Richmond Rant / Re: Dustin Martin [merged]
« Last post by one-eyed on Today at 12:24:26 AM »IIRC it was on the oval at Punt Road during pre-season training before he'd even played a game......
Correct a couple of days after he'd been drafted
Media there and all they wanted to see and talk about was the single tatt he had on his stomach
And after she spoke a few choice to the media Tony Jones from Ch9 had an almighty sook about it
On page 12 of this thread. From Nov 29, 2009, just after Dusty got drafted.
Story on the Herald-Sun site already.....
Uproar over Tiger Dustin Martin's tattoo
Daryl Timms From: Herald Sun November 29, 2009
RICHMOND clearly believes one high-profile player with emblazened tattoos is enough after cutting short inquiries on Dustin Martin's chest tattoos.
Martin has a large tattoo ''Live Free. Die Free'' inked on his chest and was repeatedly questions about it at a media call yesterday.
He said it was a motto followed him himself and his father, with the pair deciding to apply it to their bodies for life.
But when he was asked several times to lift his shirt by Channel Seven's Leith Mulligan a media minder stepped in, conscious of the club's image.A heated exchanged followed, with both sides unwilling to back down.
Ben Cousins continues to draw attention for his ''Such Is Life'' tattoo, but you get the feeling their no. 3 draft selection will be covering up at all times.

Ch 9 news tonight showed Martin's first RFC media conference and a journo asked to see his "live free, die free" tattoo on his stomach and the Club's media manager replied with "don't be effing ridiculous"
Ch 9 then showed pictures of Cuz shirtless with his "such is life" tatt being led away by the police and they said Cuz has something in common with Richmond's newest recruit

NCA Newswire
May 28th, 2024 4:17 pm
Former Carlton star Brendan Fevola has dropped a Dustin Martin bombshell declaring the Richmond goliath will retire as soon as he reaches his 300 game milestone and potentially move to the Gold Coast in 2025.
Martin, 32, is in the final year of a mega seven-year contract at Punt Road and has been linked to both a move away, possibly to the Suns, as well as pulling the pin entirely.
The triple-premiership star turned back the clock at the MCG last Saturday night booting three goals in Richmond’s narrow loss to Essendon in the Dreamtime clash as evidence he still has more in the tank.
But just two games away from becoming the seventh Richmond player to reach the 300-game milestone, Fevola said he had “mail” the Martin would end his career at the Tigers on the spot but just “temporarily”, before possibly resurfacing with the Suns and former coach Damien Hardwick.
“They want to play him at the MCG (against Hawthorn) for his 300th game. Dusty has been waiting for his 300th game. There’s a lot of rumours about him and next year, whether he will retire or play somewhere else,” Fevola told his Fifi, Fev & Nick radio show on Tuesday morning.
“My mail is that he will retire after he plays his 300th game. Say thank you to the Richmond fans after his 300th. Have a couple of months off. Get fit. Get his head right.
“His manager has been looking at real estate in the Gold Coast for Dusty to move up and rekindle his friendship with (Richmond premiership coach) Damien Hardwick, who now coaches the Gold Coast Suns.
“He’ll be getting paid a lot of money to go up to the Gold Coast, sit at full-forward, help those young kids; they’ve never played finals before in their history. So, they’ll get him up there and be the centrepiece of Queensland football.”
“I think the (Richmond) footy club already knows he’s going to leave. They know in their heart of hearts. So, they might say, ‘Hey mate, if you’re leaving – retire. We’ll give you a retirement game.’ He’s out of contract.”
The Tigers have won just a single game in 2024, which could hasten Martin’s exit.

Ex-Power ruckman Brynn Teakle, who has interest from multiple clubs including Richmond ... [has] also asked for a longer [18-month] deal.
The Tigers just lost Sam Naismith to a fourth ACL rupture after trading Ivan Soldo to Port Adelaide last year, with Samson Ryan backing up captain Toby Nankervis in the ruck at the weekend.
They are also keeping an eye on Hawthorn’s Next Generation Academy big man Iliro Smit, ...., with Richmond tipped to pick Peel Thunder intercept defender Jacob Blight or Collingwood VFL forward Jack Hutchinson.

Pick 2: Richmond
The Tigers' injury crisis worsened over the weekend with Tylar Young suffering an ACL rupture in the VFL, meaning the club has four selections. They're only set to use two of those picks, however.
Payne should be considered if North surprise at pick one, but it's more likely that Scaife or Jacob Blight are targeted here. Scaife would add much-needed key forward competition given Noah Balta's move to defence and Jacob Koschitzke's successful defensive swing in the VFL. Jacob Blight is the best key defender in the pool, with the 23-year-old Peel product taking 13 marks against the SANFL state side two weekends ago.
Former Power big man Brynn Teakle would provide ruck depth given Sam Naismith's heartbreaking knee injury, but the Falcons' Joe Pike could prove the better long-term prospect to eventually usurp captain Toby Nankervis.

« Last post by Damo on Yesterday at 10:54:08 PM »Was unlucky seeing el Nour go down. He appeared to be tracking well in the VFL.
Surely we will be looking at needs rather than potential to cover the rest of this year. Potential will come with round one pick this year.
Why?
stuff needs
We need to finish bottom two
Not improve and finish 14th or something ridiculous
Potential is surely a smarter long term option
Pick three and see if we can fluke one
