Player Watch #4 Dustin Martin is the GOAT and King of Punt Rd.

[tigerdan]

Few remember? How about nobody remembers because it never happened. What year did he play for North?

Trained at North 72. I thought he played but evidently cracked the sads when they told him he'd be in the ressies so he bailed.

The words were right out of ej's mouth, it was an interview where he talked about retirement and "going" to North.

But yeah didn't play a game, I remembered that bit wrong, google wasn't around then to fact check.

 

[shaky]

Exactly. Dusty delivered the RFC more than anyone of us could of imagined. Calling him a dog is absolutely unacceptable.

Smells like a dog barks like a dog.........

 

[shaky]

Exactly. Well said. Time we all moved on.

Yet you keep posting, seems you can't move on, not everyone else

 

[sante]

It’d be shit to see him at another club for sure but it is what it is. It doesn’t make sense to me but time will tell I guess

 

[shaky]

So you want everyone to agree with your opinion?

Isn't that you. You keep saying move on because you don't agree with it. You seem to be set on making the same comment over and over just to upset people, the definition of a troll.

this has dimmas finger prints all over it. the bloke roots on his wife stays too long lies to the gws points says he’s stressed and then accepts a job a few weeks later. brings rioli and dusty up during breaks and feeds the tripe. i thought dusty had more brains. dimma has failed as a coach at suns this year. he got lucky with a great group of players and was all but gone 2016 til neil balme got stuck into him and told him to pull his finger out. they surrounded him with brilliant assistants. i say he’s the evil shit behind this and dusty got sold a dream. seriously dusty can’t sprint anymore nor can he tackle. it will be actually hard to watch him next year try and get amongst it again but he’s made his bed. let’s screw them for an extraordinary deal with rioli. let’s get behind caracella again and beats these toys.

Dusty rarely sprinted or tackled, left that work to others.
He won the ball himself or had it feed to him so he could do his brilliance.
If he is reasonably fit he can still be effective with a good group of players around him.

I didn't check. I only know he didn't because he played 321 games and held the games record at Footscray (before Hawkins broke it) with - you guessed it - 321 games.

 

[The_Kraken]

You called us whiny bitches.... Then seemingly agreed with everything we were saying.

You're the hypocrite that agrees with all of us having a cry

He coached Williamstown and got us relegated

Anyone who plugs a younger meat hole when you have a loyal wife and two kids manning the forte at home is a pig and I have always maintained that it severed the club from sources amongst the group. Everyone jumped down my throat saying oh hahaha bs, well now it all comes out. How many times does the rancher need to plug your wife before you finally take action. You want Rioli? You pay up or we just keep him.

By the way, you all want gossip? The club is furious. Internally furious, and Taranto is livid. Bloke had Dusty also help pitch the dream. Things could really blow up if this move happens. I hope Gold Coast pay up big.

 

[JackNah_8]

Gale must be disappointed with this outcome. Few months ago, he was eager for Martin to re sign with us.

If Martin wanted to play on, why retire. It's misleading to the fans who farewelled him.

 

[Nerflardio2424]

Hearing the news today hurts a little to be honest. Dusty is my hero. He is a modern great of the club, nothing can take away the amazing the chapter he was so majorly apart of. If he goes, I hope he has a ripper season.

Indisputable!

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Dusty don’t love the club like we do. He loves his $, manager and lifestyle more. Took the piss all year while taking $1.3mil out of the joint. Good riddance

 

[biaseddustyfan]

don't do it dusty

 

[Maybenextyear]

Someone needs to tell Dusty the big game player that GC don’t actually play any big games.

there are campaigners that named their kids dusty for christ sake

Legend has it the man himself was named after Dustin Fletcher he's that old

 

[Nostradumbass]

There are campaigners who named their kid Daenerys. Look how that turned out.

 

[Groupie_]

this is gonna be a problem in that the young players are all going to feel that rioli, bolton and dusty all didnt wanna play under yze and did a runner

luckily yze is a only a stop gap coach that is there to gather draft picks for grigga

A team man would sign a one year contract with us and force a trade
