The stars could align for Martin to replace Franklin, with both players off-contract at the end of the 2022 season.
Imagine what they would be saying about Buddy’s career if he stayed at the Hawks. Five time premiership player. Just couldn’t get the team success at his new club.In a century from now people will still be talking about Buddy, while Martin will have long since been forgotten about.
No way they would be stupid enough to do another 10 yr dealSydney might be once-bitten, twice-shy about doing another one of those deals.
Unlikely. Both will probably be forgotten/ unknown to the new generation.In a century from now people will still be talking about Buddy, while Martin will have long since been forgotten about.

I’d love Dusty to stay a one club player.
But if the Swans were to offer him a 5 year contract once his Richmond one expires, I wouldn’t begrudge him.
Would always be seen as a Richmond player, like Buddy will be looked back on as a Hawk.

Actually the further back you go the less premierships matter. I know of Bob Pratt from the 30's because he was one of the best players of his era (easier for a forward as they tend to get remembered more) but I have no idea how many premierships he won. In fact every player I know of before WW2 (which admittedly is not a lot) I only know of because of who they were as players, not based on what team they played for or how many premierships they got.
I don't think history (and I am talkng about 50 or more years into the past) really cares about how many premierships a player wins.
Would premierships + Norm Smiths + Brownlow + All Australians + B&Fs jog anyone's memory though? It might.

Dusty's free in a few years!
I’m talking in 100 years like the Swans dude said. Can anyone here name the norm Smith/grand final award equivalent winner for the 1921 grand final?Dustin Martin is a 3-time Norm Smith Medalist— will be mentioned on Grand Final Day every year for the foreseeable future.
2yrs eh.
Unlike Buddy.
Dusty would cost draft picks.
