Where will Dusty sit among the greats if he repeats 2017?

No player had ever won a Brownlow, Norm Smith and premiership medal in the one season until Richmond's Dustin Martin pulled off football's triple crown last September. He was unstoppable as opponents could not tackle him (until he dropped his guard late in the grand final and was caught holding the ball), which allowed him to be damaging with hand and foot. With at least seven years ahead of him at Richmond (and on a streak of 72 consecutive games), he now starts the chase to join Kevin Bartlett, Francis Bourke and Jack Dyer as one of the Tigers' greatest. Hungry, Saint Francis, Captain Blood and Dusty has a nice ring to it.

Captain Blood would have absolutely loved to watch Dusty play. You could just imagine him calling the games..... :cheers
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.
