Martin to miss Adelaide clash

By Richmond Media
4 June 2024

Richmond coach Adem Yze today confirmed that Dustin Martin would not play in Thursday night’s clash against Adelaide in Adelaide.

The 32-year-old, who has featured in Richmond’s past eight games, will instead be managed.

“The decision’s sort of been made for us," Yze said in his press conference on Tuesday morning.

"He’s a bit crook today. We’ve only got one training session.

"It was always going to be based on how he got through today, but he’s actually ill today, so that’s taken out of our hands.

“He’ll miss this weekend and the silver lining to that is the fact that he’ll get to play his 300th in front of our crowd against the Hawks next week.

“We’re disappointed that he’s not available for this week, but for our supporters and our Tiger Army, they’ll get to see him (play his 300th next week), which will be great.”

Richmond’s Round 14 clash at the MCG is against Hawthorn at 4.35pm.

Public ridicule, lost a best mate and now walks around with a girl who spread her legs to the husbands best mate is hardly winning IMV. Each to their own. 

He is a flog of the highest order and I would listen to Kane Cornes before old mate Gaz any Day

Round 13 Blowtorch

Tigers’ burning question: Is Dusty’s 300th more important than an elusive win?

It might sound outlandish to say, but the Tigers aren’t playing Dusty in Adelaide this week could be costing them one of their best shots yet to win a second match this year. With opposition captain Jordan Dawson not at 100 per cent as well as Taylor Walker and Matt Crouch missing through injury, the Crows are even more vulnerable than they were against Hawthorn last week. Additionally, the Tigers were valiant in defeat against the Cats down in Geelong – often a very hard task for any club that’s fully fit; let alone as depleted as Richmond are.

So the question begs, have the Tigers – perhaps indirectly – suggested that Dustin Martin playing his 300th game at home is more important than a genuine chance of an away win against Adelaide? We’ll never truly know, but hopefully for Richmond’s sake they can get into the three-time Norm Smith medallist’s milestone game in winning form.

What a champion, can’t wait!

That video reminded me of how he got into danger in the 2020 GF after he took that massive dive to win a free kick. How good!

Who’s better, Dusty or Gaz? Here’s what the man who’s played with both thinks

By Steve Barrett
The Age

Dusty or Gaz?

The tattooed Richmond hero or the shaven-headed Geelong and Gold Coast master?

Dion Prestia – who was two-time Brownlow medallist Gary Ablett’s right-hand man for six seasons as an inaugural Sun, before riding shotgun to triple Norm Smith medallist and 2017 Brownlow winner Dustin Martin over the past eight years – can’t split the pair.

After missing the Tigers’ drought-breaking eight-point win over Adelaide on Thursday night, Martin is set to return for next Saturday’s round-14 clash against Hawthorn at the MCG where he will become the seventh Richmond player – after Kevin Bartlett, Jack Riewoldt, Jack Dyer, Trent Cotchin, Shane Edwards and Francis Bourke – to play 300 VFL/AFL games.

“I used to split them [Martin and Ablett] but now I just love that I played with both of them,” Prestia said after the win over the Crows.

“Gaz was amazing in his own way and Dustin has done his own thing.

“To see Dustin do what he’s done over the last eight years has been unbelievable.

“I don’t like comparing them ... I just like celebrating how good both of them are and were. I’ve been lucky enough to play with two of the best players of all time.”

Prestia, who successfully requested a trade to the Tigers in 2016, admitted to feelings of apprehension about meeting the mysterious Martin for the first time. But from that initial anxiety a strong bond has blossomed, on and off the field.

“When I got to the club I was a bit nervous to meet him because I didn’t know what he was like, which is kind of similar to everyone,” said Prestia, who was confident of being available for the milestone match despite nursing a sore calf after the Crows clash.

“I’ve become really close with Dustin. Once you’re in his circle and close to him, he’s an absolute ripper. He’d do anything for all the guys in his close circle.”

Richmond coach Adem Yze joked that after Thursday’s victory – the Tigers’ first since stunning Sydney on Easter Sunday – he couldn’t guarantee Martin would slot straight back in.

“We did win, so he might have to come back through the VFL,” the relieved first-year coach said with a laugh.

“In all seriousness, it’s a massive week for our club and one that we want to celebrate. He’s one of our greatest players. We do that really well at our footy club – celebrate our people.

“We’ll have an amazing week leading up to it. We’re not going to shy away from the fact we want it to be a big spectacle, and we want to play well for him.”
