Actions speak louder than words.

Well Dusty never speaks but FMD he willed us over the line today for Jack and Cotch.

What a man.

Great idea, don’t think Dusty would be up for it though

"It won't be the first time that the Gold Coast Suns approach him." - Barrett.

With Damien Hardwick set to be announced as Suns coach this week, and Tigers champions bowing out, will Dustin Martin move on?

He’s matured a lot the past 24 months. He did fill in captain that one time so who knows? Maybe he’s ready Aragorn style? Return of the king damn it!!

[Tiger Khosh]

These dusty to suns links are the definition of lazy journalism. Person who has been his coach his whole career moves to Gold Coast so now player is interested. I guess it’s better than “dusty loves the city of Sydney” which was their basis for linking him there for the past few years.

I highly doubt any of these journos have any actual sources with Dusty’s inner circle.

what i dont understand is why doesn't anyone (apart from dimma) pull these dog media c.... apart over their alleged scoops? I wanted someone to ask parrot today how the stuff do you know, but of course no one did.

If he goes he goes who really cares after what he has done for the club onfield and off.

Will forever and a day go down as one of the top handful of players this club has produced and he has done it for close on 300 games.

If im honest going by Dusty's history no one really knows outside of dusty and maybe his manager what he is going to do.

Stay or go it doesnt matter either way his lagacy to this club will always be great.

The Tackle - Like #3: Dusty Dynamo

Jay Clark

21 August 2023

The game was about Jack Riewoldt and Trent Cotchin’s farewell.

But Dustin Martin was the lead character in Richmond’s win over North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday.

The argument goes that ex-coach Damien Hardwick shouldn’t bother calling Martin’s phone to check his interest in a possible move north to Gold Coast.

Martin is a Richmond man and all that. He could play 300 games in the yellow and black next season.

But, as Hardwick watched on from the MCG stands on Saturday, it would have been clear to him that Martin remains one of the most impactful players in the game after a blinder against the Kangas.

He bullied the Roos and kicked the Sherrin like he was using a three-iron off the tee.

And he only had eyes for Cotchin and Riewoldt all game.

If Hardwick asks the question, it would be about lifestyle for Martin.

Getting out of the Melbourne fishbowl. Enjoying some more sun and space up north.

Dusty loves Dimma. Hardwick may be a three-time premiership coach at Richmond but when he pulls on the Suns’ polo it will all be about what is best for Gold Coast.

Which is why it would be worth the phone call after the fresh reminder on Saturday that Martin is still capable of producing exceptional football.

Not sure the Suns are going to win a flag over the next few seasons even though they have improved a fair bit.

If Dusty goes id say he would go for success and another flag rather than to catch up with his old coach.

Dusty is going - you heard it here first

Noooooooooooooooooo!

Only if we net pick 4 or 2 x youngsters.  Happy to pay half his salary for a year. 
Yes he is 32, but what a marketing bonanza for the GC suns, worth way more than just his playing ability which he is still our best player. 
I still can't see him going to be honest.
