Dustin Martin off-field scandal - Why now?

[@hamishmc2453]

This is absolutely ridiculous, the bloke who leaked this 5 years later on the day of the final, especially after the horrid year that dusty has been through should be ashamed of himself.

[@c.a.marsupial.1282]

Whatever paper has that as their lead story Richmond supporters should never buy that paper or wherever it was published be part of that again. Totally malicious and a dirty low act to publish that today.

[@markferguson8075]

it s a stripper who gives a shit she might even be a hooker

[@sentimentalbloke185]

The more pertinent issue is: did the woman (a) give permission to be filmed while working, and (b) give permission for it to be released to the media 5 years later so that everyone can see it? I daresay the answer to both is no, so the villain of the piece is the person behind the camera. They should not be able to hide behind anonymity.

[@c.a.marsupial.1282]

Your correct about that.

[@susantalbot9982]

Correct

[@jenndyson8966]

if it was someone from Brisbane it shows that they r scared and will do anything to try and put us off the game. After 5 years what is the point of this

[@slink1313]

AFL is behind it for a couple of reasons 1. to derail the tigers premiership campaign (the umpiring and the quickness of the ARC decision on Thursday night also points to this) 2. keeps Brisbane (and with Sydney winning) in the finals which will only help to get more money for their currently being negotiated TV rights deal 3. could also influence Dusty's decision on leaving Melbourne's fish bowl like atmosphere for AFL players. this could be massive for the AFL if he goes to mmm lets say Sydney who will probably be losing Franklin. And we all know the AFL want a big Marquee player for that market to hold the interest of the mostly uninterested Sydney market

[@martinould350]

and people wonder why he doesnt talk to media .... guaranteed that will continue

[@paulsnow1289]

We had this at the pie's this year with our man Jordy, seems " journalist" are the only one's having issues with off field behaviour. Let the boys play and let them live there life!

[@Aussiematee]

for real, we all know of people who have done FAR worse and aren't objected to this kind of public scrutiny

[@adambartlett6421]

Dusty just elevated to legend status

[@percivalsledgehammer9335]

Already there Cobber. But it doesn't hurt to go the extra yard and hint at "Omnipotence." Up The Tigers!

[@jamesdavidson7335]

lol, aaaah, you guys.... ;-) (GO Tiges!)

[@micheledamschke2441]

I once regarded Gerard but…why would he even be discussing this! Horrible man. 🤬

[@williamriddell5206]

It's not great behaviour, but there should be a statute of limitations. He's a different man to what we was 6-7 years ago when the video was taken. Clearly he has matured.

[@jamiekelly6851]

This was a bad move by whoever did this. I'm a bombers supporter but richmond are me second team when they aren't playing the bombers lol. Dusty will probably clean up tonight cause of this.

[@Aussiematee]

5 years later, and also, WHY do this public sports figures allow cameras around in private settings?

[@williamandrew9997]

The Herald Sun is a rag same as the Sun in England

[@JackoPlaysGames]

My opinion: What he did probably wasn’t good, but just fucking leave him and our club alone. Ffs 🤦‍♂️ screw the media and the herald sun. Let’s get the win and shut everyone up. 🐯🐯🐯🐯

[@williamandrew9997]

The woman was a strpper in abar theres no blame on Dusty

[@ivoryb3476]

Son: men and sport live off the corruption that fierce competitions provide, soft politics is what drives us, it is a weak controversial scandal that will come at an unfortunate price for Dustin.

[@imalwaysright]

Somebody from Brisbane is behind this

[@gilbertdwight608]

the football world has desended into the world of of slime and low acts, this is something that would happen only in American politics or sports to mire the game. If the AFL want to investigate or beat their chest about they should include who ever took the footage and why it was released now and the links to Brisbane or any other football club that may be involved, This sort of disclosure before finals etc. will eventually destroy the game as it will happen again down the track to other players and clubs.

[@c.a.marsupial.1282]

Rupert Murdoch causes a lot of the trouble in the USA and he owns the Herald sun. Don't buy Murdoch papers if you are great full for Dustin Martin and what he's done for Richmond.

[@jamesdavidson7335]

Please, let us clarify that if we may. You stated the FOOTBALL world, however, this is the WORLD, period. As I stated somewhere else, we are nothing but a culture in decline and the "vibration" of our species is at a disgustingly low level. Yes, I know why, but no, the answer most do not want to hear or cannot even deal with so of course I will leave it there rather than invite that level vibration to give it's ignorant & mostly worthless opinions.

[@waynedunkley2015]

Lol..he is in a strip club so??? What does a strip club involve? Naked women being ogled by men. What has he done wrong besides touching her. How many guys have not been to a strip club at least once come on.

[@shankspony9369]

There is no form of humanity, lower than a journalist. 2017 Video FFS.

[@c.a.marsupial.1282]

They have sunk to a all time low.

[@alfonsoocchionero3577]

I think the person who leaked this video must go for the lions

[@percivalsledgehammer9335]

This could be a blessing for Dusty and of course, The Tigers. A fair warning to the Lions : Watch out foe Dusty and the whole Tiger “streak” or the incensed “ambush” of Tigers.

[@salsmell6815]

❤shit happens !!! Just concentrate on the game !!!

[@jettstap]

Looks like a stag night what is the context of this -

[@paulmartin3962]

Why wait till now? Dusty just block this noise an lets bring on the lion's. Go tigers

[@goat2503]

Oh so he’s a man that likes women, shock horror, what a scandal! 😮 Honestly it’s an absolute joke, “if you have a personality you can’t play top level sport” you must be a robot.

[@chrisd8598]

What video? Gone. If it can't be viewed, is it still relevant?4

[@aaaaab5909]

Appalling to plaster this everywhere, i doubt the women wants this on front page news. Gerard is a disgrace his siloloquy, lacks nuance and context instead just stirring up the news cycle

[@kellywatts6227]

This is a low attempt to distract the Champ, not a good look but how do they know she didn't give permission tbh. It's the filming and releasing to the media that hasn't been mentioned, bet there was no permission for that.

[@twentyfourseven7988]

Go DUSTY

[@turtle2704]

How and when was the video leaked? I saw someone mentioned it was leaked on Twitter. Was it the Hun or some no-name coward?

[@fellowship8083]

Give us a break for god sakes.

[@twentyfourseven7988]

NICE RACK..... I WOULD'VE DONE THE SAME THING.....5 YRS AGO

[@Stoissy]

should of grabbed them with both hands tbh

[@jamesdavidson7335]

if two hands are required, two hands should be used... ;-)

[@nevmcc3884]

Scratch him for two weeks. Go Lions 🦁🦁

[@Spratdragon]

Yeah what a horrible bloke. Almost as bad as telling a young player his mum should die.

[@c.a.marsupial.1282]

The only thing that will be getting scratch is a lion by a tiger.

[@ralphhaddon7457]

He is leaving Richmond after this year...
