The likes of swallow, Higgins, zieball, goldy etc would all be well over that as they still need to pay 95% of tpp. They have the space for both plays, game on but if we're talking 1.6 for dusty then I'd unhappily bid him adieu.
I highly doubt they are offering 1.6 over 6 yrs. The mail was 15 mill total for the 2 players (or there abouts). 9 mill over 9 yrs is fairly common knowledge for the Kelly offer from what I hear. 1.6 over 6 to Dusty would put it closer to 19 mill. I agree though, if it is that, even 1.5, we shouldnt match.

On the norf board they are saying they front end loaded a few of their contracts to make way for doozys. There is little doubt they would be the most cashed up club in the AFL.

Both Go North! 2018 father sons prospects - Nick Blakey and Bailey Scott are eligible to nominate for 2 other clubs - Blakey with Brisbane / Sydney and Scott with Brisbane / Geelong. Good chance they won't get either of them.
Sort of reverse father and son however. Normally you want the son cos his dad was a gun.
In these cases they need the son to be an upgrade on the father.

Heard a Norf supporter on SEN this morning getting all worked up saying if they can get Martin, Kelly and keep their No. 2 draft pick, hahahahahah completly delusional. Probably the same guy on the Dusty thread on the drafts board saying Richmond would be happy with a mid first round compo pick plus Hansen for Martin. Gold Jerry, Gold.

It was probably Go North! supporter Snake_Baker, he has posted a staggering 175 posts on the Dusty trade thread on the main board.
Obsessed or what.

I've stated that im in the camp that thinks its more likely he's going or already decided to leave but in saying that, Gale, Balme and even Richo have stated positively that they think we're in a good position to retain him.

These guys are pretty close to it all and if there was a sniff and doubt he was going I doubt they would be so publicly bullish about it all. Not sure if I'm trying to convince myself here but I think the norf flogs should calm their farm and arrogance that it's a done deal, as they will have egg on their face if it falls through.
