Seriously guys, close your eyes for a min. Think of our boys, arm-in-arm, singing our magnificent song. There's Judd. And I see Murphy. Oh....and we have Jamison and Tuohy, and there's Henderson and Simpson. Oh, and plonked right in the middle there is.....Martin????........:confused::eek:o_O

His skills/talent as a footballer are undisputed, but will not happen. Ever.

Want to win, but not at all costs.

I doubt any Carlton supporter would be be welcome on the AFL board if we managed to snag both Martin and Daisy.

For the record I have serious doubts over both of them.

Very excited by this trade week.

I think we will be very active in bringing in some nice senior players for now without selling our soul (early picks).

Hopefully we can get a few more mid range picks for a few of our senior guys that are likely on the way out.

Really hope our recruiting has scoured the sub-professional land for a diamond or two (see barlow, pods, mzungu etc)

Reminds me of when Rooney tried to leave Man U and a bunch of ferals were outside his gate with torches threatening to burn his home down unless he resigned.

Titus O'Reily ‏@TitusOReily 8m Dustin Martin says he has been upset by the comments on social media after someone slowly read them to him.

Titus O'Reily's tweets are quite humorous :D

Dustin Martin keen to go somewhere that offers him a stable environment. Essendon and St Kilda firming.
Dustin Martin says he must secure a lucrative deal now to prepare himself for a career after footy in crime and ultimately prison.
The worst bit about Dustin Martin leaving is all those matching neck tattoos Tiger fans got. Especially the kids.
Geelong sounded out Dustin Martin but he said he 'didn't want to leave Victoria.'
The breakdown between Richmond and Dustin occurred when the Tigers said 'all there is to do now is for you to read the contract.'

I love the idea of tuohy moving into the midfield for spells. He is hard as a cats head, great in traffic and can kick accurately over 60m. Imagine him on the end of a chain of handballs coming out of the middle. Can tackle and obviously defend too.

Yup, but would like to see him work on developing a bit more speed with ball in hand / disposal when in the thick of it. Love this dude, and think he has still great potential.

Yep, agreed.

I would give him the odd midfield run with role to learn the running patterns required.

"How could I look any Richmond fan in the eye if they knew I’d just signed a new contract with Richmond without testing the market? They would have been furious at the lack of business acumen."


Loves it except for this bit


Anyway, I have to run as Mick Malthouse has rung me eighteen times just as I’ve been writing this.

Would be AWESOME for the laughs (knocked you out of the finals, stole your second best mid, go %^%& yourself Premiershipmond :D) but don't want the off-field "issues" !!!!!!!

I don't understand all the people on this board who don't want Martin because of the 'baggage' he brings. What baggage? What has he actually done wrong? Stop being so precious the guy is a star, he will help us and make us better, to be perfectly honest I don't care who he associates with, I don't even care what he does away from the club, so long as when he is at the club he is working his ass off and will bleed blue on game day. That's all I care about!

The only incident I can think of was him getting to training late resulting in Connors being sacked. If that's the worst thing people can pin on him big shit! #makedustyblue

You have to see their is a risk he is just not capable of bleeding for anyone but himself. Richmond have done a lot for him and are taking him places yet he is willing to just walk out on them. His character needs to be considered.

I guess you're also wanting the club to bring back Fevola?

The days of what a player does on-field being the only relevant thing are well and truly gone.

What he does off it is just as if not even more important.

No thanks. Not at the price he's after anyway.

I think one of the issues is he doesn't actually work his ass off on the track..
