Player Watch #4: Dustin Martin

[BKM78]

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.

 

[Spagman]

The minute he even hints at taking the North deal, every single other club will be driving to his front door with massive or bigger deals. If North supporters think that they have this deal stitched up, they're deluded.

Not worried at all. He's a Tiger man through and through.

Norf players would do anything if it meant trolling Richmond.

Both LOLNorf 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.

Zero concern here

Oh Shit!

 

[This Is Anfield]

Another million Big Footy pages and media articles... and still nothing concrete.
No news is good news... isn't it!!!!

 

[DickieKnee]

Saints will have cash too. I wonder if the delay on signing Nick and Montagna rests on them getting Dusty.

 

[Spanish_Fly]

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.

 

[Spanish_Fly]

Only team I'm worried about losing Dusty to is Hawks, cant see anything else realistically happening and I think its 90% we keep him.

Although Hawks aren't the dominating side they were. Still the chance to play under Clarkson may be a factor.

Don't know what the panic is all about.
I remember when we lost Raines, Cloke and Taylor to Collingwood and that didn't have an adverse effect on the club.

It was probably lolNorf 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.

 

[Tigerturbulance]

If they can afford both Kelly and Martin, surely the rest of the team are getting severely underpaid?

Haven't you watched them play? The rest of the team are obviously being over paid

Saints are offering in between 1.3 1.5 py over 5 to 6 years.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

Saints are going after Kelly.

 

[DickieKnee]

I don't think we'd stretch to 1.5.

Where did you get that info from?

 

[BKM78]

I don't think we'd stretch to 1.5.

I don't think we should.

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

I don't think we should.

No way.... That's insane, he'd want to perform like he is now for every 1 of his 6 years. One bad injury away from having 3 Mil sit on the sidelines
