I'm getting nervous: has Martin signed yet?

[Numpty Tiger]

Any news on this? It's been a month or so since Caro and others were reporting we were supremely confident that he was staying. Bock has spooked me a little with his confidence that Gold Coast would have a good team next year...

 

[Rustof]

Did you see his post game interview against the crows?

He's not going anywhere.

 

[Spluff]

He can't go to GC, he's contracted until the end of 2012.

 

[astro_toby]

will be free to go to GWS though

The money that they will be allowed to throw at him, there is no way we can compete with that. With the news that GC are paying $600,00 per season on the AFL OFFICIAL WEBSITE, for Bock... thats floored me a bit

Martin will get offers over $1 million from GWS..... is it at all possible for us to make the kid THAT loyal to us in just a 24 month period??

Talk about the AFL being counter productive. We have been on the floor for nearly 30 years and we are finally getting the draft picks to get us out of this slum.... and they seem to have made the perfect enviroment to possibly keep us there for another 20 years.....

If we lose Martin to a GWS side that no one cares about or supports, would just about give the game up Where is the justice in that???

the rumours are we are close to securing him and jack, CC sounded pretty confident things were in hand tonight on 3aw

hope CC is right. Us supporters have had to accept a lot of reasons to why we have continually failed for so many years - if the latest reason was caused by the AFL and their concessions.....

 

[NL_Tiger]

pretty sure i read somewhere that dustin and jack are both close to signing.

he was speaking broadly about where we were at...sounded pretty assured to me

I also read a short article on Sunday that both Jack and Martin are close to signing. I think it was in the Herald Sun.

no, foxtel only showed it once and it takes me over an hour to get home

i just wanted to hear him drop the f-bomb

yes thats the one.
i couldn't remember where i had seen it.
herald sun said deals could be done as early as next week.

Now with Cousins gone - it should free up some more salary cap space for us. Hopefully we hear some news soon.

cousins would have been getting paid SFA. Doubt that would make any difference to what we can offer Jack or Dustin.

Our cap space at the moment is fine - its is long term we can afford to pay Martin or JAck what GWS may offer - and still have enough room in our cap to grow the team the way we need to.

now is not the issue - 3 years down the track is

 

[Toadvine]

I thought the rumor was that they are already signed and the club was just waiting for the opportune time (after the Cuz doco fanfare dies down) to announce it.

 

[TheCuzEffect]

Sunday hun Richmond where close to singing and would announce riewoldt and Martin re-sign within the week.

 

[Reckoner Tiger]

silly, silly people
there has been no signs, aside from a some small media speculation during our 'fitzroy' start to the year that he's even considering moving, or that he'd be heavily targeted.
close thread!

Not only that he has another year to run on his contract.

Chicken little

Blody Hell - where have you been numpty - haven't seen you on here for ages.

Actually I was wondering how much we were paying Cousins. I thought the club increased his salary after his first year.

 

[Madison]

I think Cuz was on 3-400K from memory after being paid pittance last year.

One of the sane ones.

Similar to McMahon , I think one of them was over paid ?

I forgot McMahon was still part of out list. Next he'll have a press conf announcing his retirement!
