He spoke very highly of the RFC. Has a great relationship with Hartley.

He said that Bolton isnt going anywhere!

And Adelaide and North both offered Martin $11m over 7 years during 2017. He said he talked Martin into staying with us because we are a better run club and more opportunity to make money later in his career. The turning point for Martin was the last H&A game in 2017 against St. Kilda when the Richmond supporters gave him a standing ovation.

Was a very interesting interview, in Ralphy we trust, done a sensational job for Dusty but also responsible for keeping him at Richmond.
I will post the interview once podcast is up.

In terms of Dusty's greatness. Who has dominated 3 finals series like Dusty has? Not just dominated but won games so emphatically and bossed every game. Every game.

I recall hazily Gary Ablett Snr in that amazing finals series and kicking 9 in a losing GF. But it was one series.

Darren Jarman had some special finals moments but nothing in the same league.

Ayres, Hodge and McLeod have two NS's, but not one of them came close to his dominating feats.

Anyone know what Lethal's actual records were in finals?

Kevin Bartlett? I vaguely know he dominated the 1980 finals series. Is he comparable?

Also need to keep him mind in the 90's and before you had full-forwards who kicked 100+ goals, and there was more room for individual goal-kicking brilliance.

I feel so bloody lucky to have experienced Dusty for over 10 years now, we really have been blessed.

Bartlett read the game so well, it is something you notice in great players. He was a wiry guy too but they would smack him down and he would just get up again.

Dusty reads it so well too, the timing he showed intercepting the handball to kick that goal on Saturday was great.

The lead up to Dusty's 4th goal was Stanley in a nutshell. Panicked and dropped an easy mark 15 metres out from our goal. The panicked again and gave it up to Dusty for the remarkable goal.

Bog average footballer is Stanley. I laughed and laughed when people brought up the fact that he and Rohan weren't playing when we beat them in round 17.

Stanley is the anti-Nankervis. Did you notice Lynch and Riewoldt get stuck into him after Castagna wobbled through his goal?

Yeah I did see that. Anti-Nankervis is a great description. Anti-Soldo as well.

Dwayne Russell yesterday called Stanley a "fighter" o_O. Nearly drove off the road.

He is anything but.

Now now boys. Poor old Stanley will feature in greatest goals of the 2000s clips for the next 20 years. And not in a good way.

You're all assuming it was Stanley's idea to give the handball to Clangerflop. Clangerflop being Clangerflop, I wouldn't be surprised if Dusty knew where it was going because Clangerflop was shouting "Give it to me! Give it to me! I'm better than you and the cameras are watching so give it to me!"
