Gotta love the clip starting at 0:39. Great play until Caddy's questionable hand-ball. Bounces of the hands of two players, straight to Martin. Goal.
Chaos personified.

Bit disappointed Martin's second quarter goal in the 2019 GF didn't make the cut.

When you watch this it is a reminder of what an astonishing footballer Dusty is.

I was at so many of those games and seeing them again all together it makes me realise how much I have missed the roar of the Tiger crowd and being a part of the awesome atmosphere at those games

I was just thinking the same, reading another thread about our upcoming draft picks and how we can possibly regenerate while we stay on top.

As good as our squad is, without Dustin I'm not certain we would have won any of the flags.
possibly, how about we take Dusty out and then take the best player out of Adelaide, GWS & Geelong GF sides & then what ??

We still win em all

yes that's a good point. I remember the recent comment of the outgoing Geelong president that if it weren't for Dusty they might have won a couple more flags but I think that is underselling the rest of our team. If you look at our win in 2019 it was actually Lynch who was the star in the prelim as an example. We won in 2017 against them by 51 points and as good as Dusty was that night he isn't worth 51 points.

Would we have won in 2020 without Dusty? Probably/maybe but it doesn't matter anyway because he played and we won.

Role player.....well that's what I tell my pies&blues mates acquaintances. ... his role is to be a superstar and he does it to a T!

Yep absolutely ridiculous comment by the Geelong president. If they think that Dusty is the only reason we win flags then shows how much they understand:rolleyes:.

But that's okay, as long as they keep thinking like that we will have their measure as our other (unheralded) stars get under their guard and under the guard of the football world as a whole.

I think you just heaped more misery on Dees fans TBR following their ill fated draft selections in 2009 :mhihi

Yeah . . . but we do have Dustin.

Every team which wins a few flags has stars, Martin is exceptional, but we recruited him and we developed his talent.

Not saying we could have done the same thing with another player but there are good reasons why Richmond have the best player going around at the moment.

I don't want to mention the 'l' word again and create another storm, but here's something to give everyone nightmares.

If we'd had pick 1 or 2 we would have 1000% certain picked Scully and Trengove.

Praise Allah we had pick 3 I suppose.
