Rumour Dustin Martin Pay Dispute

[Spuddd]

Surprised I haven't seen this here yet...

Listening to The Rub Catchup (20th June 2020) from Triple M.

About 2/3rd of the way in Billy Brownless makes the comment that Dustin Martin may not have actually had an injury leading into the Thursday night game againt Hawthorn, but rather is in a pay dispute with the Tigers and sat out the game as a protest. Billy's source was a man called 'Buttons'.

Make of it what you will, interesting times ahead.

 

[eddie_punchclock]

doubtful. who'd do that to their mates?

Interesting that Hardwick made a point in his post match presser saying that "Dusty isn't the RFC!"..... in other words, no one player is bigger than the club. A subtle dig by Dimma maybe?

 

[HaroLad]

Please be true.

 

[Brunswick Trap King]

Seems improbable. I doubt he'd be too welcome if he skipped out on a big loss for such a selfish reason.

All Dusty wants is to play footy. He’s not going to miss games because of a pay dispute.

 

[Beerfish]

What's their win/loss ratio with and without Dusty though?

Maybe he IS Richmond.

 

[The 747]

Yeah, nah.

 

[undefined]

lol, imagine actually believing this.

 

[Senor M]

I’m just trying to think what’s worse—-having “Buttons” be your birth name or getting that label as a nickname in later life??

 

[Credence]

It wouldn't matter which club he played for it would be the same percentage pay cut like every other player. Just another rumour to try and topple the greatest club ever. Nothing to see here.

Does seem strange to have sore ribs after 3 months off.
I heard this on the radio too, the other panelists didnt seem to care.

3-2 from the last 5. Hes only missed like 8 or 9 games in his career

He got it in the intra club before the collingwood game

 

[RAPPA]

He’s got 2 premierships and a Brownlow. Time to put the cue in the rack and go down the Gablett mercenary route.

It was done at training prior Pies match. Other panel members no Brownless reads BF. A buffoon in the Newman mould.

On the news they had footage of him training the day before the game and he looked all ok, was doing drills flat out.

So why pay him over a million a year?
Just rip him off on the secret payments off the book and he won't strike in protest

All Dusty wants is money. He’s not going to play games because of a pay dispute.

That explains why he toured GWS - sorry, was that GC ? Just wanted to keep playing..

We don't know what Richmond IS yet. We will know by the end of the year.

Conversely we do know what Essendon IS.

DONT WE...

That’s was years ago lol

Yes. The equal most successful club in the history of the game. One of the very few that literally anything could happen to and they'd survive it.

This attitude certainly hasn't caused any problems in the past.

Probably the same sort of bloke who would screw over their teammates by contracting coronavirus virus whilst in breach of the rules.
