I reckon Dusty will be selected (in part) because the AA selectors want to be on the right side of history - it sounds much more appropriate that one of the best players in the history of the game - was a 5 time AA. Especially since the appalling decision to omit him in 2019. Contemporaries Buddy, Danger and Ablett have 8 each , Judd has 6 - Dusty should have at least 6.

One of the things i really rate about Martins game is how he sets up play with a handball. Players always go into "derp im going to be the one who gets HTB against Dusty derp" so there is almost always a spare player... and he exploits that more often than not.

Its that ability that only the elite have. Pendles is another current player that does it as well.

We finished last & ended up with pick 6 (Conca) ha ha

What a joke
They had some king sized bad misses, Dodoro type misses.
Blind nice misses..Trengrove & Scully before Martin.
That's surpassed Tambling over Franklin and Fiora over Pavlich.
The AFL rocked them to sleep during the early part of the 2010's
We were compared to Fitzroy and we got Jack shoitt to help us.
That's why I'm soooo happy with us.
Yep. From memory Jack Shoitt never played a game, despite the media hype...
 
Rampaging bull of old.

Has come into some serious form, which supports the theory he was carrying.

Based on the last six weeks, he stays and is made captain.
Still has foot trouble i reckon. His kicking is not on song. But he is moving well so whadda i know?
 
Our boys have to do so much more to get a look in.
Aston Martin is the present day equivalent of Dale Weightman.

(Yeah he won Chaz but had to have a Lethal Leigh type Year to win it)

The Fleabag was often first picked for Victoria (and Captain) but didn't win too many individual awards.
When compared to others the argument was:
Well Richmond are never in the Finals so we picked Finals players.

2023.
Marcus "MyShitDon'tStink" BontEmPelli.
Wins anything he goes near.
Last time I looked at the ladder they missed the Finals:

Oh that don't matter. He's the best player.
We changed the criteria.
We like the Bullies, GeeSook, anyone. Just not the Tigers.

Feel Sorry for Asto.
He gets dudded because of Bias.
The Richmond Bias is still alive and well.

CornHole.
Gaddy.
Mince.
Blobbo.
The Bristle.
