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

[TigerImposter]

If this is all true I can't believe how low we've sunk . I hope it's not as I would be disappointed with Dusty as he has the last year of his contract to play out on good money and it's a terrible example for all the team including senior players. Wonder what the issue is with Yze and him if true ?
This season has been a shit pie as it is, let alone this crap if true.

It would be hard warming up to a new coach when you’ve had the same one your entire career. Doubt its any serious issue with the coach.

Yeah I'm not sure it would be anything in particular with Yze.

Dusty is a pretty complicated and clearly private individual - we were lucky in some ways that all of his planets aligned at Punt Rd.
Peggy, Benny and Dimma - the players around him that became his best mates including Cotch, Jack, Grigga early on etc...

All gone now and a whole new batch of staff and players.

I reckon he still might have a passion to play footy, maybe always will but a big part of who he is is the club, individuals and environment around him.

Lot's of change at Punt Rd means it is not the same place it used to be...

 

[Groupie_]

Probably Kate Sheehan. Comes from a family of blabbermouths.

anyone from that family should never be inside punt rd

He's starting to piss me off.

He is already on holiday mode....

 

[Frustrated Tiger]

Meh, who cares... over it.

Meh, who cares... over it.

Best way to know Dusty’s future.

 

[TigerImposter]

That's called the Gold Coast.lol

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

His a club champion, but sorry no one is bigger then the club some people to scared to call him out. If it was any other player their view would be different. His conduct hasn't been great this year on a few things. If Morris is correct we'll very poor look. There a few of our senior blokes letting Yze down and not on the same page I would give them a choice your in or out if it's the later clean out your locker.

On over 1 million a year and he goes to NZ with back injury instead of resting and doing rehabilitation that's bs call it how it is , and I'm even more upset at the club allowing it where have the standards gone.

I doubt the club is too upset about it. And why would they be? If he is struggling for either fitness or motivation or both at this point, then clearly the best thing he can do is not play.

I'd be going with someone with extensive media contacts that may be disgruntled...or just likes blabbing to sound like they actually know something.

p.s. I'm not saying anyone blabbed. This could be another case of speculation by media with some logic being stupidly extrapolated.

Yes offcourse by resting and doing rehabilitation correct. Well that's not good enough by our football club because standards need to be set

 

[Tonythetiger]

Whether there is truth to it or not, it's part of a greater effort by these media types to bring us down and get us to eat out own. Regardless of what happens, he is a Richmond Champion and 300 gamer. I don't think he has anything left in the tank with us and it's probably Hardwick in his ear convincing him to go on and that he's about to enter another dynasty era with the Gold Coast. I suspect he is ready to retire but is being influenced by others to entertain a move.

Having 1 club champions IS about the club. Our rep is on the line with this imo. Richmond have been good with 1 club players.

What damage is he doing anyway we suck he won’t change that on his own.

does the RFC and Dusty understand how all this BS makes the club look like

He trained today. Once again, storm in a teacup by the media and the fans gobble it up

 

[Livonski]

Apparently gone, Tom Morris said he hasn’t warmed to Yze’s coaching. Blokes generally got good mail.

Just watched #9 news. Morris said Dusty’s back training (with vision) but needs to get thru 2 sessions. FWIW I thought he looked proppy, just like someone with a crook back.
Funnily enough the campaigner said nothing about not warming to Yze and nothing about him being gone.
Seems like another example of the media creating content off Dusty. Parasites

 

[Livonski]

Makes the club look strong and confident in their principles.
Not responding to every piece of media crap. Not giving any oxygen.
It’s clowns on here chattering like children that cause all the angst.
Ignore the noise, respond when there is something to respond to.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Tom Morris reporting this. 99.99999% chance it’s verbal diarrhoea.
How many times over Dusty’s career have we come to the wrong conclusion.
Because he’s such a private person, rarely comments on football issues, the media will always try and join the dots, and get it wrong

 

[voorhees]

Meh, who cares... over it.

there does come a point when the end of contract/new contract circus does flame you out.
Thankfully this will be the last time the club will go through it.
