Loving the same old argument from Richmond supports everywhere, "why would Martin want to play in front of 7,000 people bla bla"... bloody hilarious
I assume Marley has told him how pleasant it is playing for a club where you no longer have feral supporters watching your house and bothering you every time you step outside.

Bad luck missing out on Dustin. Was always a long shot.

No hard feelings as free agency often throws up these hail mary scenarios.

On to more important matters. That full forward of yours, Ben Brown?

We are prepared to offer one of our small forwards - minus Rioli - and throw in a 2 rounder for the lads services.
Go on.

Well, you don't have any proof whatsoever to the contrary.

When you take your mothers knickers off your head and put down the tube of Tarzans Grip, you may want to ask yourself this: Why would Carr make this statement today, a day after the hype crashed down from the monday night football shows, but still not in any way commit? No even hint at an outcome? He didn't even actually commit to a date, he merely hinted at what he would "dare say"

.........and please......whilst you are blessing us with your presence, please take some time and give your opinion about this comment:

Carr was in Hobart on Saturday and watched a rebuilding North Melbourne, at their surrogate home ground, topple Melbourne. The Roos are after not only a midfield gun but someone who can be a major marketing weapon. All Carr would say about the trip was: "I was just having a look around – watching a good game of footy."

What do you make of that?
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a cogent answer from Moshie or whatever his name is, if I were you Snake.

Classic stalling technique.

Cotchin and ricmond are in desperation mode. He's probably using his daughter to try and get dusty to re-sign. "Uncle usty dadda wants me to get you to sign this. Pwetty pwetty pwalease!!!!!"
I imagine that is exactly what went down.

The tigers inner scrotum guy

Like i said a month ago, he will sign before finals ( even though all the media were pushing the end of season barrow). From those I trust, told me the time line but not the reason in full. Putting the strings together I believe we have assisted carr in building his player stable as the free press he has got from this has been priceless, got to understand Bolton joined Carr this year as well.

Dusty is loyal, loves the club but also Carr so in my opinion only, was more then happy to allow Carr to benefit and the club was OK with it as we know 100% Dusty wont go anywhere. Hence the before finals re signing will further boost the club at the perfect time leading into finals as a way to create a win/win. I was told most of this in April, and everything I have heard has been proven right.

I have zero doubt Dusty will be signing as a tiger for the next 6 years on a fair price, just with a discount compared to what he would deserve elsewhere.

Gee Tiger71 posts in an uncannily similar manner to some of the *donialists when they were at the "peak of their powers" explaining to anyone gullible enough to listen and believe out there at *peptide park, that there was "nothing in the drug allegations to worry about".

That went well for *them didn't it. No doubt many desperadoes at the tigers will hang on every word of Tiger71's posts though and believe them to be the "Gospel".

Oh, I did not realise we are allowed to quote posts from other boards ? It's cool though. Again, I am happy to say, sorry for you guys missing out but keep living the dream till he re signs as mentioned before finals :)
Just to put your money where your mouth is, sunshine, why don't you change the photo to one of Dusty?

Have you got a good track record?
So you are saying this was merely a PR stunt?
What if you guys finish 7th and have an away elim final?

They are saying all the Richmond staff are cool customers and have known all year he was never leaving.
I just don't get the point and how it benefits Richmond?
All because Dusty loves Ralph Carr and wants him to get a bonus?

I keep yarran as my way of silently protesting giving pick 6 for Prestia. I wanted to do the trade and understand why we did it but personally felt we overpaid. I will remove yarran, my reminder of some shocking blunders my club can do re trading once prestia starts delivering pick 6 worth of skill level.

As to the rest of the mockery thrown my way from posters here, go for it, water of a ducks back. Again, i posted my honest thoughts on the richmond board and it was quoted here, which i thought was against board rules ? I only came here as it tagged me, simply, i could not care if you believe or do not believe what I post.

Have a good one :)

I'd really like to hear from Phillyroo about now.
I reprogrammed my 'tickle me elmo' to say 'ha ha ha it's happening' in phillys voice. That way when i wake up after a dusty nightmare i just squeeze it and think "phew, it's still happening"

I suggest you do the same.

He can't really say he was there to meet North officials to tell them their offer is too low is he?
Both Cam Joyce and Brad like to sneak up on the Tigers....Brad did it in 2015 Rd 23/Elim final...and Cam and his team been working on Dusty for a while with a little cheeky help from Marley.

Has always been and will always go a little like this:

Aren't you the same poster who said Dusty deal would be done after the new TPP?

I tried to do it with my son's Roman Reigns tough talker but it just told me it was going to crush me and now I can't get to sleep. :(
