Universal Love Martin Retirement

[UncleImpairedRetina]

Dusty is easily the biggest reason every tiger born after the grand final in '80 was able to experience Richmond success.

Not once, but thrice. What a ****ing legend.

Thanks Dusty. We love ya guts.

 

[voorhees]

its the stays a 'one club player' that makes today tolerable
and all the memories this man has left us with.
nothing beats Dusty on the podium in 17' G.F screaming for the world to hear
YELLOW AND BLACK

 

[Truetiger]

That goal in the 17 PF in the last qtr was something else!!!!!

That’s probably one of my fav ever football memories at that game , the noise when he kicked that was off the charts

 

[_RT_]

If only we knew Saturday would be the last time we'd see the GOAT go around, Marvel would have been overwhelmed

Thanks for everything King

 

[Truetiger]

remember dumma retired and then 6 weeks later announced gold campaigners

Yeh but let’s focus on the now not the what ifs.

[TigerImposter]

To me bigger than the King Elvis and today sadder than the death of Elvis.
Thanks for the glorious memories Dusty and like Elvis’ greatest hits are still played today we will always be playing your greatest plays until we RIP.



Riewoldt, Cotchin and Martin all gone. Today football died.

 

[el_simo]

Until we get more info I wouldn’t be writing off a post retirement trip to GC. I hope it’s not the case

 

[Tiges1229]

He’s retired mate he’s not playing again

Saturday was the first game I have been to since the 2019 grand final. My sons first game since he was a baby and my daughters first game; she got a wave from Dusty in the warm-up and we got it on video.

I'll just leave this here. After the 2017 grand final, my son was running around the lounge room, singing a remake of a Christmas carol classic, and I thought to myself, "This is too good to pass up", so I added a couple of verses. Enjoy:

We're at the MCG
On grand final day
It's Richmond v the Crows
It's Richmond all the way
I can't support the Crows
They are the enemy
There is only one result
That I'd like to see

Chorus:

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to see
The Crows get blown away
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to see
The Crows get blown away

It's now late in the game
The Tiges have got it won
But for all us Crow haters
The fun has just begun
The Camries came here proud
They thought they had it made
But they forgot that flags aren't won
Until the game is played

Chorus:

 

[blaisee]

Dusty had a tough upbringing, being the son of a bikkie would not have been easy

He was a player who was as brutal as he was silky

One club player

No nonsense, no fanfare

Best on Ground in every single big game he ever played fit

The most unselfish champion I have ever seen

Absolute privilege to watch his career

There will never be another one like him

GOAT

[Tiges1229]

Yep best days

[Truetiger]

That’s for then not now. So let’s celebrate his Richmond career.

 

[smasha]

One club Richmond legend.
Farewell Tiger champion and good luck for the future.
You gave us joy we could only dream about.

 

[Groupie_]

That’s for then not now. So let’s celebrate his Richmond career.

we will but we will keep an eye open . its happened many times before and dumma and the cfl are slithery snakes

 

[Tiges1229]

Won’t lie my eyes got bit watery when I found out

 

[captain cotch 9]

Richo & Dusty are the only players that I've seen that are universally loved by all Richmond supporters.

 

[cub]

Don't know if he will ever realise just what he did for mostly us as supporters, made dreams come true
So So So lucky to have lived this era especially with family and friends, the ABSOLUTE best of times I will cherish forever

 

[The_Kraken]

What a great career!

We’re so lucky to have witnessed a generational talent like Dusty tear it apart for Richmond.

Thanks for the memories, you absolute legend.
