Dustin Martin

So Dimma already knows this from Wednesday afternoon which was a few hours ago or last week???

Never saw Browneye type or mention this anywhere???
 
* me dragging up something from 2017.

Shock video, leaked on the eve of the AFL finals, shows Richmond star Dustin Martin groping a topless woman’s breast from behind.

Why is it shocking, he's at a strip club. no complaints, guess it was consensual, she didn't take offence. But that doesn't stop the low-life scums at the herald sun to still publish this on the eve of our finals.

“There’s just an old video of what looks like from 2017 of Dusty online on Twitter this afternoon, I think at a Richmond event. Are you aware of that, have you seen that video?” 7 News reporter Tom Browne asked.

“No,” Hardwick responded. “I’m not too sure.”

I want to see some action from us against this scum of a paper.

Geez, Tom Browne is a worm, does it look like a Richmond event? Wanker!

It's sad that some things that happened so long ago can resurface. Not because it's Dusty but the Hearld sun should not have run the story. It was a private party.
It's just a lesson to all our kids, it's not 1985 what ever thing you do these days can be recorded. A mistake today could *smile* up your life 20 yrs latter.

Richmond star Dustin Martin appears to grope topless woman from behind in leaked video​

The AFL is investigating the footage, which appears to show Martin groping the woman, after it spread across the internet.

Richmond star Dustin Martin has been caught in leaked footage appearing to grope a topless woman from behind.
The AFL is investigating the footage, which appears to show Martin groping the woman, after it spread across the internet.

The video appears to show Martin reaching around from behind the woman and grabbing her breast as she sits on the lap of another gentleman.

It remains unclear exactly where the incident occurred, however the video appears to be from inside a strip club or bar.

The topless woman can be seen sitting on a man’s lap as Martin approaches and extends his arm around her torso, before he is seen walking away laughing.

“We have become aware of a video posted on social media. We are seeking further information,” an AFL spokesman said, according to the Herald Sun.

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick was questioned about the video on Wednesday afternoon but played a straight bat to questions.

“There’s just an old video of what looks like from 2017 of Dusty online on Twitter this afternoon, I think at a Richmond event. Are you aware of that, have you seen that video?” 7 News reporter Tom Browne asked.


“No,” Hardwick responded. “I’m not too sure.”

Martin rejoined his Richmond teammates and was named in the team for the first final which takes place in Brisbane on Thursday night.

Martin, despite his on field heroics, has a long list of off-field controversies that have plagued his career.

In 2012, he received a two week suspension from the club for missing a training session.

In 2013, he was caught running a red light, in 2014 he was fined after driving suspended, and in 2015 he was accused of making threats inside a Japanese restaurant in Melbourne.

Dusty has endured a tough past 12 months after his father Shane, 54, died at his Mt Maunganui home in New Zealand on December 17, 2021.

Shane died of cardiovascular disease with drugs and steroids in his system.

Subsequent post-mortem tests found Mr Martin had a 600g enlarged heart, about double the size of an average man’s heart.

News.com.au contacted Dustin Martin’s agent for comment.
Long list of off field controversies ?

A couple of driving offences, an accusation since discredited and missing a training session .

They’re taking the *smile* now

Can’t really do too much legally. Could deny them access to the players or club in general I guess.
It's from Blobbo's sh!thole employer so let's see what he says about this. Dimma should have close contact with him.

Scavenger journos calling Ralph Carr for info.....what a bunch of 5 year olds.

In-depth jurnos.
Don't let the facts distort the real story.
On 360 tonight Robbo had his 'I want Richmond to lose' hat on.
He tired everyone on show to see if they too would agree that Richmond shouldn't be beating Brisbane in Brisbane.
I'm not surprised a Richmond crap story has broken 24hrs before our 1st final.
 
Media were just waiting for Dusty to be picked so they could run the story

This is just gutter journalism. Like the stories the Herald Sun ran about his dad after his death. I hope someone in a position of power calls this crap out.

Journo award for the Biggest Pile of Sh!t Ever Written goes to

The only plague is the Herald Sun. Not fit to wrap your fish n chips in.

Gilligan is too political to ever act to protect the Tigers over the corporate giant that is Newscorp. He is just a weak pissant that real Aussies hate.

It's an old video that has been hawked around several times over the years. It's a club event in the sense that it is a players *smile* up, a Mad Monday type thing.

I guess now someone has stopped trying to sell it and put it out into the public domain there isn't much choice but to report on it. People whacking the media should remember they had the chance to buy it many times and never did.

Not sure why people get so worked up over this stuff, Dustin isn't phased about it coming out. It taught him an important lesson to make sure your reptile mates aren't videoing you when you are off duty, which will have saved him many similar issues since.

That’s fair enough on the actual video TBR.

My point was on the narrative. a long list of off-field controversies that have plagued his career is very tabloid even for the HS.
