Player Watch #4: Dustin Martin

[I Rock]

You can lead without being given any title, I wonder if he would want to be included or not.

Secondly would it be too harsh to suggest his playing habits when Richmond are in possession is much better than when the opposition have it?

At least he registered a tackle, unlike someone wearing a C and begging his team mates for cheap touches out the back.

 

[Helen Wheels]

yeah he might not be the spokesman type, but f**k he should be knocking on the door of the leadership group and lead the team with the way he plays EVERY WEEK!!!

THIS.

 

[kozi]

Most opposition fans love to hate him, but a lot hate how much they love him.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

It doesn't disguise the fact that he murdered a woman whilst he was on the gear, and got away with it.

And no one mentions the goat......just...one...goat

 

[Rubber Hips]

Dusty Martin would have to be one of every tiger supporters favorite ...and a player opposition clubs would want at their club

Guys a gem

This! And let's not forget how many times he went to the toilet. He doesn't get off that easy for me.

 

[tigs2010]

Give him the captaincy once he gets his toilet usage under control.

I heard the real reason he kept going back and forth to the toilet is because he had another woman tied up in there.

 

[SunshineBoy]

Has KB apologised yet?

 

[Stylo]

Give him the captaincy once he gets his toilet usage under control.

Weak bladder but at least he doesn't piss himself like all our other players

Do clearances and contested possessions count as begging for cheap touches out the back ?

 

[theyellowsash]

knows more about fighting in the face of adversity than our current sheltered captain.

Couldn't you just let a thread crediting Dustin be exactly that ?

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

Make Short captain

 

[theyellowsash]

How the **** would you know idiot , everyone of your posts you are banging on about the same shit . Couldn't you just let a thread crediting Dustin be exactly that ?

he went to an expensive private school in essendon. of course he is sheltered.

i would love to see dustin captain, even if it is for a short period while cotchin is injured or something. martin is in our top 3 players and i think it could be a masterstroke to help him get to another level. He seems to me the kind of kid who would thrive if given the responsibility.

 

[Valixir]

I disagree. He's not a leader.

Yes he's handled the pressure of media, rival fans like a champion but the pressure of captaincy and the leadership group would kill him. He's uncomfortable speaking with a sole stranger let alone dozens of people plus media.

The kid just wants to play footy.

 

[tunksy]

It should have been lids. Always held that belief.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Dustin doesn't need the captaincy.

 

[Tigers_fan24]

I thought he was the obvious choice to succeed Newy officially as captain.

I say officially because unofficially, he is our true leader.

I dunno. Sometimes being forced to come out a bit more can really help people grow and thrive. The responsibility could really push him to apply himself even further and push into the top 5 players in the competition.

Obviously it's not a given and would be a risk, which is why I mentioned a short stint. 1-2 games while cotchin is injured to give him a taste of it could be good for him.

 

[thefendoff]

If only he didn't flay people Ramsay Bolton style in his spare time. Could have been anything

 

[Concatenate]

Not related to the captaincy but did anyone else notice how much work he put in after the Vickery **** up?

When Lloyd got spoiled he was close by, he then worked hard to get to the next contest , won the ball then put a pin point centring pass from the boundary to grigg ( who then proceeded to **** up by playing on). He would be especially filthy.

 

[duzzy]

show the black birds some real manaakitanga this week boy
