How the **** do they get "he may follow me out the door"? He said he thinks he will stay!
He looked very tenative to me.
And conceeded that with free agency that more and more players will leave clubs.

Jesus mate. Drawing low bows there. Ch 7 says there is speculation.
Delidio says he doesn't know.

I'm not sure what your point is?
Just providing a link to where the leadership group meeting was mentioned.
It's all speculation
However i do believe he has met with senior players and staff of North.

Hahahahaha... he didn't exactly confirm it either... c'mon mate, you're clutching at straws.
I'm not clutching at anything, it was asked in here the source of that particular rumour and I obliged. I've said a couple of times I put no stock in it.

Like I have said all along, i back the news I was given. The funny thing is, nothing factual, outside of Dusty's manager carr coming out saying he will sign at the end of the year has been proven. Norf supporters claim he has met the leadership group, yet they cant prove it. They claim a monster offer, yet again they cant prove it.

The little I personally know of Dusty and from what I have heard from many people who do know him is that he intensely loyal to his mates and he has a shit load of mates at the richmond footy club. For him to leave, he would have to be offered more money then any other player has been offered before and norf are not stuipid like there supporters are in thinking they could absorb 1.6 to 1.7m a year for a mid for 7 years, particularly when they have to secure what quality they have on there list next year like brown...they will hamstring themselves.

also most are grossly underestimating the cap space we have freed up. I honestly believe Dusty will stay and till proven otherwise, ill continue to believe it.
This, 100 times over again. NM have not once confirmed they have offered him $1.5m+, I'm almost certain some NM BF poster with "inside knowledge" was the first to drop this value, and the media have run with it. Fact of the matter is, very little journalists, and especially NO BF poster, will ever know what contract have been offered, as I highly highly doubt Dusty, Carr, Dan Richo, Balme or NM equivalent will ever leak to the media the official numbers being offered. People do not give enough credit to NM, the admin are not stupid enough to offer 1 player that much.

Where do these secret meetings happen? he had coffee with Carr and there were a million cameras there, bloke can't take a piss without it being reported on.

Do you blokes have an underground bunker with secret access tunnels for meetings?

I'm with you T71... Next year we don't have any Deledio or Yarran money on the books too.
From what I know of Dusty in the few times I've met him, he's an extremely shy person. I can't see him wanting to start all over again, plus be expected to be the face of a club.
The way it stands at Richmond right now he can front up to the games each week, play his heart out, conduct a quick post match interview if required and leave the rest of the media up to Dimma, Balme, Cotch, Jack and Rancey. Exactly the way he likes it.
Even then the only reason he is hounded for after match interviews is because of the contract stuff and they hope they can get something from what he says.

Once the contract is out of the way we will probably find he won't do anywhere near the amount of interviews.

At Go North! it will be "Daily with Dusty" cause maybe apart from Sideshow Bob I can't think of a single Go North! player anyone including Go North! fans would want to hear from.

Bloody hell! Could be the quickest century ever.
lol at those now bagging Dusty as he has not deviated one iota from the start of the season.
All the newshounds, "experts" and supporters MUST have their opinions aired and it's mostly amusing.
We will all know when we know.

Not only does Deledio say he isn't sure he follows up with that he thinks he'll stay! Hahaha

Prob not the best vid to use.

Who knows I'm sure there are places though.
Maybe at Marleys house lol.

I'll bid you all farewell and maybe he will announce sometthing next week.
Stevo has reiterated on twitter that it could be a private decision and not an announment though.
Time will tell.

I didn't view that way at all look at his body language.
Looks unsure but leaning towards doubt.
FFS, he is not at the club. The doubt stems from the fact he wouldn't have a clue because he is not there.

Fev is actually good mates with Dusty. They have a good mutual friend.
The friend runs the boxing gym that Dusty goes to on his days off.

Swans are paying Buddy that kind of $ and it hasn't screwed up their cap. Have all their best players signed to 4-6 year deals and just recently re-signed Reid & Jones despite supposedly better offers from Melbourne clubs.

Doesn't seem to be distracting Dusty, playing the best football of anyone in the league at present and has all year. Can't see him jumping to a cot case like the wooden spooners Norf.
I and others here would like to think so but 1.5m x 7 is a lot of money.
