Both really likeable blokes with a bit of humour. Both super aggressive players too, would run through a brick wall for the club. We are in good hands with these guys and quite a few others.

If George stays. Out of all the recruits. He’s the one im worried about

Contracted until end of 2026. Doesn't seem like the type to want the attention of a big club with his personality.
Sick of losing? Not happy we brought in Parker? Georgy boy didn't think he needed any help?
I know he's said that publicly before about the young mids thinking they can do it.

DuckYeah claims to have spoken to “some guy” (and I’m not saying he didn’t) who knows George.

Said George was sick of losing and doesn’t like Harry.

I think I have that right

Retired Richmond star Dustin Martin won’t be lost to footy — it appears he is set to join the commentary ranks with Fox Footy.

Martin, 33, was said to be interested in joining the Gold Coast Suns and reuniting with his old Tigers coach Damien Hardwick.

But the 302 game superstar was recently captured in secret talks with key footy powerbrokers in South Melbourne.

He was seen sharing a coffee with Foxtel boss Patrick Delany, Fox Sports managing director Steve Crawley, Fox Footy commentator and former Richmond teammate Jack Riewoldt and his manager Ralph Carr.

Foxtel boss Patrick Delany, Fox Sports managing director Steve Crawley, Dustin Martin, Fox Footy commentator Jack Riewoldt and Martin's manager Ralph Carr.

If Martin joins the star-studded Fox Footy stable it would be a huge coup with speculation about his future running rife in footy circles.

At the Tigers best and fairest last month Martin said he was “happily retired” when walking into the function.

The deadline to nominate for the draft is Wednesday at 3pm. Still looking super fit despite a change in career direction looming, Martin’s signature with Fox Footy would follow that of retired Geelong star Tom Hawkins

and former champion Shaun Burgoyne who was poached from Channel 7.

The normally media shy Martin, a three-time premiership hero and three-time Norm Smith medal winner, hasn’t worked behind the camera before but an introduction to the footy landscape beside his former teammate Riewoldt would be a massive lure for viewers.
Fox Footy is intent on bolstering its coverage with footy experts for the start of a landmark rights deal signed by the Foxtel Group.
For at least the first eight rounds nationally and at least the first 15 rounds in Victoria, the only place to watch AFL live on a Saturday will be on Kayo Sports or Foxtel.
A Foxtel Group spokesperson declined to comment.

All good, not serious. Just taking the piss from the Hawthorn racism case
