Should footy fans be concerned about Dustin Martin?

[Higgs Boson]

Agreed.

Grrr

Risible quip, if ever I saw one

 

[smasha]

Everyone loves Martin.Look at every club's supporters in here.

You can bet your bottom dollar that if he was up for trade,every seagull would try to snoop him.

That's why Carlton and Essendon supporters are plentiful in this thread.

 

[The Dice Man]

Think footy fans of 17 clubs should be very worried about Dustin, he's going to tear a few teams a new rectum this season.

unless the off field stuff impacts on his onfield performance?

That's what Newman was getting at.

By the way, which club shouldn't be worried about him?

 

[smasha]

LOL Lance I can see your nose growing.

 

[smasha]

HUN(Essendon fan paper) once again stirring the pot because of their BS article.

Every 2nd article has been about Richmond LOL.

 

[smasha]

Ralphy pull Robbo and his mates into line will ya?

We all know negative stuff about Richmond sells papers by the load but heck me ease up.

 

[ROCKY ROAD]

I heard his Father is a bikie.Is this true Richmond people?

So what if his father is a bikie **** head, David Neitz's old man was a wife basher, did that effect his football ability?
Ridiculous post!

 

[Dalphonso]

There you go!
Criminal activity covered up by Richmond supporters.
I simply asked if he was a Bikie and you jump to the defence of Bikies?

Where did you hear he was a bikie?

Have you heard of Bay 13? Its the place just for you!

Why? Whats the difference when a poster asks if a player has a bikie as a Father, how is that relevant?

And backs it up with

His question and reply was bay 13 quality like this entire thread.

Was referring to the mother retort.

Classy debating, for sure.

 

[butters86]

ben cousins did say he was best young player he'd played with and he did play with chris judd!

 

[Dalphonso]

Where did you hear he was a bikie?

From a source very close to Richmond.Probably a lot closer than you .

 

[Bazzar]

From a source very close to Richmond.Probably a lot closer than you .

So if your source is so reliable, why ask us if he is a Bikie?

Big noting yourself or just trolling?

 

[yaco55]

How has this thread got to 9 pages - Nothing story and not main board worthy - For heavens sake there are Dustin Martin's in every club.

I wonder if Lance is related to UTG ?

 

[db swannie]

I honestly think the kid is not far away from real trouble. He can play footy, no doubt, but he isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer and he needs to develop a meaningful life outside of playing footy. If he doesn't I'd say things could get bad for him, which would be a shame.

Why is that? What has he been doing lately that disturbs you so much to post this?

 

[theflea]

i wonder if this supposed stern talking too was just a kindly reminder before the break ' now remember to keep yourself nice over the break' sort of talk. its probably just as likely than anything else.

AS you well know he was involved with popping pills during last season and was party to one player being sacked from the club. There have been at least 3 reports that can I can remember since the end of last season where Hardwick and others at the club have publicly stated their concern for Martin and his inability to handle the "down time". If that doesn't ring alarm bells to you then fine, but if there was a player at my club being talked about in this manner I'd be concerned.

And what were these three?

And "popping pills?' Get real.

 

[UpTheGuts]

I don't have any intelligence on what the issue is. Running with scissors at home? Keith Richards Mk II?

Sounds like they are riding him pretty hard. If he's really pushing the envelope then that'd be disappointing and you'd wonder what it'd take to sink in. I saw him last week and he was looking super. Up all night or lots of extra work and a focus on diet? Dunno

I wouldn't rule out trading him, though I do expect him to have an excellent year. His output really dropped away in secon halves last year. If he is as fit as he looks, he's a real chance to become a very special player

He's no Einstein, but he gets and kicks footy good

 

[Vdubs]

To the OP, all I can add is , Carey is the 2nd best to "grace" us.

There was Gary Ablett.... Then anybody and everybody else.

 

[sappa]

Seems to be a hell of a lot uneducated, ill informed posting here on this topic. Surely if the problem was so big it would be reported by the always respectable journalists form the Herald Scum and such. Oh wait same thing.

One for a start in the OP, can't be bothered finding the others. You know as well as I do he's been getting up to no good. I'm not out for his blood, I like watching him play, as I'm sure you do. He's got all the makings of a bloody good footballer.

Where there's smoke there's fire. I hope he sorts his shit out before he gets into trouble is all I'm saying.

firstly it wasn't pills that he was consuming that night.

secondly his dad is in fact a bikie. he is what you call an 'enforcer'.

finally he is still a kid. he just needs to find a hobby or passion outside of football or better yet a serious girlfriend.

im more concerned about the young cubs at the club who look up to young dusty. i just hope they dont follow a similar path in regards to his off field antics. one player in particular look to be well on his way which is concerning. when dustin first came to the club a few boys (ones who are no longer at the club) took him under their wings and introduced him to the party scene and he has never looked back. does enjoy a good night out young dusty..
