Player Watch #4: Dustin Martin

[DickieKnee]

Is #lolnorf 's offer 1.3 over 6?

Yes. Works out to 7.8 mil deal. Interesting thing is they revised Kellys offer from 9mil over 9 years to 7.5 over 5 years. This with Dustys 7.8 matches their board approved 15 mil warchest. I can see them being too greedy to get both and missing out completely lol. They should have concentrated all their effort on one IMO.

Then why state anything at all if he was holding off until after the season
My guess is that announcement is imminent in the affirmative for staying at the club

I agree, I think all the media in the last week saying he must be going has prompted Carr to come out with this to signal to Richmond that he is likely to stay. If he does want to stay at the tigers, on the best money he can get, the last thing they want is Richmond to decide he is likely to go and pull the offer and switch focus to going after another big fish, like Kelly for example.

Quick little motivational boost for the tired and weary. Sing along if you know the words.

You should put a copyright on that. Norf will record it and play it at their games if they snare Dusty.

Remember the day that song was invented,everyone burst into spontaneous laughter then the song was sung with gusto,everyone pretty much knew the lyrics straight away,to the originator,Bob Dylan couldn't write better.

A classic that will be sadly left to the Groggy vaults if Dusty left.

He was never going anywhere and will not go anywhere.

The brownlow alone forces him to stay at the tigers.

He will make millions in memorabilia if he stays, and FA if he leaves.

Noone other than a tiger fan will by memorabilia of dusty winning a brownlow for richmond.

It's a good point you make but how does he make the money if he remains a tiger versus not? I dunno how any of that works.

would you buy Dusty memorabilia of him winning a brownlow for richmond if he shafted us and went to another side? just before finals ?

No way.

If they are at 1.3 and we are at 1.2 then makes me even more confident he is staying.

Danger informed his manager b4 the season was over that he wanted to go to the Cats , just couldn't announce it till the day free agency started ! So Dusty making a decision at start of finals doesn't necessarily mean he is staying, hopefully it does though

True true... But Im usually priced out anyway haha.

This suggests to me that Dusty will be staying at Richmond.

I'm guessing there would be some criteria that Martin wanted to see from the tigers. That criteria has been met and he is ready to put pen to paper. 5 years at 6.5 million

If he has already made a decision to stay why wait to announce it?

Would think Dusty charges the club for using his name, signature etc...or a percentage.
Probs has an ABN and business name like 'Dont Argue Sports and Entertainment'. That ABN charges RFC....something like that i guess?

Dot i's cross t's.
Ink to paper then announce it.

4 weeks to dot i's? Doubt it.

Most likely that he has informed the club of his decision and has given them time to either match a rival offer or come up with what they want in return for him leaving.

And publicly announce it before the end of the season? Bullshit mate

Makes sense

I've got three pieces of Dusty memorabilia.
The Jack Dyer Medal piece "Raging Bull"
The Dustin Martin "Wings" piece.
Also just another small signed one from earlier in his career.
I will look to be getting another one should he win the Brownlow.
However, I'd suspect they would do a Jack Dyer Medal/Brownlow Medal double piece.

Hoping he plays 350 games and turns out to be a legend of the club.

This will go down as one of the greatest trolls by RFC and Dusty. Other teams have wasted 12 months trying to sign him when he wasnt leaving lol. Meanwhile we will snag someone else.

Maybe. Maybe not. What do we know about multi million dollar contracts you know?

I agree, if he is leaving they won't announce it until after the Tigers' season finishes.
