Play Nice Dustin Martin to North | 31/8: DM signed at RFC for 1.3m/7yrs

[fusion]

Channel 7 following Martin to NZ is a joke. His manager is doing a great charade of making it look like the decision is 50:50 to try to squeeze Richmond for more. I honestly can't see Martin leaving Richmond - the lack of an announcement shouldn't be over interpreted. He just does things differently.

is that the one that involves 2 short people a stuffed Labrador 5lt of chilled banana custard and a 9 iron

Yeah, they had to take the Amazonian tribesmen out of the set up.

Too many spear injuries.

Just another night in the media:

Just **** off you drunk campaigner - hit the bottle and crawl back into the gutter you habitat

 

[The Nostradamus]

Our offer is too good to refuse.

Confident he comes over, if he doesn't sign in the next week reckon we can lock him in

 

[Firestarter]

Wow, this whole situation is quite intriguing. What's your opinion though fellow supporters, is North being silly offering him so much?? Will we be right to make sure we secure the likes of Browny etc. for our future?

Like $1.5mill. Jeez. That's a lot. Do you think he actually likes the idea of coming to North as a club???

I still don't see him leaving though.

The tears would be worth it.

 

[hotham]

He's certifiable.

Alcohol related brain injury ??

 

[Dirty_11]

LOL I forgot the Brownlow memorabilia argument, which is so incredibly strange and stupid that it doesn't even bear repeating or explaining.

You also forgot the opin6iin pieces suggesting we should relocate and that our coach is likely to walk out on his contract. These just conveniently thrown in to suggest our future is unstable.

Caro reporting the same thing

"The Richmond offer is also now a seven-year deal but worth $1.1 million per season. Should Martin not commit to the Tigers this week upon returning to Melbourne then North believe he is theirs."

 

[Orange Peanut]

I'm starting to have an 'Australian World Cup bid' feeling about all this.

Have to say, for all the lols, Carr and cameras on the ground in NZ looks a lot more like threatening Richmond than anything else.

That grab makes it seem like Caro had spoken to someone from our club.

Which would be total bullshit.

Yeah what are the chances Carr leaked the flight times?

First off, I don't think we'll have a problem locking up our own to long terms deals if we bring Martin in. His contract would be heavily front loaded for the first year or two, giving us room to move after that. You also have to factor in players on decent coin likely to leave in the next couple of years (Waite, Swallow, possibly Goldy, Thomas, Thompson potentially). Bottom line, we should have no issues with that

The offer is a touch overpriced for mine, but to get a out and out superstar like Martin to leave, that's what it's going to take. Does he want to come? Thats the three million dollar question. Our offer is that far apart from Richmond's that it could go either way at this point, whereas say a month or so ago, it was a near certainty he'd recommit to Richmond given our offer wasn't that much different to theirs

I also see him staying as well, but we're far from out of this

Very early in this thread, I posted that we were 90% certain. Earlier today, NN posted we were 99.9% certain he was coming. Looks an absolutely certainty now.

100%.

How the **** would she know what North "believes"?

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

She's no different to any other reporter involved. They are all making shit up.

 

[Snake_Baker]

She's no different to any other reporter involved. They are all making shit up.

In her case it is more blatant than most as she is banned by the club.

Good enough for me.

Twinkletoes start warming up the hamstrings. It's almost time...

 

[Carlos Herrrnandez]

I paid a visit to the draft and trading board...now my head hurts.

Some of the craziness written, bizzaro. I love opposition supporters saying that it will ruin out pay structures for years, and cripple us.

Kudos to the club for having a crack at him. Proud of us trying for something different. If it works, awesome. If it doesn't, so be it.

While I don't see retaining old mate until 2020 as striving for the best, this reeks of ambition.

IT'S HAPPENING?

You'd be surprised who Caro sat in the Tree with during the 80s. In fact I'm surprised that there were people willing to "sit" with her in that tree. :stern look
