Huh ? Yeah and that's why he left , because he couldn't get through to them anymore, what's your point , you're talking about winning flags when you wanna trade out our only decent fwd , and our most barest line too, you're cooked lol

nah, he left for a better list, he wanted younger more bountiful toys.

He couldn't get through because the cattle was not there anymore

He also takes another list spot
Not sure how they look overall but if they have eyes on 3 accadamy kids already I’m not sure how many extra list spots they will have
Suns have a 4th academy player this year Just not as highly rated. A lot is going right for the suns. Just not finals for the AFL team. I can't see them wanting any player from our list.

Martin's prohibitively expensive contract rules him out I think.

Every team changes by 4 to 5 players each year. For us hopefully INs are Lynch, Gibcus (virtually injured all year) Dow, Bauer/Cumbo cement their places and we see a lot of the class of 21.

I have no idea Suns depth players. Their VFL team is good. Losing to North; never good.

You're literally all over the place mate. Yes he left because we aren't as good anymore and he believed we needed a new voice which is true. That happens in life , yet you're here suggesting we trade away our only decent fwd lol

To think people were even questioning his ability after what he went through in 2021/22 has to make you laugh. Deserves to be AA, outstanding year.
If he is not part of the starting 18 of the AA team, it proves that it is as corrupt as just about everything else to do with the AFL.

Those clowns who select the AA team are always banging on about the stats: Dusty's stats this year as a forward/midfield are off the charts.

Put it this way....if any AFL coach got to put together his best 18 to win the flag in this finals series, not one of them would leave Dusty out.
 
Can't see how the Suns actually need him beyond marketing.

Their forward line is full of developing talent that need game time, their cap will be badly stretched to keep that talent.

The only way I see him head to GC is if the AFL financially make it happen with a very sizeable contribution. Which would be outrageous, but of course, that hasn't stopped them in the past.
Agree, Suns would be better off with an on field coach in Prestia
 
What a blessing it has been to be warmed by the glow of his aura
Will be 90k at the G when he retires and does his lap of honour.

Still has plenty of footy left.
 
always felt Dusty would never leave.
Listening to Caro on classified, she actually doesn't get much wrong.
saying dusty unsure if he would stay next year, mates all left, doesn't know who's coaching him.
Sydney the main one think they could get him..
I would be so pissed if he left, all those kids growing up loving him, us supporters. just wouldn't sit well with me.

he is still under contract and on huge wages. only way I see him going is if the
AFL subsidise his wage and we get very good players/draft picks in return. AFL will subsidise his wage if he went to an expansion club. I'd hate to see him leave but if he wants to go the AFL will make it happen just for the marketing dollars.
 
I like what Balme said he should just finish his career at Richmond at this point.

I would be surprised if he didn't play 300 games for Richmond. he would want his name in history up with Riewoldt, Cotchin & Edwards.

Even if he wanted to leave given he is contracted & the $$ he is on makes it extremely difficult & given we woud not want to lose him.
That being said he is an unrestricted free agent next season so can just leave for nothing at the end of the year.
