Recommitted Dustin Martin [re-signed]

[ReaperX]

Hawk arrogance is delicious, they expect every single player is coming to them and it's highly amusing.

Quick tip - Although I normally don't like to do it, I've noticed this thread has improved dramatically with the use of the Ignore button!

Remember, if you don't feed the trolls, they'll get bored!

So do we think Dusty is signing a 4 year deal with Richmond, or will it be 5 years? The rumour going around is we've offered 4, but I'd prefer if we signed him for 5 honestly.

Where did I say I think he's coming to Hawthorn? You're projecting your insecurities.

Yo only have to wonder over to the hawthorn board to see they think it's a lock. Regardless I'm done here

 

[HumanMeatball]

Younger and similar Brownlow finishes at same age

I'm not sure what the relevance of what other people are saying elsewhere has to do with what I've said here.

Friendly tip for your lot from someone who had to deal with the same thing in 2013. What will happen will happen. Arguing about what the player or your club will do won't have any influence on what they do. It's going to be a very long and tiring year if you're going to take personal offence to and feel compelled to rebut everything opposition supporters say in here. If you're so convinced Martin will re-sign you might as well be on your way.

Your responses have always been optional but ultimately unnecessary.

Either way, you'll be satisfied with a single top 5 pick as compensation. As you've said already.

But Richmond supporters hoping for more will be disappointed.

If you want him, you better get your credit card out mate, we're charging a premium price!

Until reality dawns and you accept unders.

Richmond will name their price like Adelaide did with Dangerfield.

Richmond will name their price like Adelaide did with Dangerfield.

You keep mentioning Dusty and Dangerfield - they are nothing alike apart from the fact they are both AFL footballers.

The closest scenario would be Dusty and Buddy.

But that said ... Dusty would not be playing AFL football if it were not for the Tigers, Dusty knows that ... Tigers know that.

There is a very strong bond between both parties, its going to take more than money to break that bond.

You make it sound like he was some homeless street kid they found kicking a football in an alleyway. He was a number 3 draft pick ffs

And both were eligible to exercise free agency. That's the point here.

The closest scenario would be Dusty and Buddy.

OK. If you say so.

I don't think that example makes the case any more persuasively that Richmond will simply name their price by forcing a trade. That's certainly not what happened when Franklin left Hawthorn.

The Dangerfield example at least takes account of what might happen if a club is prepared to match a RFA bid and can then negotiate something more than the AFL-assigned compensation. That's why the Dangerfield example is instructive.

Maybe that's too much nuance for you.

Like the promise of on-field success?

Well thats is interesting comparison "homeless street kid" ( not one I would use) ... Dusty has had his "challenges" Tigers have done an awesome job.

Maybe that's too much nuance for you.

hahaha ... maybe you dont know the kid. Maybe you have never met him. As a regular attendee at many Tigers functions I might have the upper hand ...

the promise of on-field success?

hahaha ... nah keep trying. Think more Choco & Dimma then you are getting closer.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

I have never met Dustin Martin. How does that repudiate any of my statements, which are mostly about possible compensation should Martin ask to leave?

It sounds like the crux of your argument is: "I go to functions so I know better."

Should everyone overlook the fact that your statements are internally incoherent because you go to functions?

hahaha ... nah keep trying. Think more Choco & Dimma then you are getting closer.

I think you miss my point.

Money may not be the only factor should Martin choose to leave. He may also see more potential for on-field success elsewhere.

 

[Dr Whoooooooo]

Richmond ..... forcing a trade.

Wont happen you can bank on that. Richmond supporters that are saying that .... they are dreaming more blind faith than reality.

Which of my statements is this meant to be a response to?

 

[Dr Whoooooooo]

I have never met Dustin Martin.

I know you have never met him ... thats obvious. You are arguing for the sake of arguing.

My hope and expectation is he will stay a Tiger - as he should. Credit where credit is due the Tigers have done an outstanding job to this date in his career.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

I know you have never met him ... thats obvious.

It's also irrelevant.

My statements are about what Richmond might be able to extract in return should Martin leave. Having met Martin or not would not have any bearing on this one way or the other.

You struggle to connect dots in a rational way, don't you? You're like one of those chimps in cognition tests who keeps trying to force the square peg into the round hole.

You are arguing for the sake of arguing.

As opposed to what? Are you arguing for some higher purpose? Are you hoping to receive a prize?

My hope and expectation is he will stay a Tiger - as he should. Credit where credit is due the Tigers have done an outstanding job to this date in his career.

Did you engage in this discussion only to tell everyone you've met Dustin Martin?

Or did you have a point besides that?

Welcome to the Hawks Dusty, you will enjoy playing for the Premiership factory.

Have a good year and don't get injured and present yourself in tip top condition for the 2018 pre-season.

Am I doing it right?

According to Brett Anderson, Collingwood are trying to lure Dustin Martin to the club at the end of the year
