Mr.T, we really do need a dislike button.
Maybe like a joker, you get to play it once a month or something?
Anyway, i play mine here.
Absurd, gossipy, uneneccesary, anti-richmond innuendo

Agree. Ive never understood the whole "hey everyone I know something you don't but Im not going to tell" mentality.
I believe this is another reason the club are incredibly proud of the man Dustin has grown into as well. The undeniable talent was always there, and just like with many young kids, taking the time and having the patience to work through the difficult teenage / early twenty years has certainly reaped the benefits for both Richmond, Dustin, fans, and football lovers in general.
Acknowledging the early difficulties is also a celebration of the pieces of the puzzle fitting into place beautifully - would Dustin have survived at a club other than Richmond, or with a coach other than Dimma, or without the teammates who saw Dustin's potential both from an ability and character perspective. Often times the unrealistic expectations we place on talented kids and the fishbowl existence of those talented kids in an AFL mad town like Melbourne would absolutely break lesser people. For Dustin, that fishbowl existence magnified into something very few of us would ever want to have to experience and yet he has endured and overcome the hiccups both major and minor, done his own self-reflection and continued to develop into the best version of Dustin Martin he can be.
Yes I know , and it probably went on a bit longer than a couple to be honest ,
But credit to our club for persevering, and helping get him to where he is today
okay, fair enough. I took it as you being scandalous. my apologies.
And that gossip came from a moderator!
Pretty poor effort by an administrator in my view.
If you get the chance, take the time to read the whole Dustin Martin thread - it makes for some interesting reading and there are a few posters of whom The Big Richo is one, who are now and have always been, supportive of Dustin right throughout his career.
So set me straight. how is implying
'Im in dustys inner sanctum and he did bad stuff that noone knows about'
helpful to dusty and the rfc and not just you big noting?
From the cheap seats, it looked like Cotchin was a big part in putting - and keeping - Dusty on the straight and narrow.
I like a good redemption story and this one happens to be ours. I just like watching him play in our jumper. Footy has some great stories like the Dusty story, we have another potential one in Marlion Pickett who spent some time in jail. It’s just great that our footy club can provide a culture where these guys feel accepted by the whole club.
You can always ignore if you disagree. You also have the right to report something if you feel it warrants it, ie. goes against the site rules.
We all have differing opinions and life experiences. We have all seen the transformation of Dusty and for the better.
Move on and let’s focus on the player and not his personal life.
I’m looking forward to a Dusty that will take over tonight’s game.
I don’t understand your response. You seem to be in an argumentative mood. Watch the game and chill.
Martin has had a slow burn season so far and now reaching peak form exactly the right time. Worth the big bucks we pay him
