Dustin Martin
- Thread starter Rosy
- Start date
I think he should also be frustrated with the standard of footy he is dishing up himself. Needs to lift and provide onfield leadership when we are down on talent through injuries.
Edit
Just checked his stats, 10 handballs and only 5 kicks. Dusty kick the bloody ball, please.
At quarter time yesterday I thought here we go he's lifted in the absence of other senior players..but not for the first time this year he then switched off into cruise control.
It's definitely the elephant in the room. Is he injured still??

His ribs must be ok going by the bump he dished out when he gave away the 50 metre penalty.At quarter time yesterday I thought here we go he's lifted in the absence of other senior players..but not for the first time this year he then switched off into cruise control.

I wonder if Emma Murray not being around the club has effected Dustin and possibly others, I know how valued she was by the playing group and from what ive read Dusty was benefiting from meditation and Emma's methods.
Anyone know if Emma is still involved with RFC in any form and if not are there plans for her to return or at least work with individuals that wish to contract directly??

Queue media criticism for star football not taking football seriously and having the wrong attitude. Expect hard-hitting commentary from media heavy-weights Dermie, Lloyd, Barrett and Kane Cornes over the next 24 hours....
I hope they do. Martin is someone who seems to love pressure, as proven by his record. But I don’t think Barrett will start anything this week as we have his Norf Sellthem.
Needs to be more selfish. If Dusty can get it outside 50 and take pot shots from there, that will move the parked bus further out leaving more space in our fwd 50.,
He was conspicuously intense inside 50 in the last quarter.
He really wanted it. He was like a raging bull for about 10 minutes. It was obvious he had shifted gear above the shoulders.
Ive got no dramas with him keeping the teeth on that gear nice and square for the last 4 games of the year
yeah, but it was not its normal self. By chance, i had watched the 2017 Grand Final just before the game and i saw him in full "Rage" mode. Sunday was more a "F*** this *smile*" approach. It was effort without thought or composure. "im gonna take this game by the throat". Some players can just "switch the switch" - but they rarely do it from a standing start and based on rage - its usually more elegant than that.
He seems incredibly frustrated and a bit disinterested in the whole season - a lot fo our blokes do. So am I, so i cant be too critical. The club has a unique culture as it puts people/life first - but still has succeeded. For any sporting team, its bloody rare. Can anyone else name a team whose long term success has not been built on arrogance and an almost unhealthy "Michael Jordan-esque" obsession? Its the beauty to our success - its completely unique and the most impressive part of our flags.
Its telling that Rance left due to him doubting his ability to be the best man he can be, while also being a successful player. Its rare to see elite players quit for that reason - but its a side effect of our culture overall.
