To say he has been consistently great for a number of years is a bit much. He has been consistently very good for a number of years, and has had a great year this year. That is more accurate. If he has more great years he may catch Ablett jr. Anything is possible.

I'm struggling to work out which part of this post in any way relates to the discussion topic. You may as well have just posted another inane picture.

I think we should just assume that no one has a chance of being the GOAT until they become the GOAT. There has been plenty of players that have fallen from grace a year after having the world in front of them.
Exactly, history makes these judgements not suitable to make the call on any present day players especially one with 5 -7 years left.
Dusty has certainly had the most awarded season of all time...MASOAT

KB has a statue at the MCG.
I know it's still early, but if Dusty maintains his current output for the next few years would there be a chance of us seeing a "don't argue" statue in 30 years?
Would look incredible!

I know your pulling the piss but Dusty has hardly played finals and is made to look a lot better by being surrounded by spuds. I'd still take Ablett, Danger and Judd over him any day of the week.

You forgot Priddis.
Dusty one of my favourite players and would be for many people in Oz.
This sorta unnecessary shit frustrates me because its not grounded in reality, and slowly annoys you until you can't stand the player. Similar thing happened with Bont.

Every year, every game, every goat.. soon we'll have a herd of 'em to rumble around the park and give
every sports reporter work to do in order to tally the stats, question the team mates and coaches and
even those bumbling sports shows to give the expert opinion on various friends, relatives, and fans thoughts
about that dubious person called an animal that is white, skinny and small footed.
Hardly entertaining seeing as it turns into something that divides rather than unites thoughts.

I bet you have never seen one game Alan Jackovich ever played. He was a freak he kicked over 200 goals in 47 games including kicking his first 100 in 21 games

I have. But regardless, those stats hardly put him in the conversation for greatest player of all time. Bad call.

definitely not in the GOAT conversation but how great was he to watch?
He is arguably one of the best 2 players at 'this' time in 2017. The GOAT is seriously expanding on just one season.
Like Ablett Dusty is different, he does things others can't, but he also has things he cannot do well, Danger is an overhead and pack mark but does not have the don't argue.
We love him and will always value what he has brought to Richmond and whatever he may bring in the next 7 years.
If he wins 2 more brownlows maybe I will think about him as a GOAT candidate, but not now, not by a long way.

want to see.

Who is the dream starters of the new year and who are going to set the world on fire. that is a ripper thread to get on board.

Like that little Italian bloke for Collingwood in the 90s I can't remember the name of. Kicked 5 on debut. Was definitely tracking to be the GOAT after that game. And Rutten for the crows scored 2 goals with his first 2 kicks. If he kept that up geez

Daniel Metropolis kicked six on debut; could have been goat
It depends where Martins peak is, and how long he can maintain it for.
In 2016 he showed he could be a dominant player but was wasteful in a team with a poor gameplan. In 2017 he was simarly dominant but was much more effective, in particular in the latter stages of the year.
If his form to close out 2017 continues over the next 4-5 years, and he is still very solid in his last couple of years, he belongs in the GOAT conversations.
Right now he is just a player that has had one of the better individual seasons in the history of the game.

He was still one of the best to ever lace up the boots even though he only had a very short career

He can be, will peak in a couple of years, just imagine! But I reckon he'll fall off quickly- someone will grab his fending arm and do his shoulder eventually, and like Ablett Jnr, that will be that.
There'll always be the likes of Judd and Dangerfield, the guys who burst from packs and like a goal. But Dusty is unique, he's playing a different game, pleasure to watch.

I like to watch Dusty play don't get me wrong here, but the frustrating thing is watching moron opposition players still try and tackle his body whilst being stiff armed. Coaches ffs train your team to grab that arm and reef it out of the socket !
