One helluva player - perhaps in the frame for the title of best Tiger ever?

 

[Wavvey]

Love you Dusty

 

[Keilor Tiger]

I'm actually happy with this. He's given me some of the best memories when I didn't think I'd see a flag and to me is the GOAT.
But retire on his own terms, not playing more games for the $$$ or diluting his legacy with average 15 possie games says so much about the bloke.
Kudos Dusty and thanks. Its been our privilege to have you come thru the mighty RFC.

One of the greatest to ever do it- my favourite moment was him single handedly burying Geelong in a Grand final - absolute superstar

That was Gold and Dangerfield smashing him for his last goal.

 

[Downtown06]

Rung SEN to pay my respects and said he is the GOAT, no other way to put it. Love it, hate it but learn to live with it!!!!

 

[SouthernStripes]

never seen a player who could have such an influence on changing the course of the game so consistently. The don’t argue period where no player could get near him was so exhilirating to watch. Every time he got the ball you just knew he was going to embarrass the opposition somehow. This hopefully marks the new dawn for the RFC, we got a lot of work to do

nah thats kevin bartlett imo

 

[Freddy Swift]

I’m the same Freddy 65 as well saw the glory days 60-70s and he made it complete

Too true SB. I guess overall we older Tiger supporters have been pretty blessed compared to some other clubs.

 

[Tiger V]

thanks for the for the great ride Dusty, enjoy whatever you decide to do in your retirement you deserve it

 

[Antzzz]

Stick that in ya arse McClure ..Swartz...Fev....and every other fookwitted media parasite .....I'm so glad he finished a TIGER ....most probably the greatest TIGER EVER !!!......it was time ....I'm glad i got to see Dusty play .....well done Dustin Martin

 

[tigersnag]

I had hoped he was just playing injured and would get back, but it seems that time catches up with everyone.

Legend. An absolute Richmond/AFL/Sporting legend.

 

[YeoGabbaGabba]

Thrilled he retired at Richmond. Would not look the same in any jumper other than Yellow and Black.

Well wishes to him post-footy and thanks for the memories. It was a joy to watch him play in those finals. Absolute freak and all-time great.

 

[bradfisher14]

My favourite player that I've seen in my adult life.

People these days froth over Daicos and Sheezel, but they can stick it up their arse - this man is the true definition of what a footballer should be. I hope you all realise how incredibly lucky you are to call him one of your own.

Even though he used to tear us up every single time, I'll miss not seeing him run out for you guys Round One next year.

 

[Mr E Tiger]

As simple as it gets:

King Dusty - GOAT

 

[tigers12]

Take it to the bank hey Schwartz u dhead

You never know Hardwick the shifty bastard will be behind the scenes to come out of retirement to play up there

 

[Blinger]

What an absolute legend Dusty has been, the best big time player I have ever seen. Also glad you got to call time when you knew your time was up.
To all the media muppets, go & stick that where the sun don't shine.
Also thanks for leaving us with so many memories for us tiger tragic's.

 

[tunksy]

GOAT

Love him to bits for what he has given us. So lucky to have seen him play always stood up in the moments that count the most.

Just wasn’t the same once cotch jack and Dimma left and that’s ok.

Thanks for everything Dustin

 

[philreich]

nah thats kevin bartlett imo

I guess we're splitting hairs here. The definition of a champion is someone who stands up when it matters most, and Dusty did it so many times, it was ridiculous. Three Norm Smith medals is a testament to his greatness.

Disagree I think he will respect Dusty’s decision given their relationship.

He would be up there is the greatest no doubt.

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

Time to build the statue outside gate 4.. The don't argue fend off pointing to Punt Rd and Swan St.

 

[Grechy]

Dustin you brought us so much joy. I don't think there are enough words to express the magnitude of what you did for the RFC. 3 Norm Smith medals may never happen in our history again. Today feels so sad. Go well in retirement Duz.

 

[Timothy Luncheon]

What an incredible joy it has been to watch Dusty play for us throughout his career. Brought us so much happiness. Watching him tear games apart was so fun.

Thanks Dusty, enjoy retirement. The last of the core group to leave. Sad in a way, and I really wanted him to win another game, but you could not ask for more from a career.
