1. A four-quarter Dusty effort is needed

DUSTIN Martin prowled the MCG with his usual gusto in the opening term on Saturday and earned ten possessions as Richmond made a bright start against Collingwood. But once again, that was where his contribution started and ended. Martin ended with just 17 possessions for the afternoon and it is becoming the tale of the tape for the precocious youngster - blinding first halves and quiet second halves. The Tigers are delighted with his growing maturity off the field, but what they need from Martin is a bit more petrol in his tank. Against the really good teams, Martin has to be a four-quarter contributor. He was nowhere to be seen in the third term on Saturday when the Pies slammed on eight straight goals to take control of the match. - Ashley Browne

Martin on a mature path
By richmondfc.com.au
Friday, June 7, 2013

The growing maturity of Richmond’s young gun midfielder Dustin Martin was evident in an interview on Fox Footy show “AFL Insider” this week.

“I think I’ve learnt, over probably the last year, that your professionalism has to be right up there, and I think I’ve taken that to the next level for myself,” he said.

“Having ‘Choco’ (Mark Williams) come in (as a Club development coach), has been really good for me.

“My preparation’s the best it’s ever been . . . lifestyle and training standards – even just sitting down with Choc each week and going through my game and doing the opposition (analysis) moving forward.  It’s just a lot of little things.”

Tiger passion

[Hellenic Tiger]

Was great today.
Showing more ticker and loving being out there.
That break away early in the last and the Dusty fend off to hit Ty on the chest was brilliant.

Love that first one where he shoves Rutten out of the way and stops him from getting to Jack.
Yeah Dusty - pushes trucks around.
