typical dusty no farewell no presser for the medija

actually rapt he kept true to himself

I can taste the tears from here and I'm feeding off em

 

[sanaya]

losing to norf must have hit him really hard... go well duz, brought the club so much


but **** the campaigner played 13 games this season and the team didn't let him sing the song a single time


if he wants to stay away from the spotlight forever and it means i never hear about him again i'm happy with that

I am so damn happy Dusty will retire a one club legend. 3 premierships, 3 NS, a Brownlow, 300gms in the Yellow & Black.

I am sad and teary-eyed writing this. I think we knew this was coming but it’s sad nonetheless.

Dusty, you have been an absolute god-send to our club and I thank you for everything you have done and achieved. Bloody champion. [emoji169][emoji169][emoji169]

I despaired of ever seeing another flag in my lifetime (I’m 65) but you helped deliver 3 and I will be forever grateful. I wish you nothing but good things in your life and hope you have a long and happy one.

And to all you flogs in the media, you can all go and bugger off. You knew jack shit.

 

[SunshineBoy]

Thanks for the memories , Dusty enjoy your retirement

 

[MooreTreloar]

Pardon the intrusion but what an absolute legend Dusty was.

Watching him rip apart finals on a regular basis was an absolute pleasure and privilege.

I’m the same Freddy 65 as well saw the glory days 60-70s and he made it complete

That goal in the 17 PF in the last qtr was something else!!!!!

Was in tears

 

[Hamsatma]

Hitting me harder than I thought it would. Part of me really wishes he retired at the 300th or pushed on for another game at the G, but it's hard to say this isn't in character for a superstar who never liked the limelight. Thanks for everything Dusty, all the best for whatever comes next.


As an aside a massive FU to the media who ran the gold coast story into the ground and hounded him for the whole year, meaning that it would have been hard for him to get any enjoyment out of this year. Am also pretty annoyed at Hardwick and to a lesser extent cotchin for their part in contributing to these stories. I agree with what caro was saying on footy classified the other week that Hardwick should have just said that he's a legend of Richmond and that gold coast aren't interested in him. Beyond the story aspect he was never going to be a good footy fit anyway. None of this affects his legacy it's just a shame that this cloud was hanging over his last year

 

[harimal12]

Dusty,we will miss you.A Richmond champion.Thankyou for all the good times and memories you gave the tiger army.

 

[Downtown06]

Was in tears

Yep, so was I man, I would do anything to relive those days!!!

 

[The Goon]

Not even sad. Just thankful he played for us and showed us some of the best footy in the biggest games I've ever seen. True champion and legend of the game.

 

[Groupie_]

dumma is gonna try talk him out of it

 

[Joey longshadow]

Sadly all good things come to an end ...Thanks for everything legend ..being at the 2017 Grand final live for the drought breaker was the happiest day of my life I can never thank Dusty and the club enough for that .
