Dustin Martin

[Fighting Fury]

Just on the defensive game of Dustin....I am loving the new "slap down" of the ball out of the opponent's hands. I could be wrong but I haven't seen this as a common tactic? He did it twice within 30 secs or so in the dogs game. Neat way to release the ball. By belting the ball out of the ball carrier's hands instead of going for the tackle, he twice effectively released the ball and took the ump out of the process.

Is it another Dustin trademark ?

hes been doing the kind of black fella basketball swat steal for ages. pretty sure he did a ripper on the PRE 50 in the '17 flag

 

[Fighting Fury]

yep

Yep, then across to Houli for goal #1 I think?
that was more a basketball bounce.
I like this new defensive 'don't argue'

Open the 50 up.
Play Martin one out.
Force Andrews to go to him.
Then Chol Jack and lynch will dine out.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Took on another wannabe contender. And once again Martin showed why he is the undisputed heavy weight champion.

 

[St Kevin]

Those two kicks are as good as you will ever see.

Give me 20 Dusty touches over 40 Neale touches any day of the week and twice on game day.

 

[tigerlove]

His kicking to position has definitely improved over time. He hardly misses anymore.

 

[ToraToraTora]

Every game now there is a new contender for one of the greatest passes of all time. It's ridiculous. Just making it sing atm.

It‘s a privilege to watch this bloke play. - even on TV

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Privilege to watch him play and we’re doubly privileged, because he’s one of ours. My Dad passed a few years before we drafted Dusty. He followed the Tigers all his life. Loved guys like Royce and KB, even Ian Stewart when he was with us. One of his favourites of all time was Mopsy Fraser. Much as I love Dusty, I always get just a little sad, because every time I see him turn it on, I think how much my father would have loved the guy.

Dusty...Richmond GOAT???...I'm beginning to think so

 

[ToraToraTora]

I've said it before Bird, if he can pull off another big finals series, lead us to the Triple P, it's enough for me. A 3rd NSM will not hurt his claim.

Dusty...Richmond GOAT???...I'm beginning to think so

The fact we're even having this conversation is revealing.

He could end up being the Richmond GOAT, simply amazing at times.

Tiger King at it again .... doesnt mind the Bears

 

[TrialByVideo]

Had a chuckle before the game lastnight listening to Healy and McClure. ...... if you're starting a team, who's your first pick..

Start off around the 3minute mark with the best player in the competition in the past 2 years.... according to McClure. .....

And up until the 11 minute mark where Healy so wants to annoint Fyfe and then declares Nic Nat as the greatest ruckman since Simon Madden!

Thank Christ someone ie; Leigh Matthews has a clue.

[Tigers of Old]

As his coach said last night he's the type of player who doesn't need many touches to change the shape of the game.
He is the epitome of a match winner.
Best player in the competition & the best I've seen in the yellow & black in 40 years of watching the Tiges.
Best of all he makes footy fun to watch.

 

[Feeling Tigerish]

im so grateful to have been alive to watch this guy play for the tigs. he's just so so bloody good.

Fit and he is killing it.
This is 2017 form

Not sure if he got a rocket last week for kicking that goal from the boundary but I thought he looked to give off too often last night. i would much prefer Dusty take a ping from anywhere within 65m than dishing off to Higgo 40m out.

Unless Higgo is totally alone within 30m. Then, he's still only a 50/50 chance. Back Dusty at 70/30 from near 60m range.
