Martin is keen on us but Bulldogs offer is very good

Will we consider increasing our offer a bit?

 

[HBF]

Love Eddie, but let's move on from him as a player

If we still had pick 8, I am taking Rivers

Flanders?

No

 

[Cripptonite]

No

Good to hear we are holding firm! Would prefer we prioritise Papley and an A-grade mid

In your opinion which club is more likely to get Martin?
Thanks

I agree. The question is, who?

 

[Red Bull]

I agree. The question is, who?

I can live with waiting for the answer as long as there is an answer ...

Doesn’t like the environment at the Crows..

I think the posters against taking Eddie back need to think back to his departure. Had a down year when MM upset the amigos, before a huge resurgence at the crows. Those thinking he is done need to evaluate the output of a happy player versus the noncommitted want away he was this season at the Crows. Note, he still kicked more goals than any of our players. Eddie is still the premier x factor small crumbing forward in the game.

The value as a mentor and coach and the publicity opportunity for our resurgent club are almost impossible to ignore. Given the war chest we have, it would not be ridiculous to absorb his Crows contract for a year, with triggers to a second year playing on a much reduced contract flowing in to a coaching, mentoring and welfare role long term. This would add to the likely "destination club" status of the Blues. It needs to be remembered if we don't use the banked salary cap, we lose access to it. If we pay his contract, then we give Adelaide a Rhys Palmer level pick.

Unless the Bulldogs offer is phenomenal, I am hoping SOS gives a little to acquire Martin. I am sure he would find a prime role, but is a genuine jack of all trades with an under rated hard edge to his game and top notch disposal

But will stay if no other options

 

[PumpyChowdown]

I agree. The question is, who?

Not who. When. We are going to have a very deep list all expecting increased pay in the coming years and without long term planning and wage control NOW we may be forced to shed players that we would rather not in the future.

If money is the factor..off to the bulldogs but hopefully the direction the club is going might sway our way.

 

[myblueroan]

No

Thank you magicball.

 

[Juddrockz]

Thanks barass70.
Whats your feel on Eddie getting back to the Blues?

 

[barass70]

Teague wants him back.. Lloyd only on seduced contract and SOS is not overly keen

 

[footyfan1978]

So he less than 40% chance of getting back to club he loves.
If he does it probably means we did not get Papley so ideally we get Papley and no need.

Hmmmm
Silvagni not keen on Betts and not willing to entice Martin.
What’s he up too i wonder ...

 

[I bleed Blue]

Our chances with Papley looking good Barass?

Hmmmm
'Seduced contract' eh?
In-treeeeeeging. Happy to supply perfume and champagne if needed.

I best not ask...

 

[HARKER]

I don't see why the Dogs would prioritise Martin.
Keath and Bruce I get, but Martin not so much.

I guess they have freed up quite a bit of money with Boyd departing, so they can afford to be a little more adventurous.
If it's a matter of money then he'll likely go to the Dogs. The manager will likely make sure of that.

Silly lateral minds eh?
I love having a canter with barass30. They is a thoroughbred.

Sounds like Martin is about more than money. Let's hope the management don't sway him toward doggies.
