Opinion Can Dustin Martin be the GOAT? (Answer: no)

[Mr Meow]

The greatest Rioli to play the game by a long way

No love for Dean?

Now that he's retired, the hyperventilating that comes with seeing something unique will subside and his true standing in the game will be judged. He will have the reputation as the greatest 'big game' player ever until or if a similar unique set of circumstances gives someone else the opportunity to win three Norm Smiths in three winning grand finals. It guarantees a standing in the game. But over time, he will fall further and further back on the list of AFL greats.

I dont think so.
The same way people remeber world records that stood for generations.
I don’t think the AFL would like to see another dynasty and they have a tendency to contrive situations to get what they would like.

Daniel.

Nah saw him win Norm as a kid and have been a big fan ever since. Always have had a soft spot for the Tiggers had some great players. Sadly their recent run at the to has been tarnished by a few unhumble winners. Not looking forward to seeing how Blues and Bombers fans handle success. Hopefully they learn a little from other teams flog fans and don't out flog them

Oh yeah I was just pushing the topic in any more interesting direction than the same few saddos doing their Martin embellishment while deriding other champions (as if that somehow does anything other than make people roll their eyes).

Plenty of interesting players to discuss.

Carey and Lockett went alright.

Roach, Jess, the dominator, trevor barker, Doull, Capper, Blight and the one who got me to be a Cat fan as he was from the club I played for as a kid Mark Yeates
