Dustin Martin

I'm loving this, poor old Sammy Edmund is gobsmacked.

Edmund, why do you think Dusty had no time for the media........it was because of the way the media treated him, you *smile*.

If it does happen, Dusty will show you clowns how it should be done.


So the guy who spends his entire life as a footy recluse, shunning and hating the media, doing everything he can to avoid the media - which is ultimately his prerogative - but to turn around, if this story is accurate, and then consider making something of a living from that same footy media, I think is the most stupid thing I have read this year, maybe in multiple years,” said Edmund.

Edmund continued: “I cannot get head my head around it.
“Could there be a greater case of sporting hypocrisy than if he was to do a show on Fox or join the commentary team… it can’t be true. If it’s not then forget everything I’ve said.

And their true colours come out.

I assume the media are finally done as of 3pm today with the slim chances of Dusty playing for GC?

I do see that players can choose to not nominate for the national draft and still be signed as SSP selections, so I’m hoping that’s not the next thing.

I suppose we'll get a fair number of mea culpas from a fair few journos now. Some of them went very hard, you could even say some went all-in. Considering the very high standards of journalistic integrity and accountability, it wouldn't surprise me if a few handed in their resignations.

Media talking heads are now fighting each other to see who can be the most faux outraged that Dusty would consider a career in the media. Of course they all say "IF" because they dont know what he is doing. But rather than wait and see they need to be seen to be saying something.

Dustin Martin can't be taken as an SSP because he was in the AFL system over the last 12 months and didn't nominate for the draft. (Tom Morris)

Jaxson Prior and Quentin Narkle were both in the AFL system the last 12 months and did not nominate for the draft so that they can be taken as SSP without being taken in the draft. (Cal Twomey)

Huh??? Completely contradictory...or am I missing something?

They are crapping their pants they might get a stare, or worse, get nothing, and his no-frill communication style will make them look like even bigger gooses.

That’s what confused me too, but looking into it, believe it’s due to the fact Martin is retired whereas Narkle & Prior were delisted.

Given being an unrestricted free agent like Martin allows you to move to any club you choose for any reason, it is interesting that retiring doesn’t give you the same movement freedoms afforded to a delisted player.

I assume it’s so a club can’t be screwed out of compo, but still.
