When did I ''follow you around'' ?
The last post I made was in response to no-one. How is that ''following you around'' ?
In fact, you're the one engaging me.
I barely know you as a poster, but I may have previously responded to you if you've made an idiotic post.
Are you known for regularly making idiotic posts ?

Statistics are being churned out left, right and centre by certain Richmond supporters to bolster the case for Dusty.
Who is the AFL’s most damaging inside 50 kick? It’s not Dusty or Bolton, but the man with the unusual name and equally unusual kicking style!

Are Hodge, Mitchell, Lewis and Birchall remembered as Brisbane, West Coast, Melbourne and Brisbane players?
Very different scenario to Judd where he basically spent as much time as his second club as his first.
That’s very funny. It’s almost like how everyone remembers Bucks as a Brisbane Bear.

It's always the second team. Or third, so Tarrant will always be a Pie. Buckely will always be a Pie.
Its just how it works in peoples psyche.

Hodge will be remembered as a commentator for mine and player/coach of Brisbane. Like Matthews is remembered as being a Commentator or Carey. Memories fade.
Lewis will be remembered for famously picking Collingwood to miss the 8 in 2023, but also as a Demon.
Never heard of the third player.
Not surprised being a Collingwood supporter you have never heard of Birchall. He played in 4 winning Grand Final teams. Foreign territory for Collingwood.

Collingwood is actually the only team to have won four in a row. Broke that record a hundred years ago.

A strong case can be made for Dusty being the GOAT Finals player (although old timers tell me Bruce Doull and esp Lethal were pretty damn good at them too)
If we can a discussion separating that and from the true all time GOAT (from a 120 plus year historical perspective) that would be more helpful/productive.
If GAJ played his entire career at Geelong, he would have won more flags and personal accolades than Dusty imo.
At their best, Gary Junior's best to me was more dynamic and fun to watch than Dusty (whom I don't think didn't do it enough outside Finals)
But that's my own personal opinion. Dusty and Finals record is nothing to be sneezed, quite the opposite, worthy of the highest praise and respect.

My doctor once told me I have an eidetic memory but I can never remember what it exactly means. So yeah maybe. Why?
Because I couldn't remember a player as boring as Lewis?
A teacher of mine once told me that I had an eidetic memory. Turns out he said I had an idiotic memory.
For what it's worth, I don't think Martin comes close to GOAT...for mine. His H&A record whilst very good is bettered by many.
If we're talking finals only, he is in the conversation up to his eyeballs. One of the greatest (if not the greatest), finals players I have seen. His record is second to none on that front.
Challenge matches aren't Grand Finals, I shouldn't need to explain this to you.

You can try getting history edited. Contact the AFL below, good luck.

Against Richmond too, ironically.
To get back on topic, people are still rembering Gordon Coventry and the like from that era. 100 years later.
I'm not sure people will even remember Dustin Martin in 100 years time.
