Player Watch #4 Dustin Martin

[dwwaino]

When I was undergoing my cancer battle I lost one of my kidneys
I had to have multiple stents put in to try and keep it functioning
After the procedure I was pissing blood for days and felt like razor blades

I was going to say it felt pissing fire but razor blades is another good comparison.

Hope you're going well now mate

Yeah all good for the most part
One testicle and kidney lighter along with a couple of on going things but by comparison they are nothing

Plus it gives me some fun story’s and a chance to guilt trip people about it every so often, I got NaturalDisaster a beauty once

Coaches box for sure

I think Dusty has surpassed Dane in all aspects and yeah he’s probably still a mate but Dusty is maturing.

Dane Swan acts like a *******, the guy uploads video of himself on Instagram reviewing Samboy chips and Allen’s lollies.

 

[SavDog23]

I hope that he returns next year like nothing has happened. Will be heartbroken if he cant reach the same levels.

had the serious kidney injury in 2006, lapsed in and out of a coma.
He returned to play a role in the 2011 premiership.

Yeah, but he had age on his side Dusty is 30 and maybe harder to come back from.

 

[mauricerioli]

We all need to stop dissecting it - AFL is a collision sport - players know the risks and its why we love the game

No, Neil tried to push dusty over the ball, big difFFFFFF

There was nothing in it from Neale regardless, I agree he did nothing wrong, just a normal contest for the ball.

But I was responding to a post that said Dusty initiated contact with Robinson, which is nonsense.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Still in hospital. It's more about his future health than football at this stage.
I recommend he find a skillful athletic women (not an uncoordinated instagram model) and make some future father and son picks.

Toms was more severe , he actually lost the kidney . Dusty has a lacerated kidney , no surgery it will repair itself with r&r

Wait! Is the nut gone or numb?

One is gone and the other is sometimes numb depending on cold your hands are

My hands are always warm

I know <3

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Having a pessimistic attitude towards the recovery is not constructive, each to their own.

Sam Kerr, don't @ me

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Sam Kerr, don't @ me

What's this

 

[Barnzy]

Get well soon Dusty. This guy has been an iron man.

I think at the end of his career it will come out he has played through a ton of injuries given his physical style. He is just a freak.

And it took a freak accident to take him out. Injuries look too much to overcome this year for us so not a bad time for him to rest and recharge if you try to look for positives.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Has their been any update of the injury grade?

3/5?

I was fearing the worse tbh

 

[biaseddustyfan]

Does anyone know when they are officially changing it from Norm Smiff medal to Dusty Martin medal?

Ah ok, i missed the context sorry!

 

[Grrr]

Does anyone know when they are officially changing it from Norm Smiff medal to Dusty Martin medal?

Well you've let the cat out of the bag now.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Still in hospital? Doesn't sound great
