First halves he's been near best on for a few weeks now but fades away after 1/2 time. Probably unfit/underdone but we can't manage him properly because we cop 47 other injuries each week.

His interrupted end of preseason has not gone well for him as he fades terribly. Chesser ran away from him like he was a pensioner it was pretty bad to see.
Also want him to take more responsibility when he can have a ping. He tends to try to pass it off and it invariably fails.

Caro mentioned on Footy classified that Gale wants to re-sign Martin and make him a one club player as a parting gift. Made is sound like he'd either reitire or stay on at richmond and that gold coast don't have interest in martin anymore

If Gale wants to leave a parting gift then he needs to sack Meehan and get Innes back

Gale has one foot out the door at Richmond with Tasmania coming into the competition.
I got no issue of re-signing Dusty even for 2 years. Pendlebury held out for 2 years at the Pies and he was even older a couple of years ago, but it should be on our terms & heavily reduced salary.
If not than I got no issues with him exploring his options, It would be sad to see him finish up at another club but that's life, Richmond have given him just as much as he has given Richmond that's why it's been such a success.

considering its still going after all these years...must be popular and viewed by enough viewers to not agree with you.
I reckon he'll pull the pin at the end of the season.

I think he had to leave end of last year if he wanted a shot of being successful at the end of his career
I think he retires once he wraps up game 300, the only box to tick off

This is seriously funny listening to perennial fat-shaming victim Hutchy, Cornes and Lloyd telling Brendan Gale and Dustin Martin what they need to do. What absolute desperate craven ratings chasing hogwash. Hutchy and Lloyd were even squirming as they were speaking because they know that. The 3rd fool is completely shameless.

We can't have him on our list next year for whatever feel good reason or as a team moving forward into rebuilding. It's just a waste of a spot and money and if Gale allows it then it's another shit contract he's signed off on. Love Dusty, but we've paid him massive for his legendary service. He has to retire or move on if he still wants to play as we are running a football club/ business not a charity event for the rich and famous .lol
This is utterly ridiculous. Possibly/probably the best player the club has ever had, and you are with 17 games left in the season, with Dusty off a really strong year and actually performing well whilst clearly dealing with an injury in the earlier games, and you are saying we cannot have him on the list next year.
For all you or I know, the club could be playing finals next year, and you are wanting to delist or trade away the best finals player in history...why exactly?

Rubbish as he holds us back moving forward and some of his efforts Sunday showed he didn't give a damn . He was awful for team spirit and morale. Any clown knows he's the greatest player the clubs ever had, but that is not the point here .lol
I have seen him play early season games in our dynasty period where people said he didn't look like he gave a damn. Last year even early on people were saying he was cooked.
Next minute Smith and Ayres Medals and flags galore and last year came home like a steam train, pretty sure he was the top or second top rated player in the AFL over the last 8 matches.
Not going to mince words here TI, you are being idiotic. Dusty is not even asking anyone to commit to signing him until end of season. So that more than doubles the reasons for not making calls now.

Not quite sure it’s that simple
Just say Dusty signs for another 2 years it means he is invested and even if he isn’t at his best having in the side increases our chance of winning games and ultimately that would be the biggest moral boost
But it comes down to investment, if his not let him walk to another club or retire
Whatever he wants to do and thank him for everything

Don’t disagree but it’s hard to judge off the back of that game as well
We were well beaten and our team couldn’t do anything to turn the tide
Would need to see how he looks over the next few months when we can manage to field a more competitive side

no as the senior players are showing moments where they pick and choose to do whatever they please and when. ThEY DON'T CARE AND NEED TO MOVE ON OR RETIRE AS WE NEED STANDARDS TO LIFT.
