The GOAT.

Worth every bloody penny.

Just a joy, a privilege, and an honour to watch him play. It’s like watching Michael Jordan play basketball, or Marlon Brando act.

Undoubtedly the best finals player of this era, probably all time. Left Dangerfield in his wake - literally. Absolute champion. Love that he tucks the Normie away too. Only cares about the premiership

Danger - went missing in the biggest game of his life
Dusty - 3 Premierships, 3 Norm Smiths.

Enough said, the media need to get over this drivel that Danger is Dustys equal.

Difference was Clangerfield still playing for frees in the 4th Q
While Dusty was kicking goals

What made the last goal so sweet was breaking the Dangerfield tackle. So poignant!! Let there be no doubt, the best in the AFL, and the best finals player ever.

Put the team on his back and willed us to it. Freak goal before half time so crucial. GOAT conversation.

He put the team on his back and won us the game. Those goals were ridiculous. Has to be known now as the best finals performer ever, no question.

Wow. He is Jordan like with his desire to influence a game. Just decides I'll try a bit here, and magic happens. He is an absolute freak.

I'm sure many of us remember Matty Knights kicking 3 extraordinary goals against Essendon in a final at the MCG in 1995. I never thought I would see any more skillful goalkicking efforts in a final but Dustin Martin tonight just made me shake my head in disbelief. Absolute freak.

Had a couple of foreign guys here watching their first ever AFL match. Dustys goal in the last where he just snatched it off the GFC boys turned and out it through from the boundary blew them away. Both jumped to their feet and asked "did you see that?!?!?"

We've got two more supporters, we'll, Dusty has.

Forget GAblett senior, forget W Carey, Forget R Barassi, forget G Ablett jnr, Forget L Matthew’s.........

In the hardest era, the most scrutinised, the most equitable, etc, etc.......

Dusty has shown again and again that he is the greatest of all time!!!!

Everyone’s already said it all.... I just wanted to get into the act!

And not just 4 goals..... 2 superb goals, 1 awesome goal and 1 absolutely out of the freaky stratosphere that makes other player stop and gawk.

Simply amazing.
