Oppo Camp Other Clubs News/General Discussion

[PonsfordMagpie]

The way Dimma has treated Richmond lately has been so piss poor. Like I'm glad they are shit but fmd he has been a complete scum bag. First he recruited Hopper and Taranto then he decided to leave Richmond I wonder how those 2 guys feel and now he is raiding their list by getting Rioli and Martin. I honestly didn't think Martin would do that. Bit scummy by him as well tbh.

Yeah, it's funny as an opposition supporter to see them crash and burn, but I can understand why Richmond supporters would be pissed off.

 

[HoraceStrasbork]

Nah **** ‘em, let them squirm.

Hope they win the next 10 spoons.

You are not thinking clearly. Abysmal failure of this magnitude is reserved for the scum and only the scum

just retired, I feel really bad for the bloke. He gets drafted as a mature age player and just constantly gets injured so never really gets a proper chance to show he belongs at the level.

 

[sr36]

news reports are that dusty reached out to the suns mid season. I think he was retiring in the same way that dimma was retiring.

Wouldn't he have been a free agent? And thus no gain in doing it this way?

 

[HoraceStrasbork]

Any Richmond supporter begrudging their greatest of all time padding out his retirement fund needs an uppercut. They have gotten more than full value out of Dusty already!

You must have a handy uppercut

 

[AmericanMustard]

**** Richmond. Not sure what they’re complaining about. Sure, their favourite coach and player lied to them and stabbed them in the back.

But they’re also going to get a fast tracked rebuild on the back of some players who want to go to the right place who are happy to pay more than they’re worth. Very rare that happens.. Some of them might even be tempted to keep their membership instead of letting it lapse to jump on the wagon a few years later

Developed it with copious self-administration.

 

[Matt_352]

I hate Richmond as much as the next person but doing this is complete bs in my opinion

If he declares he's retired, then there has to be rules / processes in place for if he wants to come back
- direct compo from acquiring club to former club
Or
- have to stay out of the game for a 12 months (or whatever)

**** SCUMMOND THEY DESERVE THIS

no idea if it’s even true just that that’s what’s been reported, but you’re right there’s no need for subterfuge with him being a free agent

 

[jmac70]

Tigers eat their own!

I don’t blame them. One of their greatest ever players treating them like fools.

 

[Apex36]

I thought the AFL had implemented rules around this. Not that I care as I despise Richmond as much as I do Carlton

Was he out of contract this year? Pretty sure the Mal Michael rule only applies if a player retires under contract and then “changes their mind” to walk to another club.

I'd probably be less pissed off if he'd said he was going & not retired first.

Maybe he didn't think he'd get the same response for his last match with the Tigers if he was going elsewhere ..

Go home Dave, you’re drunk.

 

[soreplums]

Petrecca

He’ll sit out 2025 and play with us in 2026!

 

[Tadpole]

The signs are positive, at least. Who knows with that lot though what team will actually turn up or not tonight.

Can they be any worse than last week? They really gave up.

My head says they'll be thrashed by the young, fired up, cocky Hawks. But my heart wants Port to come out & perform a miracle, then they can get thrashed next week for all I care

 

[partypie]

St.Kilda licking their lips for one of their yearly recycled spuds

Also, can’t believe Orazio was kept before him

Contract Status: UFA at the end of 2025

 

[partypie]

Isn’t the compo pick determined by the band it falls within according to the wage the Suns are paying him?

At age 33 Dusty isn't even worth a half-eaten pack of Twisties in the FA compo system.

I think they have fair cause to object to the less than upfront way in which it has been presented. Seems like that's how Dimma operates. Something to be said for just owning ones decisions, no?

FFS, if he goes there, he will go via free agency or trade. There’s nothing to see there.

He's UFA, nothing to see at all - except the melts from Richmond supporters.

I haven’t taken a peek, but the thought makes me happy

Surely not, but this is the same club that gave us 119 back in the day.

I feel the same as you with wanting them to win tonight, and then whatever happens happens.
