This bloke wouldn't be in the top 50 bad dudes Dusty knows. I'd much prefer he says ''G'day" has a 20 minute beer/chandy/cocktail wiht him then snub him. Dusty might not know who the 23rd President of the United States was but he's be street smarter than 99%.

Crooks and footballers, older tale than Cain and Able. Always have been linked always will.
Sometimes they’re one and the same.

BS. Martin lays down in key games and we don't make the 3 GFs let alone win them. This guy might be betting on Richmond to miss top 4 or Geesook to win the GF. Its called manipulating the result to make the outcome you are betting on more likely than the betting market is predicting. Its how the big punters make big coin.

You Can't make a bet bigger then 10k in Australia without raising eyebrows.

I wonder what the AFL Integrity Unit would think about the people DM catches up with when he goes home to see his dad?
This catchup in Sydney is obviously not a good look but was anyone trying to hide anything?

After Dusty's exploits this year, he is the marketing flag bearer for the AFL. You only have to see the above photo montage to realise how symbolic he has become for the league.

The AFL marketing folk including Gil will be all over this issue and looking to keep a lid on it.

Noticed he now has largest insta following in AFL , 335k , afl would be sensitive to that publicity being good publicity

According to media reports Flanklin had no idea who the bloke was n didn't hang around all that long. So he musta been Dusty's new bestie.
Been dodgy characters hovering around the fringes of champion footballers n even the ordinary ones ever since the game was invented.
Now that the games got all professional n media cockaroaches make their living hiding in players undies, it's of course completely verboten for any professional sports person to have any association whatsoever with anyone who is not of puritan n holy character.

Doesn't matter to the flogs in suits what your life background might be. Once you sign your first contract your *smile* is no longer allowed to stink in any way shape or form.

Despite there being no evidence of any wrongdoing arising from Martin’s relationship with Mr Hayson, it won't stop the media trying to smear him. The media doesn't like winners!

Media have treated this very lightly actually

The AFL media don't like us.

This may not be a smearing. Perhaps it's a police warning. Not warning Martin primarily, but Hayson.

So AFL fans would know that NRL is not to be laid? Would understand that bookies will not lay on NRL games? And would understand why?

In the reporting of the problematic games - bad hands. And we've seen cricket matches like this. International. Bizarre failures at crucial times.

AFL is not considered rigged. (Yes, there is percentage playing.) But we don't rig matches.

If you are banned for betting AFL it's because you're good at betting. Not because you rigged the game. Or bowled for those who did.

Most AFL fans would have no idea how poisonous NRL is. And I include Dustin Martin in the innocent here.

So The Age (Channel9) is still using Nick McKenzie as an investigative reporter and he is all over this. N. R. L.

Dusty gets the money. He has to play the game. Not AFL. The money game.

Dining with match-rigging identities is the other game.

Mais. Non.

Those around Lance Franklin have put daylight between Lance and this.

Dusty might need a minder if he can't handle the PR stuff. A lot of geniuses do.
