connection doesn't look flash in hindsight.

He toured multiple clubs.

And every one of those clubs turned their back on him.

The rest is history.

I thought he had a couple of offers and chose to stay.

nope - from memory clubs turned their back on him after having him come round and view the place.

Dusty a Giant? It nearly happened in 2013

Things would have been different for the Tigers if Dustin Martin had walked through this sliding door

[ULTIMATE_WARRIOR]

Was great mates with a bunch of Saints players. Close with Sam Fisher. Watters knocked it back.

Yep, definitely close with Sam Fisher & Dave Armitage at the time.

I have mutual friends with Armo and we all caught up in Bali and he told me Watters put a ban on them and Dusty going to Vegas together that off season. As well as anything else to do with him. They hated Watters.

Despite that they all hanged out with Dusty in Bali regardless.

 

[beside the seaside]

I reckon he’ll stay

Would be a really good story for the club. Fingers crossed.

Gee whizz it'd be nice to find out sooner rather than later. Just realised we still have three more months of this shit to deal with.

You will probably get a good idea by roughly the BnF .

Why would wce give up barrass?

 

[botts]

Why would wce give up barrass?

For there first rounder

 

[Saint Shags]

Why would wce give up barrass?

Are there reports that WCE aren't coming to the table with altering payments for his contract? And so he is a bit unimpressed?

 

[stavro#4]

Are there reports that WCE aren't coming to the table with altering payments for his contract? And so he is a bit unimpressed?

Yes and that his age and value make him a prime candidate for picks to rebuild

 

[StCicatriz]

For there first rounder

i think it'll take more than that

When did no-one want Dustin Martin? He was number three in his draft.

From memory he was shopping himself around several years ago and we were the last club to officially say no thanks. Maybe 2-3 years before their first flag?

Martin set to stay with Richmond in AFL

Richmond's young gun Dustin Martin is struggling to attract the interest of rival AFL clubs.

We were also the last club out when he was a free agent in 2017.

St Kilda will not pursue Richmond midfielder Dustin Martin at the trade period.

I think it was something to do with bailing up a woman with chop sticks.

 

[Brains Trust66]

It was interesting from Ross in the presser that he spent a bit of time on Steeley. Was quite apologetic about the situation he'd been put in having to shoulder the midfield burden. He's looked much better the past month. Probably feeling better himself and also some better form from multiple other players in his part of the ground.

On reflection that early fixture of interstate, interstate, home 5 day break, interstate took a toll and killed our season. Fair enough having a harder fixture after making finals but the AFL f*ckd us royally this year.

What annoys me is that lots of sides that continually make the eight seem to get better draws than we do . We made the eight for the first time in a while and straight away get a hard draw , it sucks . It like the AFL don’t want sides like the Saints to be successful because we don’t get the crowd that Collingwood Carlton , Essendon, Richmond , Adelaide do .

Big drawing clubs get their fixtures sorted first and the bottom sides and smaller clubs are stuck into the gaps.

The fixture is as easy or as hard as you let it be. Good clubs win games of football, regardless of opposition, that's the difference.

We lost winnable games early in the season and are now on the outer. That’s the difference

 

[SteeleSaints]

The fixture is solely based around the AFL getting the maximum numbers to games, hence bang for buck. Clubs with larger membership always get preference, how long has it been since a Collingwood etc played down at Geelong. I believe last year our club received nearly 18 million in handouts from the AFL. Why clubs like us rely on the variable funding model to survive, we have no leg to stand on as far as the draw is concerned.

Until we become a sucessful side onfield the off field status quo will remain. We are caught in a vortex and play in an inequitable environment, but its up the Football Dept to turn things around.

Are Collingwood a good club?

 

[Significant]

Are Collingwood a good club?

Not this year no, and I'd suggest unless they trade shrewdly, there is a bit of a cliff coming. Lot of over 30s.
