He’s a star. Been a privilege to see his career. Best I’ve ever seen & first went in person in 1980. Rance a close second best.

I love this description.
“Dusty, you are a freak!”, could’ve come after many moments in Richmond’s thumping 41-point win over the Western Bulldogs, but it came following perhaps his finest moment.
After a dominant performance for the Tigers and with the ball coming towards him and Jack Macrae, Martin dismissed the leading possession-winner, collected the ball, stood up without duress despite being swung 360 degrees by tough nut Laitham Vandermeer, dished off the ball, got it back near the boundary line, ran towards the boundary just inside the 50 metre arc and launched a drop punt straight through the middle.

Was an omen when he started slagging us off. Petracca is not fit to tie Dusty’s laces. That 3rd goal tonight was vintage Dusty.
Just a joy to be a supporter in Dusty's era. Viewing something out of this world. The salt he cops from jelly oppo supporters is priceless.
At the end of each of the past three Septembers, there has been no doubt who the best footballer in the country is. Yet, by the following March, someone is suddenly better than him. By June they accuse him of losing hunger. And in September he kills everyone again.
One day these clowns will wake up.
Dusty will never have another 2017. So what. Michael Jordan became the GOAT when he figured out his teammates could play; his job was to win. Dusty has that down.
It was worth three decades in the wilderness for this pay-off.

I love and never miss Kingsights gaffs, hadn't caught this one. Does anyone have video they can post, I'd like to play it every time I feel a little down.
Great post. Getting goosebumps thinking about it.
Just close your eyes for a moment and picture that - how's the roar!! That's joy right there.
There just isn’t a better player to watch in the AFL than Dusty in full flight. The second goal he kicked was just as good as the last. He’s back and we are all loving it!
BTW looks like he is over the rib injury...
He is like an old vintage Penfold.
You can open it, you can smell it but unless you taste it you will never know how good it is.
He is the best player ive seen.
Just in front of Castagna
