Some people reckon it was a masterful attempt to derail our finals campaign.

Apparently when we had 7 boneheads who stood there and watched Daniher kick a goal instead of killing the ball they were all thinking about the video leak.
It was just another one of these amazing coincidences that happen with AFL hey TBR?

Two days after Dustin Martin escaped punishment, Jess Hosking was let down by footy. Mark Robinson looks at the AFL image machine in full swing.

Not going to or able to or want to read the article, but is Robbo intimating that Dusty and Jess are somehow hurting the AFL image?

I take it he couldn't be bothered writing about, hmm I don't know, institutionalized racism, gambling umpires, corruption etc. Can't bite the hand that feeds obviously


The club really needs to come out and give this *smile* a public blast

But Robbo's mate, James Hird should be encouraged to coach again despite being one of the leading figures to implement a systematic injecting program for his team with PEDs. Then when caught destroy all evidence to the point they cn't even tell their players what they injected them with.

Something doesn't add up.

If this sh1t continues next season, Dimma or Benny need to come out and hint to the media with a smirk why we are always the news for them. Other supporters will call it whinging, but we need to give it back instead of staying silent where they will continue attacking us non-stop.

Yep. At it again.
Dustin Martin is the worst person on the planet if you believe what is written about him.
Gutter journalism at it's worst.

Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News.



It’s a funny world we all navigate.
What’s right and wrong, what’s image or real, who complains and why?
In the AFL, Dustin Martin has mostly always let his football do the talking.
He doesn’t talk to print media, he doesn’t do radio interviews, this season he gave away on-ground TV sound bites, and the Tigers would probably love Martin to do more publicity for the club.
He is a footballer, and that’s been the customary refrain from the Tigers: It’s just the way he is.
Except, of course, when he’s flogging jocks or books, or whatever else he puts his name to.
Then, someone writes a bunch of cliche-rich copy, puts his name to the quotes, and bingo, there’s your Dusty story.
But it seems not even the AFL can do that with Dusty. Last week, colleague Jon Ralph revealed Martin had escaped punishment for touching a topless woman on the breast at an end-of-season drink in 2015.
Nothing to see here, said the AFL, although AFL boss Gillon McLachlan did call it a poor look when the video surfaced in early September. Nothing from Dusty, mind you.

Not a single contrived quote from a champion of the game and a hero to tens of thousands of kids.

This is what I have just emailed to the RFC.

Good afternoon.
Surely it is time for the club to do something to stop this almost constant villifying of Dustin.
Some in the media seems intent on tarnishing him and therefore by association the RFC.
Would love the club to stand up for Dusty and call these media "personalities" to account.

Good on you, Gray. There’s a massive double standard where some players get hammered for everything and others aren’t.

Yep, for some reason in AFL media land, touching a strippers boob, running a red light, turning up late to training, or the word “bitches” is somehow worse than club sanctioned doping.

When’s the next prez start?

The only way articles like this stop is to cut off the oxygen.
With the greatest of respect mate even posting it here feeds into the hysteria that they're after.
It's clickbait pure & simple.

Boycott the Herald Sun.

Appreciate the frustration but the club won't be giving Blobbo any more headlines than he has already.
That *smile* would just find another negative angle about the club & generate more clicks.

I hope the club & Dusty gives that *smile* rag nothing for the year.

The home of Dusty
Not sure if people have read the article but he is saying exactly the same thing as multiple posters on here about the Hosking incident.

Apart from a little crack at Dustin for not doing media (which is understandable when you are a journo) he's not having a go at him at all.

Robbo does make a fair point but used Dusty in click bait chasing way which cheapened the message.
