Dustin Martin under scrutiny for middle finger and drug snorting gesturesRichmond star Dustin Martin could be in hot water after giving the finger, before making a drug-snorting gesture at GWS player Shane Mumford. Try as hard as you like, you will never clean up the AFL. Just listening to the Players being interviewed on TV, we know we’re dealing with the shallow end of the Gene Pool. Rugby League is no different. Give young Men access to massive amounts of money and, they will show you. We all need to give the middle finger to the liar of all liars Bill Shorten!!!

It is impossible to even 'fart' without some camera or microphone following and recording every movement and sound. This generation is paying a big price for this technology. Stay classy Richmond!! Dusty targeting someone's drug use would be like Sherman Klump targeting someone's donut consumption...
