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

[JackNah_8]

Sick of ****ing hearing about it tbh

Agree. I'm over it. It seems like Martin has switched off and is not interested in playing at the moment

Give him a farewell game against the suns in the final round and be done with it.

it always stayed with me that Richo never got a final game/farewell/send off in front of the RFC family.
and don't want Dustys final days to end with a whimper..
but sometimes life just be like that!

I am hearing Martin won’t play against Crows in Adelaide so he can play his 300th game at the MCG against Hawks.

 

[tora tora tora]

How can you play golf with a bad back?? You can’t

Very badly? standing too close to the ball after he hits it.

Nah you're right. My spies tell me he's taken up membership at the Titirangi Golf Club.

 

[RJK Tiger]

yep, looks like he is enjoying not playing

Thats what everyone said when Dimma went on holidays after he quit citing "burnt out".

The way people are leaving look tired & stressed is not a great snapshot. Geelong have never had this, suggest to me the club is a pressure cooker

Think he was just limping to the 300. Had the big crowd. Nothing left to give. Would prefer he announced his retirement.

 

[Nostradumbass]

No one is bigger than the club.

Exactly. We are getting too caught with Martin's future plans because of the media. It's boring and repetitive now.

Rather focus on the club's future

 

[Groupie_]

I think hes finished will retire

 

[Nostradumbass]

I think hes finished will retire

He'll play his final game against GC and Dimma will carry him off the ground straight into GC change rooms and sign him for next season.

good we'll get a pick 69 compo from the cfl

 

[Livonski]

Couldn’t give a rats about the media frenzy. Refuse to give it oxygen. Let them blah blah. How many said he was definitely retiring after 300? NFI
Would love Dusty to get his body right and play for us next year. That’s all I care about.

Always felt poorer that we never saw Richo off , would be sad if there wasn’t a goodbye with dusty

I sadly think he will head to Gold Coast & thats been the plan for near 12 months

well a fit dusty is probably still best 22 for us playing half forward... the big IF is fitness and desire

we could also spend that cash on some younger player

 

[tiger_tough]

I wish we'd just announce he has re signed or announce that he will retire at seasons end already. The fact neither is happening suggests he'll be elsewhere and this circus will roll on till the end of September.

 

[terrybull]

Be kinda cool if he decides to retire that he plays his last games in the VFL and wins one last Premiership with the Tigers.

Big question though if this happened…. Who will have the biggest crowds? Seniors on the MCG or Reserves on Punt Road?

 

[Daka]

My heart says I want him to stay as a one club player.
but my head says it's hurting our club honestly if he stays on the list another year, I don't want another year of this.

I think to play VFL finals you have yo play 6 vfl games in the year?

Bummer…. But rules are meant to be broken.

Wasn’t some Hawk player many years ago allowed to play in VFL Finals despite not being eligible?

But even if…. It’s not gonna happen

Have to play set amount of VFL games for that to happen I believe.
