As good as he is and most of the AFL community including Dusty himself knows how good he is , he is just happy being himself and he doesnt care what the outside world thinks because of his belief in himself ,hes just happy doing his thing and letting the result take care of itself , hes 1 very humble and unique human being. And we are the lucky ones who get to witness his journey. A true role model on and off the ground ,RESPECT

Spot on!!

So Dustin genuinely doesn't like doing interviews. This was tough for him. I'm not a Richmond fan but if you don't admire how good this man is at the game, then you need help. I think I enjoyed mostly listening to his almost ethereal overview of what the game is to him & his child-like enjoyment each time he goes out to play. There is an intensity there that is quite scary but it's tempered by a warmth I never expected. Some people are shy because underneath they're actually a-holes & they usually know they are. I don't believe this is true of Dustin. I get the impression he is genuinely shy but he'll put up with morons for as long as he has to then walk away at his first opportunity. There is an inherent kindness in the way he pervades Nick's interview with his intensity & it's obviously challenging for Nick. I dare say he's probably a bit moody at times but in this interview it was warmth despite not wanting to be there. Incredibly impressed with his insight into who he is & a bit surprised as well. No, I didn't expect that at all. Dustin above all knows who he is.

People are always going to hate on the best... But just look at his record and Awards clearly a future Hall of Fame inductee and eventually a spot on the AFL Legends List is inevitable.. A true man that bleeds Yellow and Black

A Legend interviewing Legend can’t get better than these guys

Two of my footy heroes, the great Nick Riewoldt and the spectacular Dustin Martin. My son went to high school with Dusty, apparently a really nice quiet kid, not a show off even though extremely talented even then.Fine young man.

It’s funny how there are so many people out there who think he is overrated player but then what he did in the finals against cats I Think it should shut them up...

Much respect to dusty in his growth, and outlook on life ect. 👍

Well here it goes... I was born into a Carlton clan, my Poppa played for them. So from birth Ive not been a big fan of Richmond, ha. But I friggen love this bloke! What a humble fairdinkum young man. And how many footy players would do an interview and show such emotion for the love of his old man. There needs too be more kids like this, hopefully all the young fans not just Tigers fans but footy fans can see this bloke and how he carries himself on and off the field. I have a mate whos a Tigers diehard and took his young son and daughter too a family day. (I think that’s what it’s called?) and Dustin Martin was right there among the kids, he even sat on the ground with them and totally inspired my mates young daughter to follow her dream to be a “girl Dusty”.. now, he didn’t have to do that, and spend time with young fans like that. But I hear he’s like that all the time, it’s not put on, that’s him. I really hope for your club and all your mad fans that Dustin gets the chance to be a one club player for the rest of his career, that would be special and he seems like a staunch loyal footy player. I recon he might? Don’t get me wrong, Carlton and probably every team in AFL would gladly have him. But I really hope the Tigers look after him and his family. I just saw today that he’s taken some time off to grieve for his old man. I really hope he gets the time he needs and that he’s got the support around him. Well I never thought I’d comment on a Richmond KZread page haha. This young bloke got me inspired too! Cheers from a Staunch Blues fan but also a huge Dusty fan. And he’s really only hitting his straps, I don’t think he’s even got to his peak yet. Bloody Lucky Richmond again haha.

Dusty is gold

Great interview Nick,Dusty you are such a humble person and an absolute legend of the game in every way.

Have loved watching him progress from where he was to where he is both as player and person. Whether he is the best of all time doesn't matter. He does things on a footy field that I have never seen before. Others have too to be fair but Dusty has some signature moves and a presence that just makes you feel something is about to happen. Love this bloke

St. Kilda fan here, Dusty one of the best no argument.

The thing I love about AFL accolades is that they reward being the Fairest and the Best on ground. If you end up at the Tribunal, you are out of contention. Having players that are this good, yet show teamwork, leadership, camaraderie and good sportsmanship is a wonderful thing. Fancy the awards coming your way being voted on by the referees and the commentators and the opposition players - they are true awards for deserving greats of the game. Nick was also one of them! Good on you Dusty, his award speeches are always too short, coz he is genuinely humbled by the attention.

I’m a bombers fan but I fkn appreciate greatness. What a legend

My love to Dusty!!amazing player!!!❤💯keep it up !!! What a joy to watch you play football!!!

Peripheral vision, instinct, belief he has it all... It's no fluke where he is... I'm a mad Rugby man but this guy makes me want to watch AFL. The guys a Freeeaak!!

He is the benchmark player of 2021 and has been for the last two or three years. Being a Cats supporter it's not that hard to admit it now. Had he not been in the Tigers grand final side last year, it might have been enough for the Cats to sneak across the line. Please retire now Dusty.

Nick isnt asking enough open ended questions to be a real journo but still speaks well.

Since many people keep coming back to Carey, Ablett, Mathews etc... I just wanted to give a shout out to Mick Conlan (Fitzroy for the younger generation). Although not in the same freak zone as these guys, it's worth pointing out that he had the build and professionalism of a FULL TIME FOOTBALLER when the game was virtually a part time sport. He would have slotted into ANY side today. Built like a brick shithouse he would run through opposition with contempt. Don't forget the "tv aspect" of the time made everyone look tall and skinny and he still presented like a bull. Would have loved to have seen Lethal and Mick collide for a footy.....or maybe not - could have been tragic

It was very disheartening to hear them both speak about Dustins father and how how was looking forward to seeing his father watch him in the near future play in Australia..and reflecting on what has happened in the past two years. His past few years have dropped he has also had some injuries however I can fully understand what loosing a parent can do to someone in so many ways. Dustin is a very emotional person and his dad was everything to him anc its left a huge void one that I believe has caused him lots of self reflection. Sometimes that can sturr up things that hold someone back. I really believe Richmond especially dimma let the side down all his talk about Richmond being a family Club and what it meant to the Players. Then he leaves his wife and children for a women that worked at the club. Family man my backside.😢

The 3 thumbs down must be Port, Cats or Lions supporters, very salty 🧂😜!!!

Dusty is a great footballer, but how people can call him the best player they have ever seen baffles me. There have been so many champion players throughout the history of the game and the fact that people disregard them just to name dusty as the best player of all time is an insult. Wayne carey, gary ablett snr and leigh matthews just to name a few, keep in mind none of them won a brownlow, stats don’t determine every outcome.

True, a lot of people only focus on the result (which is a really toxic mindset), but in reality, numbers are just numbers, don’t mean anything, if the score was say 79 - 77, the result says the loser was almost good enough but not quite, when in reality the losing team could have not taken certain chances and had missed opportunities, and had they taken them they would have won by 4 goals.
