Yep and against Eddie when he was a Ch 10 reporter. Even better.

Or Bruce Doull. Famous for not speaking in public. This is the problem wth a lot of the football media, they seem to think that the off field gossip they report on and the interviews they do with the players are what people want. It’s not. People want to see the stars of the game doing what they do best on the field, not talking to someone like Robinson about it. That’s what he and others in his profession want because it increases their profile.
Hey blobbo.. Dusty doesn’t owe YOUR employer anything. Foxfooty paid for the rights to show games of football. Dusty put on a game for YOUR employer. He isn’t obligated to do anything more for you. He is employed by the Richmond Football Club. They pay him big money because that’s what they think he is worth. He has proved over the past 5 years that he is worth whatever they have paid him. The RFC has benefited many times over from their investment. They understood why he needed time away and respected his decision. Why don’t you? While it would be nice for his fans, supporters and members to hear from him, he is under no obligation to talk to us. He owes us nothing. The majority of us respect that. We are satisfied with him doing his talking on the field over 4 quarters on the weekend. You also have a very short selective memory. I still have saved on my Foxtel box, “Nick & Dusty- One on One”. He had no problem talking to your network about footy. You want him to talk about his private life which is for him to decide whether he wants to talk about. How about respecting his wishes and not whine like a stuck pig when you don’t get your way. You might say they would have been innocuous Dorothy Dixer questions about whether it was good to be back but we all know that reporters usually try and get more.
While he doesn’t owe YOUR employer anything, you however do. I’m sure they appreciate you turning up for work seemingly pissed most times or leading such an unhealthy lifestyle that placed you in the situation where you were hospitalised and off work for a lengthy period of time. Do you still turn up pissed at work or just act like you do? I’m sure a lot of YOUR viewers would like you to answer that

Dusty took time away from the game, and his teammates who he loves, and Robinson spits the dummy because declined to be interviewed.
Everyone knows the reason why Dusty needed a break, what a pathetic person Robinson is. He is a disgrace, and is not a fit and proper person to hold the positions that he does.

Dear Robbo,
Dusty’s a competent enough interviewee these days. I think he should do the quick after-match chats. And I believe he will.
But not now.
Just give him time and steer clear of the topic of the very recent death of his beloved dad. Resist the urge to tease out emotional porn for your own benefit. It’s gauche.
You don’t want to be gauche do you?

Dustin didn't like doing interviews before. It's just accepted at this point. Who in their right mind would think he would be open to doing an interview now of all times? Especially when he knows what they're going to ask him about. I wouldn't be surprised if he went the whole season without talking to anyone and that's actually what I was expecting. He says everything he needs to say on the field.
Martin just gave 2 hours of entertainment and Fox's ratings were likely up as a result of him playing. They should be thanking him and hoping he once again gets to demonstrate his magic in the finals.
That’s the word I was looking for “ duplicitous “
( yes I’m off to get the Webster out)Continues to prove the low life ambulance chasing scum he is , does not care one iota about the young men playing the game, he’s just about selling gossip.
Dustin Martin owed AFL nothing but his Richmond return had everything | Jonathan Horn
Last year there was a very real chance he was lost to football but on Saturday Dusty was back with a bang
when he did the first dont argue my first words were " Dusty is definetly back"

Slobbo could only dream of writing something at least half as good on his very best day.
Send it to him
The AFL should be kissing Martin's feet that he decided to return.
Biggest crowd to the footy for the season.
Not includeding Anzac Day/Easter Monday etc
so true. worlds apart the Guardian article and Blobs..
thinking a little more on Blobs article - the insensitivity to Dustins situation and why he took time out is
mind-blowing. really tells you something about Blobs attitude to footy.. and the publication he 'writes' for ..
i hope a wider spectrum of people other than RFC faithful take him to task on it ...
Irony would be Robbo went off the air for months on end and no one had any idea what had happened to him. He only spoke about what he had been through when he felt comfortable enough to return and now seems to be holding Martin to a different standard.
Of all the duplicitous, cynical and semi-conscious things he says in that article, the part that annoys me the most it the suggestion that Martin could have fronted up for a couple of "Dorothy Dixers. Like, what was it like to be back? Any message for the fans?"That’s the word I was looking for “ duplicitous “

Who does that serve? What would be the benefit? What great insight will you get from him saying "Yep, good." "Cheers"?
His message to the fans was there from the first don't argue. You could see what it was like for him to be back when he was mobbed by teammates. Meanwhile, it opens him up to horrible and awkward questions likely to be asked like "Would your Dad be happy... etc."
There's no benefit to answering inane fox footy questions. And there's possible harm in questions that aren't inane.
Robbo should have said what he was actually thinking. "I wish we coulda got Dusty to cry on live TV for the internet points".
*smile* him.
*smile* him completely.
