King of Victoria

[boncer34]

His 3 flag winning Norm Smiths, not likely to happen again in the near future if ever.

3 games 4,5 and 7 years ago.

Games moved on from Dusty being the best player in the league.

Richmond haven’t

 

[Lingsface]

Don't you mean Ablett liked too play God?

These players are 2 of the biggest post career disasters the game has seen.

Yeah but nothing too do with who “was” the king of Victoria, he didn’t give himself that nickname.

 

[Lingsface]

Ray Martin had a lot to do with a current affairs but Dusty has not.

 

[HairyO]

King of the who?

Well I didnt vote for him.

Ray won a swag of Logies. Dusty hasnt even won one

Of course he’s a Geelong supporter. I heard they are giving him the AA captaincy in advance

Seriously how did he get the nickname? I heard it’s just cause he was religious rather than how good he was.

There's only one king and his name is Wayne Carey

King Lunch Cutter

 

[STPer18]

Steve Hocking.

I think it was because of how much the fans loved him they use to hold up signs with this on it.

You are right that he was a believer in a god though.

It’s Dusty until he retires or somebody beats his records. I think he’s earned that, don’t think anybody took the title off Ali when he was getting belted late in his career.

I know it’s common pre-season crap but apparently he’s breaking all his PBs at training and is in ripping form and apparently pretty much playing exclusively mid this year. So I smell some possible AA team selections.

Comparing Dustin Martin to Muhammad Ali…..
Now I’ve heard it all.

He’s got the best resume of anybody playing right now and is the king of finals. Seems like a pretty legit comparison.

Robbo say its Charlie Curnow, so whatever he says

Well Victoria is under King Charles... for now, but who would it he under William?

has surpassed Dusty on 2023 form.

 

[Tiger2709]

Jordan de Goey has surpassed Dusty on 2023 form

An aging Dusty coming off a split kidney the previous season still got as many votes as De Goey, he is the best wannabe Dusty in the game though.

What no love for Cassius?

Seriously how did he get the nickname? I heard it’s just cause he was religious rather than how good he was.

WIKIPEDIA SAYS - In 1986, Ablett became a born-again Christian and has been said to be slightly aggrieved at constantly being referred to as "God" by fans, a nickname based on his supreme football abilities.

Oh, that’s fair enough he doesn’t like it. I wouldn’t like it either, it’s a little cheesy when your aren’t the best.

Did you see him play? Best player I have ever seen. And he did it for well over a decade.

Cleansweep / Falcon doesn’t need to have actually seen a player to form a wildly inaccurate view of them.
It’s his schtik.

 

[QuietB]

Surely you cannot be King with one contested mark for your entire career - no soldier respects that. Absurd.
