Dustin Martin Contract Thread [GWS Will Not Offer Dusty a Contract]

[Mr Magic]

JR Can't be traded as he just signed a contract. It's the Chris heffernan rule. End thread

Irrelevant if RFC, GWS and JR want the trade anything is possible.

You guys need to understand is the law is a means to an end, not an end, that is the real world IMO

 

[Frustrated Tiger]

Onya Hutchy, Carr is a goose.

 

[I Rock]

Ok I will try to be serious.

Martin potential Gun and all is a player Richmond's list can already cover. So no. Trade hard, trade well and get the best that the club can and move on.

 

[Scubaveg]

Brisbane in the mix.
Longer and pick 7.

Bahahaha, you are having a lend of yourself. You are dreaming.

 

[Dusty Cotch]

Craig Hutchinson..You legend! summed it up perfectly....Dusty you are a Goose!
Dusty Ralph Carr has one client ..you!..Why!!!

 

[Mr Magic]

I don't think you are giving Magic enough credit. My answer is yes. Whilst you may all think differently, our best 22 is not good enough to come close to a premiership. With Martin gone, our already inadequate list takes a huge hit.

I'd really like us to give Bean, McDonough, Elton, Griffiths, Helbig and Darrou lots of game time next year. If we get pick 2 as Magic said, Aish/Boyd might get a lot out of being gifted 22 games.

Exactly we can survive past Dusty if we get pick 2+.

In fact we may become better and have a better chance to win a premiership. How can we improve on this?

Who should we target with the extra cash??? Adams might be on. Longer?? What about Docherty??

 

[Squibbs]

Onya Hutchy, Carr is a goose.

Please explain!

 

[Stylo]

Bahahaha, you are having a lend of yourself. You are dreaming.

Closer to the mark than Karnezis and a 2nd rounder

If Brisbane want Dusty they'll have to pay up.

Longer and 7 is about right

You can have Longer and Karnezis, no way Longer and pick 7.

Who's Longer?

 

[Tigerdome]

dusty would be a major risk for whatever club is picking him up, especially if he moves interstate. he is playing brilliant football at richmond precisely because he has been setteld for so long in the club and its community (having lived with March and now being babysat by Chocco). think of all the distractions that would be involved with him arriving at a new club...and the likely impact it would have on his football. this would be like fevola to brisbane all over again. if dusty knows what is best for his career, he should stay at richmond where he is set to reap the benefits of his and the club's effort and become the player we know he can be very soon. deviate from this and surely he would not be worth 600k

 

[DustinsGuns]

Great to see Martin being smashed in the media. Richmond is being made to be the good guy, and Martin the bad guy out of this.

We do need a young ruckman. However I think our midfield is a bigger concern. I'd rather us give our first pick for Adams.

 

[bananatigz]

Please explain!

pretty much said dustin and carr are both being tools

 

[Tigerrific]

Talk on SEN was that Melbourne are considering putting up pick 2 for Martin. Even if we got that we would still be going backwards. The player at pick 2 would be unlikely to be better than Martin and is 4 years behind in his development. We need someone who is ready now so we can take advantage of our window of opportunity. This will really harm our premiership aspirations

I can understand him wanting to get the best deal but he has pushed the club too far. It is now a matter of principle.

The grass is not always greener Dusty...

 

[Cotchin 9]

Why do we want to cut our losses with him after investing so much time and effort in to him. Don't want to see him in anything other than a yellow and black KooGa guernsey in 2014.

 

[Cotcho]

Great to see Martin being smashed in the media. Richmond is being made to be the good guy, and Martin the bad guy out of this.

Hmmm I still don't like it. It's playing with fire IMO

 

[TiggerMan22]

reiwoldt for pick 1, kidding himself

Dual Coleman medalist. Only 27 players have been the leading goal kicker 2 or more times in 120 years

 

[UpTheGuts]

Hope he stays

 

[Pounce]

Carro thinks Dustin Martin is not worth the trouble he has caused over the years and now thinks Richmond should cut their losses with him. The other people on the panel think Martin is greedy and were shocked he knocked back the offer from Richmond. Hutchy called Ralph Carr a goose and said he is trying to make lots of money off Martin because Martin is his only client, which we all ready know is the case. Martin's chances of staying at Richmond aren't good if you believe Footy Classified.

 

[Frustrated Tiger]

Please explain!

Hutchy basically saying that Martin is acting like a goose and that the Tigers have blind sided Carr by their move today.
Hutchy saying he has a full time minder and it's a joke.
Lyon said he wouldn't want him at Melbourne, not the right fit.
Lloyd basically said he would be silly to leave for an extra $100k after what Richmond has done for him.

 

[WATiger86]

Just thinking if Dusty does that changes our window,

Should we trade the likes of JR to GWS for pick one if Dusty goes to
melb for pick 2.

Serious discussion required about serious strategies for RFC to build our next premiership team!

 

[_RT_]

You can have Longer and Karnezis, no way Longer and pick 7.

If you're talking on behalf of the Lions list management committee then Brisbane are out of the running. Pick 7 would be the starting point not Longer and Karnezis

 

[DustinsGuns]

Let's be honest. He doesn't come across like a smart guy. From my experience he seems exactly the kind of guy who would be hating this right now. He won't be able to deal with all of this negative press.

Imagine what his teammates and coaches think of him. Would be a very unpopular guy at the footy club right now.

 

[Mr Magic]

We do need a young ruckman. However I think our midfield is a bigger concern. I'd rather us give our first pick for Adams.

The point is if Martin goes it frees up cash, it means our window is realistically further out and we need to draft and trade for that which we can do. Nothing wrong with that but it requires patience. It does mean our younger players Cotch and below to V are very important to our premiership prospects and must be looked after, complimented and supported. They are our most important players!! If Dimma needs an extension for further development so be it!
