Player Watch #4 Dustin Martin GOAT and King of Punt Rd - OFFICIALLY RETIRED

[Muddiemoose]

More importantly who has number 4 at the Gold Cost

Wonder what number he will get
Can’t imagine him playing with another number on his back let alone in that proxy red jumper

Just looked it up
Number 4 will be free because of Brendon Ellis pulling the pin

Illuminati confirmed

 

[Tiges1229]

He’s not retired as far as list lodgement is concerned
We still get compo so no need to melt

As I and a few others have mentioned the same thing happened with Hodge a few years ago

That’s not was said on the radio about jt and if I want to melt I will melt

 

[Daka]

This is awkward.

Club making a killing off the Retirement range lol, not sure this news will help the sales now.

 

[voorhees]

if he does ..he does
it's a new era for us and we need to move on and obtain new stars for our list.
It's his decision and legacy.
Still stand by he's cooked and can't do a full season anymore.

Dusty isn't going to comeback and play for peanuts after being on 1.5mill the past few seasons. Reckon he will still be on more than the league average, the only issue is do Suns have any cap space left and also the AFL secret herbs and spices comes into it and i can see them shafting us because of his age.

 

[Roachy8]

Not saying you are wrong, but imo this has been premeditated by Ralph Carr. no doubt in my mind.
It was them who went to the Suns apparently. also, despite him not being worth much he still might have triggered us compensation even if it was like a pick in the 40s. he is still rumored to be commanding a salary of 600-700k 2x.

Yeah - reckon Ralph has his fingerprints allover this - with Dusty retiring he loses 99% of his profile - not even sure of who else he manages anymore.
Even if this all a bit of a smokescreen and does not happen, there will be a few more weeks of will Dusty and wont Dusty speculation and all along good ole boot polish hair Ralphy will be lurking in the background....

 

[Cleansweep17]

Would be disappointing, still one of the legends of the club and I’d be happy to see him play again but removes him from the conversation as GOAT between him and KB for me if he goes

No statue

Statue at the MCG will have to do then.

Radio is wrong

Luke Hodge will need to be traded to or drafted by Brisbane Lions, expected to play less than full season in 2018

Lions’ Hodge expectations, how move gets done

[Lunchtime]

No thanks.

Then that's a reflection on you and how over emotional you are. It is what it is.

 

[Cleansweep17]

How do you older gents feel about Ian Stewart in regards to his standing in RFC. He’s an immortal I think.

 

[Daka]

the campaigner shouldve done the right thing by the club so we get compo

so much for loving the club

Should have traded him last year if there was any inkling he wanted out, after almost AA season.
People might want to look up what the Suns got for Ablett Jr at a similar age for trading him back.

A semi full of brown paper bags with AFL written on the side has just arrived at the Gold Coast Suns.

 

[dwwaino]

I'm sure it's only a coincidence that he sat out the remainder of the season to be rested for next year like the contracted coach who burnt out only to sign for the same club months later.

There'll be plenty of cheap dusty merch going up on FB marketplace tonight

I can’t believe we haven’t had anyone post a video of themselves burning merch while scream-crying in the background.

situation?), will not be a free agent in that relevant year.

Interesting rule here so based on that dusty/ suns would be too facilitate a trade ?

 

[voorhees]

doesnt paint a nice picture of yze when you consider we also offered dusty a contract for 2025

there was the talk that he wanted out at the end of 23'.
only stayed to finish the contract and knowing we would hold him to it.

 

[tropicaltiger]

David Schwartz has entered the chat

ox walking into work today

 

[Roachy8]

This stinks to high heaven!!

I won't hate him but this will leave a sour taste.

Dusty retired 3 weeks ago, full of emotions we all felt it.
He did a lap of honour, we cheered him off. He did a lovely speech.

Dimma up to his old dirty tricks!!!
As if this wasn't planned.

& Dimma was on the MCG at the end to give Dusty a hug - probably slipped him a USB with a contract on it the prick.

why didnt we cash in

the club has been fukt since the end of 2020

 

[JackNah_8]

Dimma should be never allowed to set foot in the place again. Nobody has done more damage to a club inside of 18 months in afl history. Thanks dickhead

Dimma only cares about himself. Selfish.

They’ll give us pick 1000 and we’ll take it

Club should of traded him after Robinson ****ed him up off the ball.

This changes things. Didn't know this rule existed.

Probably just means Dusty gets incorporated into the Rioli trade and we get a bit more.
