FYI - I was out for dinner tonight in Sorrento. Had my Tigers scarf on. At the next table was Caroline Wilson and her mum and others. They saw my scarf and said how much they love it! I asked Caro - "please Caro, I HAVE to ask........Dusty?"
That's all I said lol and her response was "he's going nowhere - not leaving the Tigers".

The club themselves have been nothing but ridiculously confident that he's not leaving.

Forgive the intrusion - hope you keep him.
I just don't get how his manager can risk the likelihood of a long term injury for so long and NOT have him signed up somewhere.
If he does a knee he's out of pocket $4 million as nobody will go more than a two year contract after watching Jaeger's year. That's a lot of money to risk on haggling an extra 15%.
Plus if he gets that 15% he's basically killing his chances of a premiership due to the cap.
I see a possible Martin to GC, Ablett to Cats, 1st rounder to Tigers. The league would love that. Tigers not so much.

We already have the Cats first rounder though.

cant happen, in order to trade him wed need to match whatever big money offer GC gave, then force them to trade. If were matching the big money offer why would he leave?

Im amazed that some on here are questioning dusty and his possible leaving, if he leaves he leaves, the club will go on, lets celebrate a once in a generation tiger for what he is, I put my



very early in this thread and he is staying... pay him what he wants, he deserves it

They should let Cotch give Dusty the Brownlow. Technically Cotchin is the latest winner of the medal.
Also. Boo-f*cking-hoo Patty and Gil. Stop having a sook you campaigners.

so Paddy is no certainty to present the brownlow, but James Hird is ok to present the Norm Smith, fmd we are Australians , get rubbed out for a football offence get sent to Coventry, orchestrate the biggest cheating ped drug taking in this country history get rewarded Gilligan needs to go

We are guaranteed in Melbourne.
That was just fat Hutcho dribbling shit.
It's not for me to say how strong that guarantee is. The only guarantee I can trust with your mob is uncertainty...GC, Ballarat, Tassie...see the pattern regardless of who is president? One day I spose it will get sorted once and for ever...until the following year.

But yeah...Crutchy is a wank!
