Dusty’s absolutely taking the piss with that last goal. Predicts the Stanley handball and goes to intercept it instead of tackling, shrugs off Danger and slots it as casually as you like
Stanley has to live with that uncontested drop mark prior to the Martin goal forever
Not human!
Dusty knew what Stanley was going to do before Stanley even got the ball.
What a unbelievable player. That last goal, steals the handball shrugs of Dangerfield and he’s on the boundary line and snaps a goal, Incredible. Well deserved.
@Steve Bondi and people say Dangerfield is better then dusty🤔
@@leedalli7839 no comparison
@@leedalli7839 Danger is better than Dusty in season. Dusty better than Danger in finals. Simple.
@@daniilmedvedev3647 no way mate!
@@timsunderland5153 dusty flicked dangerfield off his body like as if he was a sack of 15kg of Potatoes in that last goal .
Dangerfield yes i admit plays awesome footy but Dusty knows when to flick the switch and he has shown us those 3 norm smith medals are no fluke
Danger and dusty. The best of the modern era. But will be forever seperated by their performances when it mattered most.
I AGREE WITH YOU
What! You just said danger and dusty are better than Ablett Judd and buddy in the modern era😂your a casual
@@obi-nine1504 depends how define modern era. Probably should prefaced it with midfielders.
Was talking about the current generation of players. Judd certainly isn’t a part of that. Not that he statistically matches Martin anyway.
champion data has had danger and dusty in the top 3 current players since For 5-6 years. The point I was making was simply these two all
Time greats are remarkably similar in season stats but are differentiated in finals.
You can even make the same case for the great Gary Ablett. Who may just be the best overall stats wise year on year. But his finals record doesn’t stack up next to martins. A bloke whose kicked 10.2 while averaging 24.5 touches in grand finals. Or that champion data ranks as best on ground in 12 of his 14 finals.
It really just depends on how you measure best.
This is coming from a collingwood supporter but when leigh matthews himself says that dustin martin is one of the ONLY players he doesn't feel offended being compared to, that means dusty is on a whole other level
Collingwood supporter as well, he's easily one of the best players I've ever seen.
1. kicked the goal that brought the tigers back when geelong were on top
2. another to steal back the lead
3. then added 2 more nails to the coffin in the 4th.
absolute game-winning player
Lethal Leigh didn't say Dusty is "one of" the only players he doesn't feel offended being compared to he said Dusty is the ONLY player he doesn't feel offended being compared to. Best player I've seen since Gary Ablett Sr, so that's a generation - thousands of players, hundreds of top players, and dozens of champions. He's better than all of them. Go Dusty!!!
@@truefunksoul8638 I’m a tigers fan and at his best Dusty is the best since Gaz snr, completely agree. There are players who are more consistent and play better over the course of a season. But Dusty is the most damaging player and plays his best in the biggest games. Wouldn’t trade him for anyone
@@jcollishaw dusty is top 20 all time but can’t put him above Ablett jnr Judd and buddy as the best players of the modern era
@@obi-nine1504 Ablett, Judd and Buddy: 1 Norm Smith
Dusty: 3 Norm smiths
Dusty gets a +50% accuracy bonus when kicking at goal after breaking a tackle. Only way to explain some of those goals 😁
Broke through Geelong tacklers for every goal, all brilliant goals showing his power and class.
He shrugged his hips and Dangerfield went flying!
Who cares about Richmond, at least Geelong have a go at it
Yep, the GOAT Shrugged off the OVERRATED!!
@@georgiosmarcou4446 what goat????
Clearly he saves his best game to the GRAND FINAL
I reckon he does
Yep
And Danger saves his worst.
Yea
Dunno about that,bloody blokes a freak.....he plays a ordinary game he's still brilliant, im a North Melbourne member and im glad he stayed at Richmond ,he would have been wasted with us.
gonna be bored af without footy, see yous next season... or in the comments whenever AFL posts.
What about the cricket?
@@repeatquinny I'm not a massive fan of cricket tbh lol, but I'll probably watch it from time to time!
I’m a Geelong supporter but Honestly Richmond earns this Grand Final. Good job Martin. 👍💪🤙
I feel like port deserved to be in the grand final bc they have been top from the first round to the last
@@supremerooster7337 I know but they got outplayed. It is how it is
They dont deserve it. They won 2017 2019 and 2020.they tryhard in the grand finals. No hate to richmond they’re a great team and its rigged dusty always wins the norm smith medal
Bruv they got to the Grand final fair and square. They beat the teams and they won. Simple. I know they played a little dirty but they stood up.
@@dallasgreene9465 my g. They tried to break gary ablett's hand off
Dusty definitely knows where the goals are. Seems like every time he gets his foot to the ball it's a goal. Coming from a Geelong supporter.
Every kick within 55m was a shot on goal. He just mis-kicked that banana with the wet ball or it would have been 5 goals.
Farewell Gazza 😞 Legend of the game
And also congratulations Richmond
one thing i loved about this grand final was the game being close for 3 and a hlaf quarters. Dusty claiming his spot as probably one of the best grand final and finals players and gary abletts retirement.
Reads the ball so intelligently. Legend of the modern era. Dustin norm martin everybody!!
I’ve followed Richmond for 65 years. Dustin and KB and Royce are the best I’ve ever seen
@Ryan Morgan it’s still arguable I reckon mate. How many finals did KB win for us seriously. I saw his whole career and I reckon out of 403 games he was only out of the best players about 20 times!
@Ryan Morgan we are in feverish agreement
Dont forget about the Flea
@@eugenekear9157 he was terrific as well Eugene
I watched those 3 myself and K B is still number one only just now because of his body of work. Martin closing fast and Royce had a special presence and possibly the best kick for a tiger I ever saw.
Not a tigers fan but as a fan of the sport u gotta love watching Dusty play. Well done a well deserved 3 norms all in a winning gf side u can't ask the bloke for more brilliant player to watch regardless who u go for
I AGREE
I think it has gotten to a stage now where you could say he is richmonds greatest player in the clubs history.
Still 4 years later, as a die hard Tiger, one of the greatest to ever pull on the Yellow and Black and maybe even in the game. In my opinion this is the greatest individual performance of all time. He single-handedly flipped the game on its head and kept us in the game, put us in front, gave us some breathing room and his last goal. Wowee
This guy is so good its actually a joke, one of the true greats t ever do it..
I think there are plenty of better players than Dustin but not much players could do what he did that night. But I do think there are plenty of better players.
@@jamesgriffin4644 lol he’s the best player in the afl right now mate, saves his best footy for the point end of the season
@@sauce2383 fair enough but Lachy Neale?
@@sauce2383 Also why doesn’t he just play his good footy all year round that is what makes a good player GREAT. Nah just joking Dusty is insane,
@@jamesgriffin4644 lol lachie neale good joke
Just flick Danger out of bounds then snap a goal from the boundry really good to watch....Great season Tigers......
You couldn’t write it any better
That goal at the end was absolutely fantastic, I don't think anyone other player in the comp right now is on his level!!
Nah no way need to go back to Gary Ablett snr in the late '80s and early '90s for someone to consistently do freak show stuff like this as if it's normal play, but he was the best player I've ever seen. Expecting Dusty to pass him at this rate!
True Funk Soul I said in the comp so I mean still playing, sorry for the misunderstanding, stay safe!!
@@shaunfeehan8215 No misunderstanding I was fully agreeing with your view, and illustrating the point by saying we have to go back decades to find anyone on that level. In other words I believe Dusty has gone past every other player since Gary Ablett snr, but he's not done yet.
True Funk Soul oh sorry I didn't understand thanks for the explaining, stay safe
Love watching Dusty play, Legend! He makes footy worth watching again
Dusty the GOAT, his gonna win 2 more norm smiths then hang up the boots as the greatest to ever lace up 🔥
Dusty's an incredible player, all of his goals were fantastic, see you guys next season!!
One of the greatest
Grand Final GOAT
His Will To Win The Football On The Day Was Superior And It Was On Clear Display For All To See
Congratulations Dustin Martin - Brilliant Game Next Level Determination You Farkern Ripper
Carlton Supporter
@Ryan Morgan Dusty because he stayed loyal to his team
His teammates adore him because he is humble. Not quite how the media has portrayed him over the years.
🏈CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN DUSTY." LEGEND "🕺❤🏈
He is the greatest player ever
Still can’t get over that last goal, truly unbelievable.
Just casually shrugs of dangerfield and scores right on the line...
What an absolute gun was awesome to watch as a pies fan onya dusty champion
Same!
Congratulations Dusty ⭐️👏🏻🥉
Dusty IS A GOD
DUSTY IS GOD.
Yes he is we had a great night
He’s a higher entity of being
One of the best in the modern era. A total freak
DM is a class above. Just reads the play so well. They can't seem to tackle him.
AFL is awesome nice
THE KING OF THE FINALS
Dusty: Kicks the goal the kept us in it before half time, Kicked the one that put us in front in the third, Kicked the sealer in the last, then the icing on the cake ...
Passing of the torch.
Gary Ablett retiring and Dustin Martin adding another chapter to his legacy.
unbelievable
god i love this bloke.
FINALS GOAT!
Well done Dusty on Norm Smith no.3 not only turning it on for the regular season but pretty much always turning it on come finals time.I think you can do your best on Dusty but just very difficult to keep him quiet such a Star:)
Lets GOOOO!
He started a new club for people who've won 3 norm Smith medals, and he's the only member
L♡VE YOUR COMMENT 🏈
I’ll put this to rest, you might say Judd is better or Gaz jr was better. Whatever. There’s no one in the history of the game, outside of maybe Lethal, that I’d pick before I pick Dusty in the finals. Yet to see a Finals player like Dusty. Clutch. A class apart and an absolute machine.
Dusty getting dropped and getting his shorts dirty is the shortest highlight reel ever. Just like Cam Smith and Dan Carter, the great players stay on their feet.
The last goal was just ridiculous ahahahah.
DUSTY YOU ARE A. CHAMPION ! DUDE!!
He won it off his own boot,he was the difference
The real question is, where does the statue go? Punt rd or the G?
Probably deserfves one at both grounds to be honest. Might as well throw one up at every other interstate ground too
BEST midfielder I've ever seen. What a player. Im not even a Richmond fan.
Pfft not even close 😂
@@daniilmedvedev3647 need any salt to Medvedev losing to Djokovic in the final, Pretty close to the best midfielder.
@@BlakeyPlays2024 but not the best midfielder ever... is what I'm saying lol
@@daniilmedvedev3647 but you didn’t read it right, he said best midfielder “I’ve ever seen” that he’s ever seen, you thought he said best midfielder ever, he’s pretty close to it though.
@@BlakeyPlays2024 my mistake
Different to most mids in that it’s less about cardio/ work rate and more about power /explosive impact
GOAT
I can only compare his last goal to the great Peter bosustow goal in the early eighties where bosustow smothered on the boundary and then snapped the goal. I was there and had a great view of Martin's goal. Any oldies remember the bosustow goal. What do you think.
You were at the Gabba?
Class
Legend!
what a gun
🐐🐯
Dusty is a star
I like seeing Dangerfield heartbroken
Wat a speech..
They will build a statue of dustin martin outside the mcg one day.
The reason why dusty is so good is coz hes one of gods main archangels sandalphon
No tiger has ever kicked 4 better goals in a grand final.
Greatest player of all time peaked higher than Ablett and best finals player ever
He just needs to more than he will be like booker t
Dustin Martin is the best player to ever touch the ball. Prestia is the most underrated player to touch the ball.
Dustin
Up to half time Mitch Duncan had the NS in the bag.
Is that like how up to half time Geelong had the GF in the bag?
Then Dusty turned up the volume - kicked one to keep them in it, kicked one to take the lead, kicked one to seal the game and kicked one as a circus act!
nice
Dusty might get a couple more yet....
Dusty is the goat
Such cap
GO DUSTY
Dusin
Why did Melbourne pass on this dude? What were they thinking.
Twice. Could have had Martin and Fyfe. Dusty has missed about 10 games in 11 seasons so already on 244 including 15 finals and he has 4 years left on his contract. Scary.
Was it Melbourne or North Melbourne?
@@planetX15 Melbourne - they had the first 2 picks in the 2009 Draft and went for Scully and Trengrove, both busts
@@AlonsoRules Very interesting, I never knew that.
3 years too late, but Scully and Trengove were far better prospects than Martin at the time - Martin had only STARTED playing AFL when he was 17.
Other players rack up more possessions, but it's meaningless if you can't do it in the one that counts.
Is there a player with a better finals record than Martin? I think I already know the answer to that one..
Bartlett was excellent to . 1980 final series 21 goals. 6 then 8 then 7 in the grand final. He was a awesome player
hoew good th dusty
❤
Comparing Lachie Neale to Dustin Martin is like comparing poop to broccoli.
Have Neale any day..lol
DisneyChannelLinkinPark18 or poop to caviar
@@antmac2545 really? You’d ditch the best finals player ever and game changer for a disposal accumulater??
@@jackogamer340 Neale was way better than Dusty this season... tf you talking about?
@@daniilmedvedev3647 i never said anything about last season in particular, tf you talking about?
The finals were boring with no Dusty show. GWIZ
Last year Houli was the best player.
2020 no question for best on ground. Well done Tigers on a historic victory .👍
Last year Dusty was the best player.
@@truefunksoul8638 2017 GF Houli should've won Norm Smith.

Lmao jeez dont the AFL love dusty first 3 quaters his first like 8 touches were off the ground kicks that went no where lmao
Didn’t watch the game then clearly
@@jackogamer340 lmao i did buddy
@@michaelfranken805 20 touches 4 goals ain’t enough for u lmao. He was the best that day and kicked some big goals when it mattered smh

@@michaelfranken805 I am not going to waste my time with you he deserved it and that’s that.
Way better than Lachie overrated Neale

should've been squidward!
Yea squidward lmao
His 3 norms were good but not great ...not in the realm of say jarmans or macleods gfs...just my opinion....
Enjoy the spoon this year?
This years normie was better than either fatty or bunji's. The other two I agree with.
It because it dusty
Poor Gary
Look at all of those players who looked like they’ve been dating Ross Lynch. Pathetic.
Code breaker I'm dating the thumb from spy kids
Code breaker lol😂😂!!!
Can you make a stream
@@Code_breaker_ shut up
Still not as good as hodgys 2014 banana from boundry line 45 out of no step just standing still and banana 45m from boundry line! Some nice goals though from dusty!!
I've been saying all week that the best grand final goal I've seen was Hodgy's... Until I saw Dusty's. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved that 2014 goal but Dusty read the play, shrugged off a tackle and kicked basically the same goal as Hodgy, just under more pressure.
@@mercilessundead6306 school is overrated I'm doing ok! If it bothers you then that's your issue as it don't bother me! I won't loose any sleep over your comment trust me!
Hodgy's was a better kick. But the passage of play here (Intuition+Strength)x Skill from Dusty is another level.
@@mareewalker1096 Funniest thing I have read in a solid 5 years
Patrick Dangerfield has gotta be the most overrated player in the competition.
That's cute, probably salty that you will never be as good as him.
@@shaunmccarthy3265 I feel like I’m in the presence of a salty Geelong supporter and also how come Dusty’s won more norm smith’s, premierships and he’s a better player?
@@shaunmccarthy3265 that’s cute, probably salty that you’ll never be as good as him.
@@shaunfeehan8215 Aww I love your guesses. But I'm not a Geelong supporter. Saying Dangerfield is overrated is like saying Dusty is overrated too. They're both similar and have big impacts in games. Perhaps you should watch Highlights of both players instead of only watching Dusty.
@@shaunmccarthy3265 but Dangerfield never has impacts in games that count and dusty can deliver every game if he tries to!!
Still isn’t better than Ablett, Judd, buddy. He’s 4th best of the last 20 years
The only one I would say has any sort of merit is Gaz Jnr, but its still close.
@@jasonking852 no chance, you can’t say dustys better than buddy and Judd.
@@obi-nine1504 of course you can.
@@jasonking852 no u can’t buddy
@@jasonking852 how old are u?
The Grand Final was rigged
Umpiring was bad, you still lost by 31 points which is no excuse
yeahhh okay buddy
Richmond switched on after half time. Dangerfield played one of the worst games of his entire career and Geelong had far too many passengers. Not rigged, purely outplayed.
Maybe if the cats didn't miss there chances in the second quarter you'd be celebrating instead of complaining.
5 minutes, 5 dislikes. GOOD
can the richmond fans shut up honesty, this richmond side isn't as good as the hawks, pies, saints, and geelong team from 10 years ago, and people are like dusty is the best, mate he is not the greatest of all time. Just because you kick three goal that were good doesn't mean your the goat. Danger did it against the lions and he is not better than jr, snr, or leigh matthews
None of those players have 3 norm smiths. And it was 4 incredible goals. Luke Hodge called him the best finals player to play and I'm not too sure he's a Richmond fan. Leigh Matthews said that Dusty is the only player that he doesn't get offended by when getting compared to Leigh, not too sure that he's a Richmond fan either. No one has said that they are better than Hawks, Pies and Geelong, just said they've been as dominant. Now I'd definitely say that they were better than the saints for obvious reasons. But instead of bashing the team that so clearly has been the most dominant for a significant portion of the decade, why don't you make it to 3 grand finals, kick a collective of 10 goals and 72 disposals between them? Absolute nuffy.
3 goals that were good? Which one didn't qualify as "good"? jesus.
@@kadenmcdonell5153 Dusty is overrated and calling him the GOAT is embarrassing. He only steps up his games in finals. The GF 2017 he shouldn't have won Norm Smith 😂

@@marvelfan3385 just because Dusty destroyed Geelong doesn’t mean you need to have a cry
over rated
Agreed
Overrated compared to who?
Unlike most of the 'stars' of the competition nowadays, Dusty can actually turn a game around and win it with his own boot. Any 'star' without that ability is overrated (I'm looking at you Patrick Clangerfield)
