Dustin Martin
Does anybody know who the imbecile was that rejected Dustin Martin coming to stkilda when he first came out of contract a few years back? I can only hope they are no longer involved in the footy club because that would have to be one of the worst decisions ever. Bazaar at the time even more so now.

Re: Dustin Martin
Martin renewed his contract with Richmond.
So, why not spit bile at an unknown persons just because he never intended coming to StKilda? I know who the imbecile is, and not connected to the club. Just some hack.

Re: Dustin Martin
Didn't fit our social values. I remember it well
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

Re: Dustin Martin
From memory Pelchen was trying to get him and Watters didn’t want a bar of it.

Re: Dustin Martin
does anyone honestly think he would have flourished into the player he's become at Richmond if we'd taken him on?
There was a very real danger he would have become the d**khead he is beneath the (now) disciplined exterior, Richmond worked so hard to make him. had he joined our club. It would have been a media field day of same old same old, St Kilda culture etc etc
We cant develop promising young talent let alone even ever consider developing a gifted, yet flawed individual into a champion
Kidding yourselves if you think, with what we'd had for the last 5 years, he would be the champion he is now had we got to him
