Universal Love Martin Retirement

[chriso11]

Devastated. Really feel emotional about this, tears welling up when I read it. This man has delivered something special in our lives that we never thought we would see. AFL is just a game, but it’s also a passion and an emotional rollercoaster. This man has given us a lifetime of memories. His impact has been immense

My son is 3 in October...I think his first game may be R24 so he can say that he say the GOAT

same for my 3 year old. He loves Dusty! he will be sad when i tell him the news tonight

Remember ear plugs last round!
All those medals jingling 6 for Dusty, 2 for Brando, probably Grimes 3, Lynch maybe ??, add 80,000 plus roaring fans on the piss and… oh boy, Wowee!!

90K to a GC game

What a career, along with a few others he lifted this club on to his shoulders and carried us out of the dark ages, so happy he is going to be a one club player seems he loved us as much as we love him.

Its going to be hard watching games without the GOAT out there, we need to find a new GOAT... after a suitable time for mourning of course.

prob shouldve got one of those dusty 300 guernseys

Have one.
Ironically I got an email today that it's ready too pick up.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Hoping for a chance to say thank you to Dusty, Grimes and even B.Ellis at that last game

Dusty would love that.

3 kids
13, 15 and 17. They all cannot remember Richmond with Dusty.
It's hard to even explain to them still, just how good he was because he is what they have known. Just always knowing in finals, Dusty will turn up and turn everything around.
It is such a strange feeling knowing we won't see him in a Richmond guernsey anymore.

I loved this man, so very much.

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

Thank you dusty that's all

What's the biggest crowd Gold coast has played Infront of?

200

Yep… and what happened when our much loved Richo retired? Who waltzed in? And wow what a time we had!
Now it’s his turn to swing the door open for the next GOAT!!

I doubt there would be anyone in the future that could get anywhere near the level of appreciation/respect & love I have for Richo & Dusty RD.
Both humble legends of our club & comp.

 

[Madtiger2006]

There will be 100k against suns lol

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

make sure you black out the massive kfc covid sponsor with black masking tape

Will cover with his 3 norms

 

[saintron]

tom morris on sen refused to beleive that the retirement was concrete

he said hodgey retired and then was traded to the bears

watch this space

where theres smoke theres fire

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

It’s certainly a different feeling/reaction compared to last season with Jack and Cotch

Few things to note from the press conference. Someone finally noted that whilst gale was talking up our future, that this time next year gale will be working against us.. so it’s hard to listen to gale say we’re on the right path etc when he isn’t invested.

Also when asked whether dusty would be an attractive option to bring to Tassie in whatever capacity gale said they will cross that bridge when the time comes. Strange answer…
And finally he took a long time to answer the question of when he found out that dusty would retire when finally admitting it was over the course of the weekend.

Why not just be honest and say you’ve known for a coupla weeks or months or whatever it is.
Why not be honest and say you will try and get dusty to help at Tassie in a role, instead of this spin.
Why not be honest and say you’re not invested in the future of the club anymore instead of reeling off these hopes and dreams for our future.

I would love some honesty from the club in this down period instead of just useless spin.

Say we are in for some pain while we hit the draft but we still will aim to be competitive.
Say we are gonna lose a lot of experience this off season and there could be
Another season or 3 of development

It’s a strange time at tiger land

Oh, FFS.

Benny Gale can say whatever he wants. He's a legend.

Dusty Martin can do whatever he wants. He's a legend.

You can shove your keyboard where the sun don't shine. You're a nobody.
