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

The only Richmond player I never liked.
He's like the one member of your favourite band that you absolutely hate...

Absolute scumbag of a person. Worked with an ex Richmond player from the early to mid 90s, said Campbell would be referred to as 'Lord' and Campbell loved it, this ex player hated his guts and he wasn't alone, most of team mates hated or feared him (or both). If you weren't in the in crowd he wouldn't talk to you or give you the time of day.

Worst thing we did was retain him when he wanted out.

remember when he threw the ball up when we won that final
 
I was really disappointed with all this yesterday but this morning I am feeling a little better and what will be will be.

The club has much bigger issues to address.

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.
Because he doesn't like Yze and his camel.
 
As an aside the club better set up a Judas table at the Jack Dyer medal night

Baker, Rioli, Bolton and Dusty all on the table together with no one else

They get all meals served last, don’t get the meal they ordered, also forced to drink warm cans of beer
Suntanner destined dirdywats, their managers and the media they pimp to get left over crusts from the box with the dots.

Hell, throw in a side of Brussel sprouts boiled for 90 mins serves on a bed of kale with uncleaned full squid fried on high heat for 10 mins. Prepared by guest chef Louie the Butcher. Such be our generosity.

Drink is Spumante by the magnum. Any open bottle must be consumed in totality. All at the table each get an open bottle to start.

There could be a post dinner manicure and facial provided by imported persons looking to extend their specialised trained practices in the Kharkiv region. A lil' bit dark, but nare mind, SBS movies gotta get credit for something, sometimes.

Now that my dream has finished, I think this Dusty story has the look of a dark farcical comedy. Dusty is pretty banged up, war torn, particularly from the last 4-5 seasons. Predict no winners if Dusty chooses to play for the suntanners,
 
Why did he not just request a trade? Or seek to go there as a free agent so that we could get some sort of compensation?

If Dusty goes there without us getting anything, then I’ll honestly be pissed off. I know he owes us nothing and has finished off his contract with us, but it doesn’t mean that we cannot be annoyed at this.

Guys, so many of us have said that Dusty has done so much for us and owes us nothing.

Now that he’s leaving, we’re all suddenly up in arms?

Dusty can do what he wants, he’ll always be a Tiger.

Yes it sucks a little that he retired then “backflipped”, but think about it, if he had done the normal route of Unrestricted Free Agency then he would have had to wait until the end of the season to announce that, so no chance for us to farewell him and no chance for him to farewell and thank us too.

He had to retire to get the chance to say goodbye.

Let it be, let him go, it’s fine.

exactly.. Dusty will always be in our hearts
but he is now in the rear view mirror.
Our club has problem's at the moment and huge challengers are coming
We need to focus on our trade and draft
not issues out of our hands
 
you cant have us away in ground zero 2 years in a row

gagf

play it at the G
cfl have locked in us playing suns again at the gold coast
 
I know good Richmond people who named their dog Dusty.

Imagine how the dog feels with that name now. It's life is a lie and it has to live with that.
Their dogs biological mum and dad are asking for it back
