Dustin Martin [merged]

If he is not committed don't play him.  Pretty simple really.

He was in the coaches box on Sunday, that seems pretty committed to me

said it for ages these media clowns need to step down from their job if once again proved false .
They make me sick, losers
I don't really listen to it anymore, haven't watched footy shows in years, unless it is Tiger related and then only rarely.
Love Dusty whatever!

When Dusty cannot tear apart a team like North Melbourne, you know he is cooked!!!
The club, players bla bla can say what they like.
When was the last game Dusty tore a team apart?

You miss the point as usual.

Dusty is 33 years old, if you’re expecting him to dominate games then I don’t know what to tell ya.

What he does deserve and what there has been a significant lack of some, you being the biggest example, is respect for all he has done and all he has delivered which is more than any of us in our wildest dreams could imagine and was worth every cent of his contract and more.

stuffen cooked

Dusty will retire at the end of the season IMHO.

Cant see him playing on anywhere

[Tiger Khosh]

If he does retire the club would be very very silly not to announce it the week before. 90k+ for his 300th, how many for his retirement game? Although we’re playing the suns from memory so maybe likely we couldn’t get the same amount.

Club can't announce it unless he tells them, no guarantee Dusty will do that 

[camboon]

Dusty wouldn’t  want the carry on , if he is true to form will announce it after the last game

[TigerLand]

Agree Dusty has had his limelight game, he wouldn't want another. At best he may announce it of the morning of the game and say goodbye after the game to the fans. Certainly won't announce during the week and create the media interest around it.

Dusty's future no clearer

Adem Yze is confident Dustin Martin will see out the season but is unsure what his future holds beyond the next three games

By AAP
4 August 2024

RICHMOND superstar Dustin Martin is committed to playing out the remainder of the season, coach Adem Yze says, amid ongoing speculation around his future.

After five weeks out with a back injury, Martin returned to action against North Melbourne on Saturday but couldn't lift the Tigers to a much-needed victory.

They sit bottom of the ladder with just two wins for the year after the 13-point defeat to the Kangaroos at Marvel Stadium.

Martin kicked 0.2 from 16 disposals and was lively early, but ran out of steam towards the end of the match.

It remains to be seen whether the three-time Norm Smith medallist will play on next season - either with Richmond or another club - or call time on his glittering career.

"We're always in ongoing talks and it was great to have him back in there today and for some of our younger players to play beside him," Yze said.

"His knowledge and the way he sees the game is really strong and for Steely Green to learn off him on the run is just going to be invaluable for him.

"But we're in constant dialogue with him about how his body's feeling and how he's going to finish off the season.

"He's committed to finishing off the season and whatever happens after that will happen."

Pressed on whether he felt Martin might extend his career, Yze could not give a firm answer.

"Not around whether he's going to go on or not - it's just around the fact he's got some energy to finish off the season," Yze said.

"That's all I can ask and he showed some of the old Dusty moves today.

"He was a bit frustrated that he couldn't finish some of his work, but he has had an interrupted couple of months really, so he got a little bit tired towards the end of the game.

"He'll be better for the run and we've got an eight-day break leading into the St Kilda game so we're really looking forward to him playing his best."
