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

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. Thereās nothing to see there.

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

Surely not, but this is the same club that gave us 119 back in the day.Can they be any worse than last week? They really gave up.

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

Wise move to drop Dixon. I know they've said illness, but we all know that's BS.
Played like he had gout last week.
As Apex36 pointed out Martin's monster contract ran out this year and he is an UFA. He checked out last year. I wouldn't touch him. I hooe he goes and p*sses off Rowell and the like

Not sure he was ever good enough to be honest. Will probably end up playing with Nathan Vardy at North Warrnambool next season.
Is SOS back there giving contracts outContract Status: UFA at the end of 2025
glorious
I wouldn't want him either.
Jus saying he and Dimma are taking everyone for fools pretending it wasn't all sorted already.
Same as he did with his own contract too
Not moral objection, just a question of form and manners.
Matters to some and not others

I seriously doubt theyād have gone to the lengths of having Martin pretend to retire and then change his mind rather than just offer him a contract as a UFA.
Think youāve got a bit of tin foil hat action going here tbh.
Naivety like that must be bliss
David Schwartz called this outcome back on June. He said not to listen to any hubris as denials were just for optics. I don't understand the need for subterfuge when he was an UFA. After his lack of effort and motivation this year they would have been happy for him to go. Well I suppose his "retirement" lasted longer than Dimma's

Derp herp. I guess there was some big conspiracy behind Hodge going to the Lions after he retired too.
Either way, people are getting pissy over nothing here, itās not like heās doing a Mal Michael and trying to move for free while under contract (which he canāt do anymore anyway).
Just sit back and enjoy the melts from Tigers fans instead of caring about the optics of a legitimate player move.

They're irritating when successful but at least they're a proper football club unlike others I could name
