Ohhhh Dustin Martin, you are the love of my life.
I feel like we are already starting the goodbyes. Who knows. When I think of Dusty and the dyansty, I think my fav was Jack but I feel it's cause Dusty as a fav is so cliche, he just was so damn good. I feel a real sense of gratitude as a 40 year old watching footy for the first time in the late 80s, early 90s and hearing about how good KB was, how good Francis and Hart were and for a long time we had nothing until Matthew came along and took us all on his shoulders for so long. Watching Dusty, I now know what it feels like when the generation before me talk and felt about KB and Bourkey. For that I feel so grateful, cause for so long it felt like I would never fully understand and witness any of that. So it's actually been a privilege to support and cheer him on, what a journey.
Watching that video, my most vivid Dusty memories is the goal vs Cats in 2020 where he snapped over his shoulder at the very end. This was just a pee take of genius, power, strength, skill and big stage player all in one. To this day, the most underated GF moment in history. Because it was Dusty, because it was our 3rd flag and because the game had only a few seconds left, absolutely insane gameplay by Dust.
