Dustin Martin [merged]

[WA Tiger]

Well lets keep this football related please, without snide remarks, honestly please rise above the rubbish.

I honestly feel that Dustin has been unfairly treaded as a footballer comparative to the draft picks that went above him. Scully and Trengove have done far less than Martin IMO in the years since the draft.

While Dustins disposal was apparently lacking the other night he clearly got enough of it. First game so I think he will improve.

I honestly feel that as a footballer he will be elite, I think he will improve on 2011 this year, he will become and extremely important pert of our team and one that other teams find hard to stop.

This kid will become a match winner, he has the smarts and the talent, with Choco working with him he will develop quicker.

Go Dustin, at pick 3 you have already proved to be better than both Scully & Trengove.

reckon he's going to unleash beastmode this season

[Rampstar]

Dustys gonna ram his knob so far up the critics and the morons its not funny. Dusty is gonna have a great year IMHO. Minimum 17 votes in the Brownlow - absolute Minimum. Kids a superstar!

Without naming the player or club, Jon Ralph on SEN this morning mentioned there is a rumour going around at the moment which is definitely not true and is causing frustration to the player in question.

The club involved has contacted the relevant authorities to enquire about the rumours and have been told there is nothing to them. The club is now pretty peeed off about the rumours and the constant badgering.

Was at the Capital Tigers (Canberra RFC supporters group) last night and heard from within the club that although Dusty went off track a while back he is right in the zone now, and Chocca is doing really good stuff with him. These are just rehashed stupid rumours from ages ago that mean nothing, except people with the IQ of a bug and the empathy of a mosquito have too much time on their hands.

Further affirmation that these rumours going around and being rehashed are made-up crap!

I hope the wankers here who keep bringing it up here are happy, dusty is peeed and ready to eat his way through a brick wall 
And I hope this isnt going to affect his effin playing either!!
It was probably an essendon knob who started the rumour to take away attention however plenty of richmond knobs pretending they know someone who knows someone who pretends to be in a circle of trusted friends with someone who is a cousins, brothers sisters former room mate... sheeesh 

FIRE UP TIGERS!!

You're all a pack of nut huggers TBH.

TBBH you'v hugged the odd nut yourself but back on topic I saw Dusty at the Portsea pub 2 weeks ago with McG, Kingy and Jackson, do you recon they were all canceling each other for the inevirtable

Who said Ralph was talking about Dusty?

[torch]

I honestly hope these are just rumours. Why can't Richmond come out and deny any rumours?

[Yeahright]

Bit like the Armstrong one was until he finally admitted it 

No winking about it. It's all made-up garbage. Even Jon Ralph said last time it was all rubbish. This time it was obviously crap as we had a couple of tryhard losers on twitter rehashing the same old crap via fake media accounts trying to pretend it was "breaking news" . 

 

The wink was more of "stir" at WP post because of the whole Armstrong saga, not actually trying to imply Dusty has done anything.

[Coach]

Are the rumours about Dusty?

Pretty obvious he was each time this topic has come up when hes on the program. Even our own supporters constantly insinuate he's on very thin ice and has been off the rails. Its a massive beatup and our own supporters are as much to blame for the constant innuendo as anybody, probably more so, soft target for the general public when own supporters are having sly digs

If the player and club are as peed off and frustrated by the comments as Ralph suggests then how hard is it for the club to fix?  Get on the front foot, call a press conference, say the club and player are aware of the rumours and there is not one shred of truth or evidence to any of it and then follow it up with something like "the club is exploring legal options if the rumours persist or people make any further public comments".  Not hard to kill it I would have thought - maintaining a silence when the whole AFL world is whispering is only giving it legs!  Well, not hard to kill unless they aren't as confident of their position as they would like to be.

A Richmond supporter wouldn't write this! I'm shocked. No, I'm outraged!
