Absolutely spot on. I've seen Dusty on the t.v. doing a media spot after games plenty of times. Personal and private life is another matter entirely and Dusty well within his rights to ignore the parasites when they come scavenging.

To play devil's advocate though TM, he has deliberately created interest in himself beyond football.

It's not compulsory to take cash to run around in your jocks on ads, or be on massive billboards flogging thongs, hosting Q and A nights or releasing books.

I don't think you can push yourself to the public and then expect them to turn off the interest in you because it doesn't suit you any longer.

If you choose to make yourself a public figure beyond the game then there's good and bad that comes with it.

Dusty is doing a great job in building the enigma that is Dusty

Sometime in the future he will get a squillion dollars for giving a major interview to the leading media personality of that time....Jack Riewoldt

Fair enough, but why should he trust some of the clowns in the media to ask anything relevant or mature enough to warrant an interview with them?

I don’t blame him for having trust issues with most of them. You could just about predict what some of the questions would be. Most have no journalistic experience or ethics. They just want to think there’re the centre piece. Other media performers are just that, performers who would do anything for clickbait.

I don’t blame him for only giving a brief appearance post match. At least that limits the media clowns and fulfills his obligations.
If he wants to run around in his jocks or host q and a nights, that’s his prerogative.

I would say that his opinion of the media is largely a result of the situation with his dad being kicked out of the country and the coverage of it by the press. Obviously recent events made this situation much worse. I don't see him giving them anything at all in the future and nor should he.

Dusty is an all time Tiger legend. I love him. The end.

More than likely started with his first interview after being drafted. 30 seconds in n all he got was bugger the footy, just show us your tatts Dusty.

Fact of the matter is he can do as he pleases, he doesn't owe anyone anything & fulfils his obligations he has with the Club. I personally would be giving the media even less than he does given how they treat ppl within the game itself. As we saw with Bevo earlier this yr when he called out T.Morris they don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot.

"Dustin Martin not worth $1 million"

Two-time Geelong premiership forward Cameron Mooney says Dustin Martin is not worth a $1 million per-year salary.

Mooney’s years at the Cats left him with contempt of us. Another one who’s world view was shattered when we won flags.

For the full experience of Ray Shoesmith go and watch "The Magician" - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0461989/ then go watch seasons 1,2,3 of Mr Inbetween.

The very final scene is pure brilliance..besides Ray breaking the 4th wall!!

For me its Frontline, Mr Inbetween, Rake as best Aussie shows.

Who's wearing the #4 this year?

How's he going? I remember when he was good at football.

There is IMO a 79% chance that he'll wipe his arse with the competition this year. A 21% chance that he'll pass it clean.
