Bad boy Dustin Martin

jumbo returns
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Saw that he was in the press today....skimmed over the article but read most of the highlights.

Seems to be a bit of a bad boy. Will he survive the AFL?

I think the professionalism is too hard for him.

 
 

If you didn't put a name to him, i could swear you're talking about one Colin Sylvia. Though, Martin has done more to date than what Sylvia did in his first 3 years of footy.

Has all the talent in the world, thinks he's better than what he is, could be a champion player, but has attitude problems.

Amazing how light the media have been on him considering........

If he'd played for MFC, it would be all over SEN and the front pages of the herald sun....... With title "drug up tankers"......

Exactly....he's even living with the club prez.

Much more talented than Colin, but this year he was heavily tagged and really struggled in some games.

Someone texted in to SEN and said do you want him to be a prim proper boy like Jack Watts.

Hopefully he can come to realise he is lucky to be playing AFL and obviously richmond are worried about his off field work.

Given the issues plaguing MFC and recently GWS and Adelaide, Edwards and Martin's indiscretions are small beer in the scheme of things.
 

There's a lot more to this than what the media are reporting according to BF...apparently been in court and lost his license.

Cousins-esque...

Wow. Another AFL footballer blows their licence....... FMD.

Its small beer......notwithstanding Martin may have had multiples of them before he chose to get in the car.

And if it been to court then the event happened weeks/month ago.

Well the quote is that he's behaving like the typical 80s footballer. The problem for Richmond is it's not harming anyone (apart from the pills incident) so it's harder for them to react.

If your football hero is cousins then you have a problem.

Robbie Flower was an 80s footballer......

What is a typical 80s footballer. I can think of some more recent footballers who were worry me more.

Richmond dont need to react because........its a nothing issue. Licence lost. Can still play....no drugs. Dead story.

I saw Dusty along with 6 other Tigers Training by themselves over at Vic Park Wednesday.

No talking just a few sets of 200m sprints.

He looked pretty good to me.

I think it's a little more than that, they are talking about him being out of control and perhaps being traded when his contract expires (KB on SEN this morning), he is already on suspension and they said he is continuing to do the same things he was suspended for in the first place. It appears that when the season ends he loses structure in his life and loses the plot as well.

I don't think this is a simple case of losing a licence there may be other indiscretions involved.

When does his contract expire?

Anyway its a minnow against the elephant issues running at the moment.

End of next year.

It certainly is in comparison to Melb, Ade stories but still as we've found out where there is smoke, there's fire and I can only pray for an annoying saga hanging over Richmonds head ala Cousins in the late 00's

Much more.......no way!

Just look at KB. Fearsome unit that one.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
