Dusty....What's our Plan B?

[shaky]

Ahhh that's a very good point. So is potentially a way for him to extract more cash from your club. Would be a bizarre way to do it, but it is viable. Would make list management difficult.

And if that's the way it plays out it will all be driven by that prick Carr.

 

[Whiskasonyatoga]

So what should our maximum offer be/ what should we be willing to match?

If we disregard last nights game, is $1.15m x 6 our tipping point?

I heard that we originally had $900k x 5 on the table but that was before the new CBA.

 

[theyellowsash]

If he goes to norf or anywhere we need to force a trade, get a key possie/ruck (eg Goldstein) plus a first rounder and early second

And then try and nab another quality player through a trade or free agency....and pray

If we lose dusty we will be bottom 4 again next year. We need to rebuild instead of trading our picks for 'quality' players like prestia

So if we lose Dusty for say Patton and Hopper we become a bottom 4 side?

 

[SportsCentre]

I would hope Richmond know in sufficient time, even if that means that none of us are privvy to it.

 

[BF Tiger]

1.25x6 we match.

 

[Philth]

Trade him to GWS for Patton and Hopper.
FA Rockcliff

People are on sighted, done right we could improve our list ten fold.

No way. No ****ing way.
We have a once in a generation player in Martin. Match any offer.
Which they will either do, or he'll accept a lower offer.
I'm very confident Dusty will be in the yellow and black next year.
Not a gambler at all but I'd bet on this.

I think he means if we lost him for a compo pick.

I wouldnt ruin tpp period. Dont care about the new cap Dusty isnt worth a penny over 1.2mil and even 1.2mil is too much for a mid.

How many flags have been won by clubs paying 1mil plus for midfielders?

Yeah agree that there has to be a limit.
But Martin is much more than just a mid.

 

[living_in_syd]

Really will stuff up our strategy if he leaves via FA, cos then if we bring anyone via FA ourselves we will actually get nothing..

 

[Spagman]

If Dusty did leave id hope we would be right into Tom Lynch next year

Which one?

 

[wegetpumped]

The way i see it is let it play out and if he gets big offers elsewhere and we can afford it match the highest if not its up to him to decide either way if it's love and loyalty or money.

 

[YnBlack]

I would think the club already has "an indication" on if he stays or goes. Why put so much effort into plan B if not needed? I would think quite a number of contract signatures is resting on the Martin deal which is concerning from the outside. If we suddenly start seeing some resigning in coming weeks then I reckon that is the result of the Martin deal, it will just take time to work through certain particulars.

Int this fast paced world time is of the essence while one stays still the other moves twice as hard to reach its goal.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

The hanging out till the end of the season isn't a great look for Dustin Martin , much like visiting other clubs last contract.
He is worth double what Prestia is on , but isn't worth 1 mill.

 

[Nicksimo]

He's waiting to see how things pan out. If we make or win finals, what happens to Dimma.

 

[Mr Magic]

If he goes to norf or anywhere we need to force a trade, get a key possie/ruck (eg Goldstein) plus a first rounder and early second

And then try and nab another quality player through a trade or free agency....and pray

Goldstein has no currency for us

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

Goldstein has no currency for us

Could be a bit old I guess but maric, Hampson will be gone by end of this year, we need an experienced ruck or 2

 

[JR#8]

5 x 1.5 Million is North Melbourne's offer. That's what I heard today. Not saying it's credible but these are the numbers being floated around.

 

[TigerImposter]

With Hodge retiring Hawks could come into play.

 

[Mr Magic]

Well if Dusty goes to Hawks we would want Burton, first rounder and throw in Mitchell for a sweetener.

I suppose we could ask for Burton and their 2018 first rounder but they already gave away their 2017 first rounder so they can't give that away as well.

Gunston, Burton, and their 2018 first might do it

 

[smasha]

Hawks will put their beaks in fo sure.

 

[Mr Magic]

Trade him to GWS for Patton and Hopper.
FA Rockcliff

People are on sighted, done right we could improve our list ten fold.

GWS lack a superstar and the time is now for them.

Trade them Dusty for Patton and Kelly.

We could trade Prestia to Melbourne, get Shiel, Prestia to Melbourne Tyson to RFC

I thought they would give us back TV after KAC turns him into an A grader of Careyesque proportion.
