Universal Love Martin Retirement

[UncleBob]

I seriously hope you are just reading too much into it.

Fairly certain Gale also reiterated he's "retiring from AFL"

I wouldn't read too much into it.

 

[tunksy]

Man the goosebumps you get watching the highlights are unreal

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

I hear he's going to co-host a radio chat show with Bruce Doull. "Dusty and the Doormat"

A Tiger Immortal Forever.

We all knew his 300th game was his farewell game I'm lucky to had been there.

You made our club Great again.

'Ohh dusty Martin, you are the love my life, ohh dusty Martin ill let you shag my wife, ohh dusty Martin...........Thank you!

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Imagine Dusty playing in some local league

Will never happen as much as he probably would love to.

lol there is already footage of him apparently playing last Sunday it just never ends.
He was dead serious when he said he wanted to play with his cousins but I agree I think his playing days are done!

 

[Morro]

Man the goosebumps you get watching the highlights are unreal

I feel you, have seen them all multiple times, the feelings never change.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Saddest day since the great man Richo retired.
Glad he stayed a one club great.
Thank you Dusty.

Man we have it good getting to support the tigers and having gotten to see dusty live.

 

[Richo=Champion]

Thanks for the memories great man ..YELLOW AND BLACK!!!!

That terribly sad feeling i have when i witness our truly great players retire and depart Tigerland is back again with a vengence. From my childhood idol Billy Barrot, the unquestionable greatest player of his era Royce Hart and the so many others i've seen go over the years to become the life-long Richmond memory for me. Now its Dusty. Dusty the GOAT, Dusty the one who all of us living Tiger supporters owe everything to for dragging us out of mediocrity, ridicule and insignificance and into the era of three premierships, club power and opposition fear and loathing. Goodbye Dusty, it truly was a blessing to have you play for our wonderful club. CARN THE TIGERS

We have had some devastating finals players such as Royce Hart, Kevin Bartlett but Dustin Martin was on another level.

My favourite commentator remark concerning Dusty was by James Brayshaw

' another finals that Dusty is ripping apart'.

300 plus games for the Mighty Tigers
Brownlow Medallist
Jack Dyer Medallist
Two time Gary Ayers medallist
Triple Premiership Player
Triple Norm Smith medallist............ Dusty stands alone.

They should be melting the bronze for his statue at Tigerland as we speak.

Gisborne here he comes

Surely a proud C-maine boy wouldn't wanna play for Gisborne

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

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

How can the Chief be sure that Dusty will be available to attend the Round 24 game when no one knows when the **** it's going to be?

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

I hear he's going to co-host a radio chat show with Bruce Doull. "Dusty and the Doormat"

What would the show be called, the "cone of silence" ?

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

Correct... devil's in the detail

I heard from AFL football

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

Fairly certain Gale also reiterated he's "retiring from AFL"

I wouldn't read too much into it.

Agree

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Make sure you get there at the farewell, it’s unlikely we’ll see him again at the club for a long ass time

Would be hysterical if he’s a “homecoming hero” down the line

It really now feels like a new era and I have no clue what that even looks like

 

[Grockadoc]

This one hurts as much as Richo... An absolute champion of the game and a future legend of the AFL and the RFC.

A silent, humble champion who let his football do the talking for him and shied away from the fame, media and spotlight that came from being arguably the games greatest ever finals player.

Thank you for the ride, the memories and happiness you brought to this tiger tragic and the hundreds of thousands of members od the Tiger Army.

May you now find peace and balance in your life out of the spotlight, with your family and friends. You deserve it, mate.

I wish you all the best!

Surely a proud C-maine boy wouldn't wanna play for Gisborne

It was a rumour doing the rounds this Bendigo league season, albeit quickly knoocked on the head!

 

[Vassp]

I had a big feeling of sadness come over me today.

 

[Tenacious T]

This man single handedly made supporting Richmond more fun again….

Simply the GREATEST

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Saddest day since the great man Richo retired.

Thank you Dusty.

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!!
