Why waste 20 large? Even Dusty playing we'd still not get within 5.
Why? To enjoy watching him play???

Man this is the most excited I have felt about footy since Round 1....the "Prince of Punt Road has Returned".
Kudos to the club, for their professionalism and empathy and allowing Dusty the time and space to grieve the loss of his father and best mate.

Martin had spent time in Sydney since taking his indefinite break after the club's round one loss to Carlton, but rumours that his return was imminent grew when he was spotted at a Port Melbourne gym on Thursday.
The Tigers have repeatedly denied speculation that their superstar could walk away from the game as he struggles to process the unexpected death of his father Shane, who passed away in New Zealand last December.
Coach Damien Hardwick encouraged Martin to return only when he was ready.
'We won't close the door, but we just want to make sure that Dustin's OK ... we are a football club and it's important to win games but the health and wellbeing of our players is our No.1 priority,' he said.
'He is so important to the fabric of our footy club.'
On Friday, Riewoldt revealed he had sent several text messages to Martin but received no response.
The midfielder has been spotted a few times during his extended break, once at his mate Mick Hargraves' wedding at the Port Melbourne Yacht Club on March 26, and once in the Sydney beachside suburb of Cronulla on April 4.
His return to the field can't come quickly enough for Richmond, who sit 12th on the ladder ahead of their clash with the Demons after winning just two of their first five games.

- Dustin Martin has returned to Richmond and taken part in training with the team in what Tigers fans are hoping signals an end to speculation that he could retire after taking indefinite leave to grieve for his father.
The three-time Norm Smith Medal winner rejoined the club on Saturday morning for a light training session before the Tigers' game against Melbourne on Sunday night.
He did parts of the training program but not all of it, reported AFL.com.au, and there is no news from Punt Road about when he will return to the field.
