He's cooked, his skills have dropped to sub VFL level level. Used to hit targets and goals with is eyes closed.. no longer, more often misses targets than hits them. F his 300, doesn't deserve a game ATM. Reminded me of Dangerfield today, got plenty of ball but snuffed most kicks

This rambling is unhinged. If there is any other intention other than to be funny or to pee people off, please seek help.

Dustin Martin is not only an icon of our club and sport but one of the biggest reasons our dreams came true in 2017. He has a golden ticket for life. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.

Let's also not let emotion get in the way of facts. 9 games ago he was absolutely robbed of an All Australia jacket. The man is also 32 years of age playing a role for 300 games of contested ball, don't argues and gut running. He is allowed to come down from his peak and enjoy his twilight. Don't get caught up in the media rubbish who finally after 300 games can take a whack at Dusty who has been untouchable on field for nearly 10 years. They hate him not speaking with them so he is enemy number 1 when it suits. After a couple of quiet games is actually laughable by all involved.

We will not turn on Dusty. The greatest club in the comp, our club will back the greatest of the modern era all the way to the end.

Go Tigers!

You have none of those things.

You live in a one bedroom apartment and most likely spend your days posting on here and drinking out of goon bags, watching the Bold & The Beautiful while only wearing underwear which probably has holes in them.

I'm embarrassed at how much I laughed at this post.

Dustin Martin not talking to Richmond coach Adem Yze about future just yet

Speculation is intensifying over whether Dustin Martin will stay or go at Richmond and his coach has revealed when those talks will happen.

Talks about Dustin Martin’s future have been shelved for a later date, but Richmond coach Adem Yze insists his veteran superstar is walking around the club “with a smile on his face” as speculation intensifies and his seven-year contract nears its end.

Martin, 32, a triple premiership winner, and three-time Norm Smith medallist, is battling a form slump that mirrors his team’s fortunes, with the Tigers winning just one of Yze’s opening nine games in charge.

Exits from the premiership era started with a trickle but have turned in to a flood, with chief executive Brendon Gale jumping ship to helm the new Tasmanian team in the wake of retirements of former teammates Trent Cotchin and Jack Riewoldt and best and fairest Liam Baker being linked with a move back to Western Australia.

Martin’s great mate and former captain Cotchin this week questioned whether the Brownlow medallist had the “energy” to get up every week for a team destined to finish at the bottom of the ladder.

“He’s definitely capable of it – I just don’t know if, (given) the place he is in right now, whether he’s got the energy to do so,” Cotchin said on Talking Footy.

“It’s hard to comment too far on what he’s going through, but since his old man passed away, it’s been a challenge for Dusty.”

Gale, who will see out the 2024 season, said he still harboured hopes that Martin, who is on the verge of playing 300 games in yellow and black, would re-sign with the club and finish his career at Punt Road.

“Our preference will be that he stays at this football club and becomes a Tiger for life,” Gale said this week.

“He’s an icon of our club and the game.”

Amid ongoing links to his former coach Damien Hardwick, now helming the Gold Coast Suns, Martin was still “buying in” at the club, Yze said.

But he conceded talks about Martin’s future were out of his hands for now.

“Those discussions will happen later in the year,” Yze said on Thursday.

“We just want him training well and enjoying his footy, and that stuff will get finalised later in the year.

“Right now, he’s walking around with a smile on his face, he’s helping our younger players that I’ve spoken about the last few weeks and he’s really buying into our program.”

Martin has played 296 games for the Tigers, and seven of nine so far in 2024 after battling a calf issue earlier in the season.
