Player Watch #4: Dustin Martin

[Sir_Loin]

If he does sign what does it mean for attracting more talent to the club?

My sphincter is twitching with the possibility that the only player we bring in next year outside the draft is Casboult

 

[Tigerbob68]

Seems strange to announce his decision then when he has said all year it was at the end of season.
Didn't Callan Ward and Scully announce they were leaving with games to play?

He probably meant at the end of North's season

If he did that he would be a campaigner and you'd be welcome to him

But he ain't and you won't

Doubt you would have $$ to get anyone else.
Meanwhile we can still hit the draft with an early pick.

 

[Moshie The Mook]

This.
If he turns around a week out from finals and says 'im off to #lolnorf' then he is a campaigner no?

Zero chance.

I almost feel for the arden street scrubbers. Might as well fold.

 

[mellowyellow]

He did, if this is true then the haters should eat dirty *****.

Yeah, but I don't think Bulldogs and Melbourne were in contention for top 4 and finals in 5-6 years ago.
Richmond are and Dusty has been a machine this year. I highly doubt he would say he's leaving when finals are just around the corner.

If you lose all 4 games there is a chance you finish 8th or 9th.

No, we're playing finals AND we're keeping Dusty.

Not strange or it's just to re-sign with Richmond

You better get busy then

Would certainly be unconventional to tell the club before finals that you are defecting to another team when you're about to go into battle with your current team.

Surely it doesn't take a genius to figure that out, and you'd hope that even the media will be able to figure that out.

Was at the Sponsors Dinner 3 weeks ago. TheLoungeLizard got talking to Valy Crowe who is extremely close with Di Richardson. Valy is absolutely sure based on what Di had told her (given to her from Richo), that Dusty is going nowhere.

Valy is an amazing lady. A beautiful person.

Yep. This. It would be super awkward between the playing group, the coaches and the fans and no doubt hurt our performance.

 

[joelsyt]

I'm taking this positively, if we make finals I can't see him announcing a week out from finals that he's leaving Richmond. Why would you destabilise a club like that? It'd be a dog act to do and if he does do this then North are welcome to him, but I don't think he will.

 

[Sir_Loin]

Yes. Yes we do.

This suggests to me that Dusty will be staying at Richmond.

I'm guessing there would be some criteria that Martin wanted to see from the tigers. That criteria has been met and he is ready to put pen to paper. 5 years at 6.5 million

I reckon it favours us more than anyone else. IF he decides to make his decision before finals. It will most likely be that he is re-signing with us.
I don't think Dusty would go out and say I'm leaving Richmond, a few days before finals. He's not the type of guy to do that I think.

how dare you speak some sense on this forum

I'd write it as Tom Erown

Or just 'Fuc*wit'.

I'm confident we would manage the situation to ensure we could recruit to fill a current list deficiency being a tall forward.
If not, I'd want us to fire our entire list management team.

Yep. Didn't talk to her much apart from a 5 minute conversation but she is wonderful. So kind and welcoming.

Yes. Yes we do.

What a time to be alive.

If you lose all 4 games there is a chance you finish 8th or 9th.

And if you lose all 4 of which i suspect you will, you will finish bottom and that is an AFL record implosion to go from 9-0 and 1st to 5-17 and 18th inside 35 home and away games.

You could lose all 4 games and finish last and Dusty wouldn't go to a wooden spoon side. Your point? Stop baiting. Last warning. This is our board and you are a guest. Be respectful when you post.
