Still think he's going to gold coast...

Taking a leaf from Hardwicks playbook ya reckon.
Reckon Martin's got more class TBH.
 

Big game player, strong and fair, quiet and humble, rarely beaten, and amazing game awareness.

Among all the accolades, I reckon there is not enough mention of his field kicking. Hitting ridiculous targets on the run with low penetrating 60m passes. The sound of the ball striking his foot - wow. 

What a gun. 

 

Best bloke I’ve ever met.

Honestly he can do what he likes. Legend of the game and gave Richmond 3 flags.

Correct, but still played out very strangely.

He's an odd bod. Isnt the first and wont be the last.

 

Straight out of the Dimma playbook

Even with their premiership legacy, I reckon both Dimma and Dusty will be a little unpopular with the way this has all played out


playing on at suns would only tarnish dusty's legacy. his best days are well past.

he may be a good on field leader but is not an off field leader, so apart from publicity purposes i can't see much benefit

Couple of Years working on The Gold Coast 

Good Money & Good other things…!!

Was always going to happen

All true. 

But the kicker here - Dusty will collect $500k a year for 1-2 years. Nice little retirement gift from the AFL. Where else is he going to get that kind of cash? Can't see him coaching or in a media role. Perhaps only other option was to go with rebels motorbike gang - another year or 2 of footy seems like a much better option

Unpopular with who??

RFC

The premiership players won't care but I think the way Dimma has handled the past 12 months has been pretty [censored] poor.

Leaves Richmond in a complete and utter mess then proceeds to try and gut their list even further by poaching the likes of Rioli and Martin.

I could imagine what Tarranto and Hopper are thinking..

Feel for Yze also.

I dunno. It kind of gives Richmond heaps of picks and Yze doesn't have to be the bad guy by retiring club champions.

Dusty Martin owes Richmond absolutely nothing

I would argue he owes them everything. He came in with talent but a wayward life. RFC put the supports and structures in place to keep him on the right path so he could excel the way he did. You could argue that his performances have repaid the effort and investment they put in, but he still owes his success to the Club. 

I agree with Dazzle though, not impressed with the way Harwick has handled things.

100%

 

Although according to Richmond fans, neither can do no wrong

Compare the trajectory of his career and then the likes of Watts et al and you tell me if he owes them nothing.

I agree, he's at the point no where he's welcome to leave and go help a team that can compere rather than waste the end of his career on a rebuild, however, do you think he's gone about it the right away?

Sitting out most of the season, retiring and then joining the former coach that gutted your club?

I saw absolutely nothing this year that convinced me Dusty should have played in 2024, let alone 25 and 26.

I don’t think this is the right vibe for The Suns either. They need to build their own culture now.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
