. If you extrapolate that out to a full game then it comes out as the second best Grand Final as a 32 rated game.
  • His 2019 Grand Final comes out as the 12th best Grand Final.
  • Overall he has been the No.1 rated player on the ground six times from 16 finals. No other player has done that.

Dusty’s Finals Ratings​

  • His ratings in the 12 finals between 2017 and 2020 where Dusty was in his prime. He had one poor final out of 12 and that was the night when he couldn’t walk against Collingwood in the 2018 Prelim where they admitted afterwards that he probably shouldn’t have played.
  • His Qualifying Final in 2017 he was 2nd highest. Prelim in 2017 against GWS he was 6th. Grand Final in 2017 he was No.1.
  • 2018 Qualifying Final he was 1. 2018 Prelim, throw that in the bin.
  • 2019 Qualifying Final he kicked six goals against Brisbane, 3rd highest player. 2019 Prelim against Geelong he was 11th. Grand Final day he was No.1.
  • 2020 Qualifying Final against Brisbane, they lost, he was 9th. This is the best - they’re in a bit of trouble, they’ve lost their first final, he wakes up and goes No.1 in the Semi, No.1 in the Prelim and No.1 in the Grand Final. He went whack, whack, whack and brought home a flag.
  • The 20-plus rating which is the wow factor, he has done that eight times in finals. The next most is five - Josh Kennedy, Joel Selwood and Dangerfield. He’s miles ahead.
  • The three years they won a flag in 2017, 2019 & 2020 - in each of those Prelims and each of those Grand Finals, he’s had 20+ disposals and 2+ goals.

Good on the club for butchering Dusty’s 300th merch. My son is still waiting for his 300th guernsey and won’t get to wear it when his hero plays now. If the club was on the ball he would have been able to wear it when Dusty played his 300th. Cheers Richmond.

a retired player can not be drafted by another AFL club ever?
