Not going anywhere. Lock thread.
Personally I think Martin will chase the $$$$$$, if Richmond offer them he's going nowhere, so it's going to come down to who has room and who is willing to throw them out there, Martin will be looking for big payday, I don't blame him, not sure what his career options will be when he finishes footy

Give him what he wants. We can't afford to lose him, although I doubt he'd want to leave, all the fanfare etc that comes with a big name recruit doesn't sit well with him
Will depend on how much Richmond allow him to get away with. If they are trying to re-mould a culture of 'non-partying' then I think its a mutual benefit for him to leave.
However they need to throw bags of cash at him, they can't afford to lose him. He is by and far their best player forward of half back.

They'd be silly to let him go for culture purposes unless he slips up

Depends what he wants from football, can't see him ever being part of a successful side at Richmond but maybe he is happy to forego success and stay at the club he loves

Would be an idiot to stay with us, we are going nowhere as a club. That said I'd rather offload cotchin to make sure dusty stays.

We will see how another ex Tiger goes this year and then may think about in an offer. Though doubt it, he loves the Tiges. Cant see him going

If WA secedes then the WA government could give his father citizenship for the WA Republic. Dockers and Eagles not out of the hunt.

3-year, $2.25 million deal. Locks him in right through his prime, then see where he's at as a player and person by then.
And what if someone offers him a 5 year, $4 million deal?

Well then it's up to him to decide how much staying at Richmond means to him.
Personally, I think the deal I mentioned is fair, and offers both player and club security and flexibility for the future.
I'd say another year on if he maintains his form he will get 5 years $5 million, will be one of the highest paid players in the league, danger could have got more if he didn't just want to live where he did

Spotted in Perth over the weekend. Make it happen Bondy. White line fever got the West Coke boys over the line.

If WA secedes from the nation, the Dockers and Eagles are thrown out of the national league...

Damn that Martin guy is good...Taking part in a team training camp in QLD, and still having time for a meal in Perth!

No we won't. The competition will have to be renamed though..Something like the Western Australian Republic Australian Football League: WARAFL

You can never be sure about a players intentions, especially when he's out of contract (although contracts don't seem to mean much to players these days), I really doubt GWS would take another shot at Dusty after last time. I imagine that would have left a bit of a bad taste in their mouths.

Not like WA would leave anyway, so feel free to have your fantasies.
That exact photo is what had your board go into meltdown at the thought of getting Bennell for peanuts.

Perhaps, but at least he was actually in Melbourne at the time, and had really met with the club (before the club said no).
How's that going by the way?

Typical cope from a leastern stater. The War drums are pounding hard in this state.
