Play Nice Dustin Martin to North | 31/8: DM signed at RFC for 1.3m/7yrs

[Passmore]

Recent past history says we're unlikely to get any of them, but, for argument's sake, I doubt we'd get both Kelly and Shiel, or be willing to spend what's necessary to get them both. With Martin a FA though, he plus Kelly (preferred) would be great.

It could be sold on the basis that each is told the other is coming, making it more attractive. Like Aylett and co. did in the 10 year rule window, when they told Barassi they were getting Wade, Rantall, David and told all three they were getting Barassi. The promise of each became self-fulfilling. None had confirmed, but it was cheekily played.

Get Aylett, Mantello and Joseph on the case.

Where do we get the other 2 x first rounders for Fyfe from?

I would rather;

Dusty - FA (sweet FA draft picks)
Kelly & Sheil - 2018 first rounder (1-5), 2019 first rounder, Cunners (as much as I love him but we have to give something decent up..)

Midfield of: Dusty, Sheil, Kelly, JZ, Higgins, Dumont, Ahern, Simpkin, Atley, Jacobs, Mountford and a F/S or two..

Fyfe is a FA too.

Love the optimism.

Didn't know that, cheers fellas.

I reckon we'll get one decent FA or trade simply because we've got the cabbage to out price the other clubs.

At least wait until the round 2 team is in before throwing the toys out of the cot about selection. Better still, wait 6 weeks and see if he's mending his ways. Jeebus, VFL doesn't even start until round 3. I'll jump on with y'all then if he parks them all in the VFL.

I find Scott's team selection to be confusing and inconsistent.

He says we are playing the kids this year, so he brings in Jy for his first game. I give this a tick.

But he then drops Wags and Clarke, who were first year players last year. I find this strange.

Why ? Because surely if you make your debut in 2016, your goal as a player would be to start the year in the seniors in 2017.

Meanwhile, Gibbo and Swallow (note : I do not doubt their endeavour and work rate) continue to get games before them....

Baffling !

IMHO Durdin's performance in the JLT series was very very good.

So what does Brad do ? He goes with an underdone Thompson and Hansen (who was useless).

He also debuts Hibberd, Mountford & Preuss while Marley Williams and Nathan Hrovat also played their first games for the club.

You can't really say he is setting a bad precedent for team selection at this stage of the year.

Get him. Seriously

 

[Zondor]

It's a done deal I tells yah. Money is too good to refuse and Richmond can't match the offer. :stern look

That no name overnight fill-in SEN host Gus has said tonight we're no chance, and he added "why would Dusty want to go there? Lulz"

Amazing that this twat doesn't have a drive-time gig, seriously.

Is he one of those 'hur hur North have no cash' types?

Yep. Flog!

 

[ozzyoslo]

Target a key defender like Lever and we're away.

Flag 2019.

MAYbe youre on to something there !

 

[ozzyoslo]

I didn't realise he was a free agent, thought he was younger than he is.

That means Scully is as well..........he isnt going to get the coin he was on b4 @skoda central.

 

[gokangas]

Our Dusty played well again last night.

Do we get a discount if he is damaged?

What doesn't kill him makes him stronger.

 

[Jimmy's Hot Dogs]

I think our Dustin will get a week for the head clash. Ran past the contest to collect Aish.



But the Tigers Dusty will be playing next week

Dont you love it when football reporters ...... make comment through print / mouth / whatever, then show their true colors via social media.

Mark Stevens is the worst for that

Did Brad re-ignite this one as a possibility with his final (?) comment, referring to Martin and Kelly?

As I've said, I'd like to think the 'double or nothing' approach may work here, though I think most have been assuming he'll either stay at Richmond or they'll match a bid.

Meaning we would have to trade for him if they did match. Not sure how we can trade for both Martin and Kelly.

If Richmond match our offer Martin would stay. In fact I suspect a ball park offer would be enough. We'd need to blow them out of the water.

I just thought it would be appropriate to bump this thread up.
