Player Watch #4: Dustin Martin

[Bazzar]

Tom Browne is a complete flog

I think.... Dustin will.....

I think.... Dustin is angry....

Don't think Tom it's not your strong point.

The entire discussion didn't fill me with confidence, for the first time I'm actually getting nervous.

Bloke has no idea. This shit just gets me angry

I agree with the people who say they want Danger to get off the charge because I want there to be no conjecture when Dusty wins it.

Hahahaha that "report"

"I think" every 3 seconds

Blokes who are unhappy don't play like Dusty has over the journey. We also know that. He's a restricted free agent. He loves the club, but, he also wants to maximise this contract. The club reserves the right to match. It is something that most commentators just don't seem to have a handle on. It's mind blowing really.

They are just making shit up. Nothing has changed. They have no new info. Time to makeup a story.

Agreed - will spew if we make a final offer of 1.0, and he leaves for 1.2 or 1.3

Although let's say a 5 year deal was done and dusty took a mill more to move , taking tax into account he would virtually be leaving for an extra 540 k over 5 years .

We will match to 1.25 I rekon

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

Haven't even heard what Tom Browne said (who is Tom Browne?)
However it's very concerning that Dusty hasn't signed and it seems he is very motivated by money as there is no reason for him not to sign right now.
- Team is flying
- Dustin is playing career best football
- Club has done a lot to help him off the field
- Highest offer in the clubs history by a long way

So now its his dad who hates Richmond? Not Carr? This is becoming farcical now.
Most overhyped player negotiation in the history of the AFL.

On the couch want the rules changed, want Krueger suspended

If Dusty goes to North it will be a backwards step in his career. He will struggle with not being around the same crew and watch him spiral out of control outside of football.

Make no mistake its the people around RFC that are keeping him line. We know how to handle him by giving him just enough freedom to be himself but no too much at the same time.

Buyer Beware IMO.

Lets see how Dusty handles himself as the number 1 man in a team that will finish bottom of the ladder. He will have media chasing him all the time.

Not much we can do about it, so don't worry too much

Ps. I'm backing in that other bloke on twitter

Why would a soccer insider randomly say dusty is gonna re sign with us if he hadnt heard some very solid mail?

 

[joelsyt]

Match to 1.2-1.25 anymore than that tell him to go for it. Dusty is not bigger than the Richmond football club. Yeah next year will be harder without him, but we have to draw the line somewhere. If money is what motivates him then let him go be Mr mercenary with North Melbourne.

Jonathon Brown does not have a clue!

What were they making up?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Dusty needs to be piss tested if he thinks leaving for Arden street in front of 3 guys and a dog is a good idea

 

[Cotchy9]

How much of a boost would it be if just before finals he came out and signed up? I reckon it'd really spur the group on

 

[BKM78]

Im not buying he is going. I think the Carr show is in full effect again. Nobody is saying Dusty is going to Nth. Nobody is saying Dusty wants to go to Nth. All the noise is that they are the highest bidder. Carr was at a game. Carr hates RFC....no wait Dustys dad hates RFC. Its going to take more money to keep him...blah blah blah.
Its a game of chicken.

To be honest, I don't even think we should go that high.
$1.1m-1.15m a year for six years at the very most. That takes him close to $7mill over six years.
We need to recruit others, he knows this, if he wants to stay he won't cripple the club to do so.

Which bloke?

 

[GroggSquad]

We can harp on about how much we "saved Martin's life", but the bottom line is we took advantage of his "off-field" issues to cheap out and lowball an elite star of the competition on his last deal.

I hated it at the time and always feared that move would come back to haunt us. Would be vintage Richmond admin ******* this up....
