According to Jon Ralph.Dusty has been offered $6mil over 6 years by a Vic club,But according to his manager Dusty wants to wait until at least halfway thru the season.Experts think thats a wait and see how we are travelling in regards to this year and beyond.
I was about to say that. Who the heck has that kind of money in their salary cap?

Can't force him.Its within his rights to wait.Yes it is annoying but hopefully if we back to a few years ago then he will re-sign with us.I have a sneaking suspicion that its been agreed too.We playing well by half season and Dusty will re-sign @800.
If we don't then its bye bye Dusty with our be-grudging blessing.

one of the cotorie needs to employee Dane Swan on 300k, with a potental 300k bonus, and put Tony Doherty on 100k, but Doherty has to pay the costs out of the 100k, it can all be cash so Doherty or however his name is spelled has to buy all the "expenses" out of that 100k. but it is cash, and it for Dusty, so should be lots of contra or free stuff.

Swan gets a 300k bonus if Dusty wins the brownlow.


if Dusty wins the brownlow, part two of Dusty Mahattan project operation pleonasm goes into action.

Part two is getting Dusty's old man his Australian citizenship back, tho, he would have to surrender his sergeant of arms at the Angels. Now, normally, you can onlt usrender your patch if you agree to a shottie to the temple. But, this should be do-able under the circumstances and for an AFL bigwig, like Cuzzy Cuz in Perf, he ruled the roost.

So, Mr Swan needs to get Dusty the brownlow.

work on first principles for everything, manipulation of the umpires, knowing their names, keeping your cool, looking them in the eyes, being their "friends". Preparing right for everygame, and preparing "right" with Tony Doherty. Swan will know all the keys and tools of the trade, and like this year, getting Dusty to play quarters 3 and 4 with the game on the line, instead of coming out fast of the blocks, and just being an average Dusty in quarters 3 and 4.

Well, Swan and Doherty, they will get him flying in quarters 3 and 4.

Dane will have Dusty abiding by the work ethic of Nathan Fyfe. He has an equivalent footy talent, but not the crazy off the field work ethic of Fyfe and other brownlow guys like Hird.

so no drinking thru the week, maybe one or two beers on the bye. nothing more.

all is for the dusty manhattan project operation for 2017. When he wins the Brownlow, McGuire, Tanner, Costello, Wylie, even John Elliott, bring in everyone with a smidgeon or smidgin or smidgon of power and influence in Canberra, to lay it over Dutton and say Dusty's old man needs his visa and citizenship back and he is a proper and upstanding member of society. But to do that, Dusty needs to meet some social affirmation like what the Brownlow would bring.

Blackburn United EPL ... sorta
Just pay him what it takes. Best player in the comp. I'm unsure why it's even a debate. He proved tonight that he is top drawer. Build your whole premiership team around him. This is where we have gone wrong for years. Go hard or go home Tiges.

Wouldn't say he is the BEST player but **** me if he isn't top 4 now.

Easily worth a 5 year front loaded deal if you have the cash ... if you don't, easily 800K each year. You cannot afford to let this guy walk.
