Dustin Martin

Frustrating game. Golden opportunity to increase our percentage was fluffed. Its our highest score since we last played Brisbane and only the 4th time we've passed 100 points this year. We'll bank the 4 points but Dimma has proved himself to be right.. we don't beat teams by 10 goals.

Wrong topic mate

**back to Martin, He was pissed before the hangover disappeared after half time.
He was woeful in the first half

Who's being negative?

Cmon antman, the Dusty thread is either a mire of backhanded jabs and "fans" gritting their teeth or a bloody tumbleweed sanctuary. People's expectations of him are either so out of whack or they just don't like him and begrudge him whenever possible.

Yes he missed some targets today, but so did Gazza during his brownlow years.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Quiet early, but stepped up when the game had to be won and showed the rest of the comp how its done.

 

[HR]

Some in the media talking about, Dusty's "left hook" to the head of that pleb. That had better not even cop a mention from the AFL!

 

[Bill James]

Only Zipps but not sure that he counts

Zips is negatively charged so when he says something negative it should be taken as positive.

Maybe you are right Jason. For the record I think he's an absolute gun, we should do whatever we can to keep him, today wasn't his best game but it was still pretty damn good.

 

[Scoop]

40 touches, 2 goals, 14 clearances.

And I thought he was average.

Good second half. But not the same impact.

 

[Baloo]

I love the way he dealt with the niggle. If anything it made him fire up and take control,of the game.

 

[Merveille]

40 touches, 2 goals, 14 clearances.

Yeah average as.

So he was between 15th and 25th best on ground

 

[tiger_25]

40 touches, 2 goals, 14 clearances.

Good second half. But not the same impact.

Plus 12 inside 50's

What left hook what a joke
Dusty just pushed him away. Nothing in it

 

[gazza49]

Stood up and made sure we won in the third. Easily BOG. Go those being negative, what the hell do you expect? The bloke pulls 40, two goals, 15 bloody clearances... geez at least try and not look like idiots.

:clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap

 

[tigerlove]

And 18 contested possessions. But 11 clangers does sound like a lot. His disposal last week was quite poor too. Before that his disposal had improved out of sight.

He wasn't awesome today by any means, I agree. Myself being heavily biased, I know that's obvious. Geelong fans certainly don't treat Danger in this fashion.

Good second half. But not the same impact.

If I hadn't seen the game I'd of said you had too many at the mail exchange before the game, however as silly as it sounds I get what your saying, in saying that second half was very good , sets a high bar does Dusty.

 

[Rosy]

Eye gouge?

 

[tigertim]

Too many of his "bullet" passes aren't hitting the mark.

 

[UKTiger]

Eye gouge?

Hared to say from the camera angle but normally after an eye gouge incident the player would be covering his eye and be off the field for treatment. I didn't see Robertson do that. My guess Robertson was staging

Yep, that's what I thought. I think he (Robertson) grabbed a different part of his face than what Dusty touched.

Would be very richmond for us to have a brownlow win ruled inelegible for a nothing act.
