Waldron just announced on SEN that St Kilda are having a big go at Dusty.

Could think of worse things than to land Dusty and still have two top 10 picks up our sleeve, so why not!
Probably the most unreliable journo going around, I'd take that with a massive grain of salt.

Waldron is pretty accurate on St Kilda (but only St Kilda) related items. It's not particularly big news if St Kilda is approaching Dusty's manager though - IMO just about every club should be doing so.

Why would you keep both first round picks? He's a restricted free agent and Richmond have already stated they will most likely match any offer. You're gonna have to pony up at least 1 of the picks. Still be worth it though

Its common knowledge that the offer will be big enough that richmond wont match being saints or roos

Exactly what Adelaide did with Dangerfield. They had no intent on signing him. It was almost as though it was for goodwill. It would be prearranged with all parties. Dusty has already committed to the saints, Richmond match to force a trade and dusty would know that. If the saints backed out it wouldn't look great for them

No chance of that happening, situations are completely different.

I honestly couldn't care enough to dig it up. :) I just remember noting his correlation with St Kilda last year or the year before because him being right was so novel.
Well given the fact that Waldron was CEO of the club previously I'd be pretty surprised if he didn't get some good St Kilda mail!

Is this really a surprise to anyone though? We already had a butt-load of cap space free and now Riewoldt retiring and possibly Joey as well will free up as much as a mil more.

We're probably at the stage where we just about have to throw a big wad of cash at someone, just to help us reach the minimum TPP- and I think we might have to pay 105% of the cap for the next 3 years, because we paid 95% for 3 straight.

If you offered 1.2 or thereabouts you wouldn't be keeping those 2 picks as we would match the offer.

If it's 1.5 or more we won't match.

He doesn't come without risks.

Won't Martin stay at Richmond if Richmond match the deal with $$ and years?

The only way that I see him leaving at this stage, is if the deal is to good to refuse and to big for Richmond to match.

Unless he throws an absolute curve ball and wants to move out of Victoria.

I can't see Dusty going to another Melbourne team unless it is for $$$ In my view which could be wrong, if Richmond would match he would stay there. THerefore, if he is going I could see a L. Franklin scenario where all Richmond get is the priority pick.
