Lets look at Go North! here, forget who they are targeting and look at Go North!

1. Coach: caro states that Scott's career hinges on whether they get a big fish or not, if i was Scott i would be ringing GC and if successful turn around and give the finger to Go North!.

2. List: caro also states that if Go North! land a big fish they will shelve plans to rebuild, great list management that :rolleyes: a poster on here who watched that show said Lloyd was like " WTF " your club finishes last and you shelve a rebuild because of one player.

3 Salary Cap room: reports are Go North! have 2.2m to play around with and we hear they are going to blow 68% of that on one player

To me that is a club who are in massive massive denial about where they stand are purely going for the look at us contract signing.

Smart clubs don't offer 1.5m contracts, only dumb desperate clubs do.

If this was Richmond right now and we were heading for the spoon i would want the board, recruitment staff and all the coaching staff and yes SunshineTiger i do think this.............SACKED.
Why do I get a mention in this ?

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.
And yet the hawks didn't/couldn't match because it would have ruined their cap. It's a bit easier when you're playing with the house's money. Geelong the same with GAJ.

Plus Sydney did lose Tom Mitchell and Nank due to their cap squeeze and will have to move on Tippet this year. Also as you said they signed Reid and Jones for unders, says a lot about the quality of the club.


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.
Don't forget that Chris Newman was Best Man at Fevs wedding and vice versa from memory.

Is there a Brownlow bonus in playing contracts?

If there is, he would obviously win each year that he was playing fit for the Kangas... Can't see too many team mates stealing the three votes from Dusty. Does that sit in the TPP? Maybe they are upping the contract from 1.25 per year, with a Brownlow bonus....

Norf: Look Dusty, come and play for us, and you will get three votes in a loosing side each week......

is it hard to get three votes in a team that's losing?

Shane Mumford anybody? Wasn't he the first casualty of Buddy's arrival?

He said end of the year so lets wait until the end of the year instead of melting 15 pages every night.

The sky doesn't fall if he doesn't sign before finals as it will show his mind is actually on finals and winning them. Carr has form in players holding out until the end of their contracts as per the norm in the entertainment industry (Cloke, Martin have both done this previously and stayed) and in this case he has been proven 100% spot on as Dusty is now commanding a much higher $.

If we were to win the flag and Dusty was to dominate a Grand Final (stuff of dreams i know but bare with me for this hypothetical) his value would leap again as rightly or wrongly September form is an even bigger determinant of value.

Carr and Martin are 100% spot on to wait until after finals to make a decision and i advise a few in here to go for a walk outside and get some fresh air and enjoy the next month before worrying about whether he stays or goes.
Well said.

You've been terrific.

Docklands Dusty: The stats favouring the Roos
Matt Thompson August 22, 2017 2:47 PM

DUSTIN Martin plays better footy at Etihad Stadium, a fact that's set to have North Melbourne fans salivating as negotiations on his future heat up.




What effing nonsense. As if ANY effing player in their right effing mind would favour Docklands over the MCG.

Here's a stat you didn't include - Dusty on average wins more games at the MCG than Docklands.

Whoever the hell you are Matt Thompson, you my friend are a nut job.

Carry on melting then friend... if it upsets you that much not sure why you would put yourself through it when he has said all along end of season but if you want to melt give me your best melt
Who's melting? It's you that's melting about melting. The melts will come if he leaves. Everyone else is just discussing and commenting on it. Passionately in some instances. Not sure why you or anyone else would have a problem with that on a footy board set up to talk about? That's right, footy.
