De Goey tired of 'Kmart Dusty' label (zerohanger)
« on: September 30, 2021, 06:23:31 PM »
Speaking on The Unlaced Podcast, De Goey said the comparisons between him and Dustin Martin following his breakout [2018] season were tiresome.

"It peees me off," the Magpies spearhead said.

"I was a kid and I had one good year and all of a sudden it was like '[Dusty] kicks goals and he's a powerful kind of guy'.

"I started doing a little bit of that and I was showing glimpses of that, then all of a sudden someone puts this label on you and people read about this, and then they judge you on that... it's just like all this unneeded stress.

"The amount of people that will be like 'oh he's a Kmart Dusty, he can't even tie Dusty's shoelace', I get so much funny poo like that.

"Then I'll play a good game and then they'll be like 'oh actually you're alright, you're not too bad'."

The Magpies gun put light on the unfair juxtapositions that impacted him in just his fourth season in the AFL.

"You're being compared to the f**king best bloke in the game and I'm 21, 22 (years old).

"You're kidding yourself if you ever think I'm going to be anywhere near him at that age."

4th time lucky?!  ::)



Collingwood culture = just 2 flags in the past 60 years  ;D.

Seriously though, aside from the fact De Goey is fortunate he didn't injure or kill another road user,

1. He previously lied to his Club about his broken hand.
2. Came back unfit for this preseason (according to teammate Tyson Goldsack).
3. Now caught drink driving.

If the Pies were serious they would sack him. 3 strikes you're out! But with Eddie & Buckley under so much pressure to turn things around onfield, I won't hold my breath. They would've been counting on De Goey being a key player for them this year.

A gift that just keeps on giving

A selfish, arrogant and incredibly stupid individual

Should be sacked but won't be

Feel for Craig Mcrae. Welcome to Collingwood Fly.

If by chance he does get sacked

Never want him anywhere near Punt Road

The AFL endorses the Collingwood Football Club‘s decision to stand down player Jordan De Goey after he was arrested and charged overnight in New York.

Collingwood has kept the AFL informed over the course of the day and the AFL’s Integrity Team will continue to work with the club in regard to the incident.

Well he is not Kmart Dusty anymore. He is now Jailbird Dusty. Sad state of affairs.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office has dropped a charge of forcible touching, but the 25-year-old is still facing a charge of assault when he is next due in court in the United States on December 8.

Jordan De Goey's manager says the Magpies star doesn't have an alcohol problem or anger management issues.

De Goey's next overseas trip must be to Egypt.

No wonder he's a repeat offender when those around him remain in denial.
