Magpies cause
for celebration BROWNLOW MEDAL
BY LUKE WEST
STEVE Adamson acknowl-
edges there hasnt been a lot
for Campbells Creek to cele-
brate over the past 64 years.
Thats how long ago it
was that the Magpies won
their last senior premier-
ship 1953 in the Mary-
borough-Castlemaine Dis-
trict league.
The Magpies are best
known as the 100-goal
club for the day in June,
1990, when they wrote their
name into the Guinness
Book of Records for their
senior score of 100.34 (634)
against Primrose.
However, the Magpies
now have another claim to
fame the junior club of
newly-crowned AFL Brown-
low medallist Dustin Martin.
Martin first played juniors
with Campbells Creek in the
under-10s and one of the
most treasured possessions
of Adamson as passionate
about the Magpies as they
come is one of Martins first
registration forms that he
now has framed.
Now a superstar with
Richmond where he is a Ti-
gers cult hero, Martin polled
a record 36 votes on Monday
night to win the Brownlow.
We havent had too much

Dustin win the Brownlow
Medal, well, this is some-
thing to celebrate, Adamson
said late Monday night.
Adamson coached Martin
for one year in the under-12s
in 2001 and on Monday night
was the chief organiser of a
Brownlow Medal function at
Campbells Creeks Five Flags
Hotel, which was filled with a
sea of yellow and black.
One of the drinks being
served on the night was a
Dustin Martini.
I knew halfway through
the season that he was going
to be a very strong chance of
winning the Brownlow, Ad-
amson said.
Its absolutely amazing
what he has achieved and
it was great to see the place
here tonight was packed.
When he played in our
juniors you could tell that he
had something special. As a
10-year-old he could kick so
well on both his left and right
foot who does that at 10
years of age?
One of the trademarks
of the powerful Martin has
become his iconic dont
argue fend off of opposi-
tion players.
According to Adamsons
wife, Kerrie, the dont ar-
gue was one of the traits of
Martins uncle, Steve Knight,
during his football career
at Harcourt.
