Which is funny, considering they have forever been filthy that Dusty is never talking to them
Wow, can't believe the Richmond faithful are upset about the Dusty situation. They weren't to concerned when they stripped us of Lynch, Prestia, and Caddy in their prime. We basically gifted them a pivitol part of their glory years. Now their jumping up and down about 'loyalty' and 'one club players'. Give me a break.
Elitist and oblivious

It’s only because he’s arguably the best tiger ever and Richmond have generally been good with keeping our legends 1 club players.
Believe me I wouldn’t care if it was anybody else. Even Cotchin or Riewoldt.
We are also elitist and oblivious
Cotchins comment is the best, "There’s probably a part of me that hopes it doesn’t happen because of the love that I have and I think it would be nice for him to end up being a one-club player of the Richmond footy club,” Cotchin told Channel 7’s Talking Footy".
I'm glad Cotch has Dusty's best economic and lifestyle interests at heart. Just so long as he can reminisce and feel warm and fuzzy about Dusty remaining a one club player, thats the most important thing i guess.
Funny part of that interview was when they asked him if he talked to Dusty about moving to Suns. He said no.

I hate to be the "um, actually" guy.
But we traded Caddy to Geelong, He spent 4 seasons there before getting moved on to Richmond.
Lynch was our Captain and all time goal kicker and we didn’t carry on like petulant children
As for elitist and oblivious I have met many Tigers fans over the last 8 years that act like they played in those GFs, puffed up with hubris and strutting like zoolanders poorly dressed cousin. Having said that in fairness there have been many more good ones than bad but of course the bad stick in your mind.
Richmond were the premiers and took the captain and best player from the 17th placed team, and didn’t have to pay any penalty for it (every club moved down the draft order by a spot for free agency compo)
Absolute rort - don’t really want dusty to play for us but I’d love any kind of revenge on Richmond after that period.
I carried on that is why Lynch is Captain Bedwetter.
Back to Dusty Watch I can report that Coasty and Dimma spent most of either Wednesday or Thursday hanging out together.
Sorry I can’t remember which day it was specifically.

Bring on 2025
A new guernsey, Rioli, Noble, Coasty Martin and Leo added to a team of young talent with another pre-season under their belt
Time to bend some clubs over the kitchen counter

He was a FA though and he gave good service to you guys before he left, it's not like he was contracted like Rioli than wants out.
I couldn't give a stuff about Rioli leaving tbh but Dusty should stay a Tigers legend.
Sam Mitchell, Jordan Lewis and Luke Hodge are no less Hawks legends after playing for other teams.
Dusty turned down the biggest deal in AFL history with North Melbourne to re-sign for you and bring you 3 flags. He doesn't owe anyone at Richmond anything.

I am not saying he does but it's like GC fans want Dusty just for the sake of getting some pay back on us.
Dusty is also a free agent. Shouldn't he now have the option to leave if that's what he desires?
Don't know if you realise this, but Dusty WILL stay a Tigers legend regardless of whether he plays for us next year or not. Maybe what you're actually afraid of is your own supporter base booing Dusty if he plays against Richmond next year.
There is nothing we could take from you currently that would be a like-for-like payback after you poached our captain (and best player), while you were reigning premiers and we were bottom 4.
In saying that, I don't think anyone actually cares about getting payback. Dusty would be an excellent forward for a team with lots of inside 50's (which we are) where he could utilise his footy smarts and strength a bit more than he would be able to otherwise. People want him because he would be a very good addition to our side
He also happens to know Hardwicks gamestyle a lot better than other options which obviously helps too.

It's not about payback, I assure you.
The scar tissue of the Prestia/Lynch sagas are just raw for some posters.
This is about: Can Dusty provide enough positive benefit to the club to justify whatever coin we pay him?
If yes: Then come on up.
If no: Were not a super top up club anymore, Stay down south.
It’s natural to want an eye for an eye, but Coasty Martin is not about that, it’s simply if he can offer a benefit. However you are looking to bend us over for Rioli, after taking Lynch for nothing and at some stage the shoe will be on the other foot with more and more contracted players wanting out and the price will be significant as the president has been set
