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

[The_Kraken]

Media will be lapping this up hashtagging but I reckon it will benefit the Tigers long term.

All speculation but if he goes,he goes,enjoy some Sun and the money.

Days like this make me glad I don’t live in Melbourne.

Move on.

No thanks.

More that the Gold Coast have confirmed it now

From the Age.

"When asked about the situation, Gold Coast football boss Wayne Campbell told this masthead: “We can confirm that Dustin has had a conversation with the club and we will both be engaging in further conversations to work out whether it’s a good fit for the Gold Coast Suns and for Dustin.”

Maybe he is going there as a shoe shiner?

 

[Muddiemoose]

It is what it is, but it isn't what it should be. And the truth and the clubs compensation is worth fighting for over ex players and coaches self interest.

I'm not saying he should stay, but if he is gunna go we should be compensated out of principle.

I think we will be because it hasn’t past the time for list lodgement

So Dusty will be treated as if he hadn’t “retired” and as a unrestricted free agent

So whatever compo we get it just based on that the deal the suns the offer Dustin and if we happen to recruit any free agents ourselves

 

[Groupie_]

maybe we will try to poach one of their kids like the scats did

 

[beema limapep]

Do you guys reckon he was crying in his farewell game because he knew he was going to GC?

Jesus this whole thing is weird

It's possible. Seemingly it looks like it.

 

[_RT_]

Goodbye and good luck.

Gave us all he had and left all of us with memories that will never fade. If he pulls on a Suns jumper it doesn't change a thing as far as his standing as an all time Richmond great.

However, my focus will be on the next generation of Tigers

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

He retired, now he is going to go play for another team. that does not sound loyal to me. the club did just as much for him as he did for club, I don't get how some people can think it's a one-way street. & think he is immune to any sort of criticism; I think it's a shit way he has done it. he should have just been honest & said he wants to play under Dimma, I actually think more people understood that than doing it this way.

I'd be asking the question why and a few other of his premiership team mates wanna leave and or retire .
Pretty clear our current coaches ethos of forgetting the past has a fair bit to do with it.

If that's the 100% the case Im happy for him to go. My only remaining beef is he didn't come out and be honest with everyone.

 

[Tiger2709]

I say f*** him if he goes, if he's no longer a one club Richmond player I would never buy an item with him on it again, for me its all about Richmond, the players come and go, we supporters are here for the long haul.

Doesn't mean I don't appreciate and love what he did for our club, I just value loyalty and honesty.

 

[smasha]

Just imagine the propaganda filled in Gold Coast residents mail boxes who are Richmond supporters.
"Join Gold Coast today!"
#fakefarkinWorld

 

[beema limapep]

Imagine how Yze and the players (his team mates) feel being abandoned by coaches, personell and players in the same dishonest way.

this is worse than dumma turncoating

Look at the contract they gave McChicken. Abomination of a club. They would have been better of bringing in the Southport Sharks into the AFL who at least have a soul.

I’m just basing that assumption on how the Hodge situation played out Where the Hawks still got a pick after he retired and joined the Lions after

Doubt it will be anything exciting but at least it’s something


As to him not saying anything, absolutely it’s pretty shitty but I’m not going to waste any energy dwelling on it

It’s what Richmond do next that matters to me

 

[Wavvey]

I’m gonna be sick

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Loyalty is like trust. Once you break it, its gone.

It's not a spectrum.

Could've jumped ship twice and stayed.
Loyalty shouldn't be questioned.

 

[smasha]

St. Francis,the King of Punt road.

 

[Philth]

Come on fellas.

We all saw Dusty play in the second half of the season. He's cooked.

He ain't playing for GC.

You jump ship once, loyalty is gone.

now to get the arse cheek tat lasered off

Is off the wall already , any Dusty Richmond merch now is literally worth nothing

 

[Groupie_]

media wacking off over no compo

 

[Cleansweep17]

Straight out of the Hardwick hand book.
I wouldn't expect anything less

He’s a straight up dog. I don’t want to here Richmond man again
