Yeah, they had to take the Amazonian tribesmen out of the set up.

Too many spear injuries.

Wow, this whole situation is quite intriguing. What's your opinion though fellow supporters, is North being silly offering him so much?? Will we be right to make sure we secure the likes of Browny etc. for our future?

Like $1.5mill. Jeez. That's a lot. Do you think he actually likes the idea of coming to North as a club???

I still don't see him leaving though.
The tears would be worth it.

LOL I forgot the Brownlow memorabilia argument, which is so incredibly strange and stupid that it doesn't even bear repeating or explaining.
You also forgot the opin6iin pieces suggesting we should relocate and that our coach is likely to walk out on his contract. These just conveniently thrown in to suggest our future is unstable.

Our offer is too good to refuse.

Confident he comes over, if he doesn't sign in the next week reckon we can lock him in
Caro reporting the same thing

"The Richmond offer is also now a seven-year deal but worth $1.1 million per season. Should Martin not commit to the Tigers this week upon returning to Melbourne then North believe he is theirs."

That grab makes it seem like Caro had spoken to someone from our club.

Which would be total bullshit.

First off, I don't think we'll have a problem locking up our own to long terms deals if we bring Martin in. His contract would be heavily front loaded for the first year or two, giving us room to move after that. You also have to factor in players on decent coin likely to leave in the next couple of years (Waite, Swallow, possibly Goldy, Thomas, Thompson potentially). Bottom line, we should have no issues with that

The offer is a touch overpriced for mine, but to get a out and out superstar like Martin to leave, that's what it's going to take. Does he want to come? Thats the three million dollar question. Our offer is that far apart from Richmond's that it could go either way at this point, whereas say a month or so ago, it was a near certainty he'd recommit to Richmond given our offer wasn't that much different to theirs

I also see him staying as well, but we're far from out of this

Very early in this thread, I posted that we were 90% certain. Earlier today, NN posted we were 99.9% certain he was coming. Looks an absolutely certainty now.

Yeah what are the chances Carr leaked the flight times?
100%.

Good enough for me.

Twinkletoes start warming up the hamstrings. It's almost time...

I paid a visit to the draft and trading board...now my head hurts.

Some of the craziness written, bizzaro. I love opposition supporters saying that it will ruin out pay structures for years, and cripple us.

Kudos to the club for having a crack at him. Proud of us trying for something different. If it works, awesome. If it doesn't, so be it.

While I don't see retaining old mate until 2020 as striving for the best, this reeks of ambition.

Channel 7 following Martin to NZ is a joke. His manager is doing a great charade of making it look like the decision is 50:50 to try to squeeze Richmond for more. I honestly can't see Martin leaving Richmond - the lack of an announcement shouldn't be over interpreted. He just does things differently.
Almost stage-biz managed isn't it.
Ralph turning it into a show and the media can't lap it up quickly enough.
Gil's stripping of media accreditation can start right here with Ch7.
