News Dustin seeks to extend contract.

[theflea]

Yeah true. In a few years he will probably be our best player and get paid accordingly. Right now I think 600k is pretty fair.

Lids is on 550k

It should be the same then imo.

 

[fargothegreat]

wrong

What is Lids on then?

Must admit I thought it was 550k.

Not always, do you consider Allen Jeans a good teacher?

One of the best....

 

[TigerImposter]

If DH was half the teacher of Jeans then I would revere him
He's got two years to do it
Plenty of time to grow into the job

 

[theflea]

One of the best....

Exactly yet he couldn't tame Gary Ablett, which was my original point that sometimes no matter how good the mentor, players just wont improve or pull their finger out and work hard.

Don't agree here. I watched junior play in the vfl as a kid now he was ok and had a lot of potential , but he still needed mentoring encouragement development until his body and mind was ready for afl footy
The rest is history

Jnr? I was talking about snr, hence Jeans.

Yeah but senior was a nut case early on and against Jeansy model

Sure but underneath you said this, which states it shouldn't matter, which was my point. Sometimes for whatever reason it just doesn't work. See my drift?

Either way good teachers get the best out of their good students and with maximum results

You've got me there in a round about way
I can't recall Seniors days as a young player, but he was touted to have a lot of ability
Hawthorn were powerful and cut their losses for the benefit of their young talent on their list
Yes I made a generalisation and there sometimes are exceptions and discipline is one of them

No probs, but on Dusty I just hope he understands how better he can be with a bit better tank and gut running. Its up to him now.

[bc27]

Before extending anyone. We should probably get our captain and best player to sign.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

I think I know where that $600k a year will go...
Disgrace.

You KNOW do you.Please tell.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

If Dusty turns out half as good as (both)Abletts then i'm all for keeping dusty #Untamed#

Git it dun

 

[captain blood 17]

$700k each year. 3 year deal. Leaves scope again for a bigger deal after that. Kid is a gun. We need him.

[Straya]

It would be great if he signed up, but I reckon its going to be a long season full of silence, anticipation, bad hairstyles and possibly orange vests...

And the best bit out of all this. Martin is yet to hit 24. The kids upside is massive, more then most listed above IMO.
