The footy world was delighted to see Dustin Martin back, but his return wasn’t perfect.

DISLIKES​

1. Dusty no-go

While Gillon and Co are in the States entertaining TV rights offers from global media giants – the most recent publicly disclosed deal was worth $2.5 billion – it’s ironic that the most fascinating name in football won’t talk to the media. Can you imagine the Yank TV execs (their brethren demand NBA players play on Christmas Day, mind you) being told they’ll need to cough up $3 billion for the rights but by the way the game’s best player won’t talk to you when you need him to? That’s what happened with Fox Footy on Saturday. The station contacted Richmond last week and said they’d like to talk to Martin before or after the game. The Tigers warned Fox that Martin wouldn’t talk. On the day, Martin was approached by Sarah Jones on the ground post-siren, where Martin waved her off, and then Nick Riewoldt, a mate of Martin’s, went down to Tigers rooms post-match, where he asked a Tigers media person to ask Martin for two minutes to answer two Dorothy Dixers. Like, what was it like to be back? Any message for the fans? It’s not known if said media person even asked Martin. It’s a funny world. The AFL is asking for billions and will get it, the players will ask for a billion in salaries and will get it – both paid by the TV rights – and yet Fox Footy asks for a minute and they get told no. You can understand why Martin would avoid a lengthy sit-down interview, but once you step on the ground, you can’t pick and choose. There are obligations to the broadcaster and to the game.
His obligations are to perform for his club. Not be “the face” for media outlets, regardless of where the money comes from.
His onfield performance draw the fans, not replying to some inane questions from a couple of media poonces.

I hope Dusty says “you want some of my time for a media performance, see my manager and pay an appearance fee ;)
Anyway Blobbo, Happy Hour has started, go put some froth on your nose.

Mr Magoo has had a crack at him for not talking to the media before or after the game.
I‘m surprised he was sober enough at 4.30pm in the arvo to notice anything

I actually watched this unfold after the game. It was embarrassing- Jones strode towards him like a groupie chasing her crush and whilst Dusty probably saw her coming he never waved her away. He was simply walking in the other direction to shake hands with the Lollingwood players. She then had a hissy fit thinking she was being ignored and went up to Cotchin and asked him to get him. Cotch didn’t help but then she settled on interviewing him. Self entitled Essendrugs mole obviously put in a compliant afterwards. Probably not used to getting a knock back lol

I don’t mind Dusty’s goal getting taken off him compared to how immense it felt to see him kick it.
It was awesome and an umpire blunder can’t undo that

Looks like another lesson to be taught by Jack to this *smile*.

What part don't Fox Footy get, he doesn't like media, you people have *smile* on him and he doesn't like you. Simple.

A champ is back. He needs space. Media are clueless.
He will be looking to tear a few teams apart.

Its why you know when Blobbo cries tears of sympathy for players with mental health issues it's fake. Here's a guy who's been off for 6 weeks with his mental health issues and plays his return game but doesn't want to talk about it and Blobbo cries that Dusty should've done media pieces. Oh Blobbo....

The extent to which Mark Robinson can get *smile* cannot be quantified without multiplying infinities.

I don't care if I never hear Dusty speak on camera again.

I celebrated every second he touched the ball.

What a heap of shitt.
What a shitt talker.
The biggest names in world sport
Snub the media
The NRL coach That looks like Santa Claus came to Australia and he refused to talk to media.
Alex Ferguson would go weeks ignoring the media.
Lewis Hamilton has done it.
Tiger Woods
Robbo doesn't want Richmond good news.

GAGF. I pay my money to watch Dusty and co play football. I couldn't give two *smile* if they didnt interview Dusty or any other player. I also have Kayo so I can watch the game and not all the *smile* fillers and crappy footy dribble like 360.

Not everyone is an extrovert, not everyone can be bothered with the same inane questions the media trot out game after game...and you just know they would try to get personal.
The greatest goal kicker the game has seen did no media and would answer questions by throwing crutches at the reporter.

What’s his opinion on Gary Ablett snr?
Lucky to get 3 words out of him in his playing career.
And Gary was the second best player I’ve ever seen.
