I used to think Voss was probably the best mid sized player I’d seen but geez.....think Martin has it and just steps up constantly in big games like champions domeher baba wrote: ↑Sat 24 Oct 2020 10:29pm I used to think that Carey was the best I've seen: a one-man match winner.
But Martin is even more amazing. He'd be a threat if he was the only player on the field against 18.
Richmond looked done and dusted half way through the second quarter. Dustin carried his team home on his back. What a star.

None of the other dynasty teams relied so heavily on the genius of one player.Enrico_Misso wrote: ↑Sat 24 Oct 2020 10:27pm Martin saved the game for Richmond in the first half.
Then he won it for them in the second half.
Geelong would have won easily apart from Dusty.
Richmond are a good team but nowhere near a Hawthorn, Brisbane or Geelong dynasty side...except for that one freak
Nee!

asiu: "i already cant get out of my head
that we are the only team in 35 years to lose
after leading at 3/4 time"
Yep. But there is so much linger trauma from that game. The non-selection of Max Hudghton. The Hawkins "goal". The free kick that should have been played to Schneider. Multiple gettable shots at goal that were missed . Luke Ball being kept on the bench in the last quarter.
The whole thing was such a bummer.

Probably worth mentioning that Hardwick's a pretty decent coach, too.

Re: GF Match Thread
A lot of Geelong players were found wanting in that game, especially Dangerfield.
The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Re: GF Match Thread
If I were AFL I would call a meeting with the AFLPA immediately to settle the salary cap and player list numbers.
If Dangerfield does not sign then he would be charged for high contact, high impact and grand final double penalty.

Melbourne had picks 1 and 2.
Richmond had pick 3 so took Martin

Re: GF Match Thread
If Dangerfield gets rubbed out for that it’s a f****** joke.
He punched the ball toward a teammate and had no time to drop his arm.
I personally cannot stand Dangerfield and his team and glad they lost, but that was accidental in play and did nothing wrong in my opinion.
I thought Long was stiff but his intention was clearly the man where Dangerfield was at the ball.
