tigerlove said:He's kicked plenty when we need it. Another beast of a game, 35 disposals, 20 contested possies, 5 clearances, 2 contested marks, 3 goal assists, 10 inside 50s. What else do we want from the poor bloke?
achillesjones said:We will keep Dusty. We could cut one of 6-8 players not earning their 400+ and give it to Dusty along with his current deal. Too easy.
Sir said:Simply not as good as the media make him out to be.
He's a 'highlights reel' player - makes great publicity for the AFL (don't argues / tattoos / publicity)
But there's a reason why successful clubs have 'no richard-heads' rules - and the RFC is simply not a successful club.
Harry said:He's elite. In the best 10 players in the league. Without him and rance we'd be spoon material.
DragaTheCro said:They just showed the kick Dusty had near the 50 with about 3 mins to go. Cameron encroaches and smothers it but play on wasn't called. Should have been a 50m penalty and a certain goal. $&?/ we can't take a trick seriously.
Dyer'ere said:I thought Martin was our best along with Rance. Maybe better than Rance. And I think now that Dustin Martin is the best player in the AFL. Along with Rance. Dangerfield maybe third.
It's Martin's best ball use that sets him apart. He's no Clangerfield. He's inspired by hand or foot. After he's carried the team for an hour or so he gets a bit tired and misses the odd one.
A few times when we were *smile*ed he just dragged our chances up off the canvas. Did he do it often enough to win? Nah. Next time.
Champion.
