I would imagine if Dusty requested a trade, we would make it happen. I would imagine a 1st round pick & a player. Some supporters would want a lot more, but because of his age it would be hard for Sydney to give much more than that in my opinion.
Knowing our luck they'll win the flag.Pick 18(lol)

Don’t think we would get that
He’s on big money and the wrong side of 30

If Dusty was to play for Sydney, they would look at having one of best finals players ever to play the game. Also like Buddy, would also get more bums on seats & also the extra merch they would sell on top of that. They would probably hope to get 4 years of play out of him at a minimum.
I'm hoping Dusty finishes with us in a few years time, if he decides he wants to play on once he gets his life sorted. The main priority is for his life to be back on track to be honest.
 
Think Dusty is a better fit at GWS, given his close association with western Sydney. Tom Green and some sort of pick could be a win/win.
 
Only thing I disagree with there is that whinging isn’t confined to any generation it is just more prevalent in all generations than it’s ever been seemingly.
We are all spoilt today and the world has become a great big whingefest, no further evidence than somebody complaining because a bloke doesn’t feel like playing footy for they team the support.
At the end of the day big ******* deal footy is such an insignificant thing in the reality of life and a bloke has gone away to do other things.
Even if he never plays again so what.
Stop your whinging about whinging

If Dustin Martin is at a 'mates' wedding on the weekend, then his place of work needs him to return to work also.
His 'mates' at the Richmond football club need him too.
Staff at a workplace are results driven. A sporting club as a place of work is also results driven.
Good enough to party, good enough to work.
Hope the Club rings Dusty this week and suggests he comes back to work asap.

Dustin Martin spotted at wedding as doubts over his future continue

Wow…. Equating enjoying a wedding with friends with the constant pressure of being one of the most watched, analysed and scrutinised players the AFL has ever seen. Just wow.

He can lie on his back and stare at the ceiling while he has his ankles strapped on a weekend. Richmond Football Club pays wages you know.
Again...I repeat....good enough to go to a social wedding event, but not to play football as your job?

Explain that reasoning to me please.

At a wedding he had 100 people watching him. At the footy he has 1-million analysing and critiquing his every move. Gee, I wonder which one places more pressure on your mental health?

Where would you prefer to live Bondi or Blacktown , if it does come to it I tip the swans would make the play , tpp would be a BIG i$$ue though they couldn’t afford 1.3 nor could gws , a 32 yo dusty would have to be happy playing at half price , which means I think a shift is unlikely if indeed he returns to footy

They’d have to retire off buddy if they wanted dusty in their cap.

I think injuries are killing us atm.
Would have been close to winning the flag last year with a fit squad.
And it’s the guns who have been injured.
 
People are starting to hate on him because the position the club is in atm

That’s all down to poor list management and not nailing the majority of our picks in the 2016-2018/19 drafts

I wish Dusty peace, happiness and respect for what he has done for the Tigs. He's our greatest player. And an immortal of our club. Missed two rounds now, and I'm happy for Dusty to play, retire or take up gardening....but this week the RFC, our Club, Dusty's employer needs to ring Dusty, and respectfully ask him directly...."Dusty, are you coming back to work this week"...."If not when?"

The Richmond Football Club is not a Charity. We are an employer, a business and a Sporting Organisation in the beginning of our Sporting season.

Dusty either starts playing, or the club needs to make some long term decisions.

So if one of your loved ones said to you their work - where they had given 12-years of impeccable service - was causing them stress, anxiety and depression so they were keen to use some sick leave / long service leave and take time away to recover mentally, would you also tell them to “Suck it up and get back to work…… pronto!”

I love the way people think they know what’s best for Martin and not Martin, his manager, his loved ones and the mental health professionals looking after him.

From the outside looking in it seems clear if Martin was pressured into a decision right now to come back or provide a precise timeline he’d hang the boots up immediately- not sure that’s what the club or us supporters want….
