Dustin Martin

A good mate went down to Punt Rd today for a kick with his son and Ben Cousins with his.
Happy to report Dusty was there running laps and doing sprint training. Joined the boys for a kick and was in great spirits. Waiting for a report on his thoughts on Yze.

Wonder how Dustin will handle media having increased access to players, if the proposal is passed.

He’ll absolutely hate it. You just know the media will purposely hound him more than any other player in the league. Just to *smile* him, and the club off even more.

Dusty has elite talent yet demonstrates once again that talent alone will not make you the best. Hope the young blokes are watching and learning.

Under the new proposal, all players who were named for the previous week's game will be available to the media in the week following the match.
This could potentially mean Martin will be compelled to carry out regular media appearances.
Does this anyway. Don’t those few minutes of useless questions post game count? He can also appear and not say anything or give his usual yes/no answers.

They tried this in the US and it didn’t go over well with the players.

I remember watching clips of players answering all questions with a scripted response that went something like. I’m only because the NFL will suspend me if I don’t.
No other response was given. I don’t know how it was resolved or if they changed the rules but it was farcical and I’d hate to have it happen here

Just shows that the AFL see themselves as truely entertainment industry people, rather than game first, entertainment next
