Banter Geelong V Richmond - GO!

[Wosh]

In the interests of keeping your back and forth shite fights out of match threads so normal people can talk.

Keep it clean and above the shorts
Off topic rubbish clogging up match threads will be moved here, knock yourselves out.

This is the exact point Snr started regretting going to Geelong. I can literally see his soul leave his body.

You know the funniest thing about all of these Ablett posts?

And yes I know you’ll probably plumb the depths with some comment about drugs or whatever. Have at it.

There has probably never ever been a player in history who has cared less about accolades and rewards from the game, with the possible exception of his own son Nathan.

‘Can it work for both of us?’: Dimma breaks silence on Dusty bid, drops hint on big trade plans

‘Can it work for both of us?’: Dimma breaks silence on Dusty bid, drops hint on big trade plans

www.foxsports.com.au

Speaking on AFL 360 on Monday night, Hardwick delved deeper into the much-speculated discussions.

“We’ve had conversations,” he began on Fox Footy.

“What we’ve just got to sit there and figure out is: ‘Can it work for both of us? Is it a viable option for both parties? Are we motivated to go into this?’

“And look, there’s no rush from our point of view — those sorts of decisions aren’t made until about a month’s time.”

Asked for his ‘gut feel’ on where those conversations are headed, Hardwick confirmed his club is “certainly open” to the prospect of Martin donning Suns colours.

“We’ve just got to have further conversations,” the first-year Gold Coast coach continued.

“We’ve had conversations, and from our point of view, he’s a really, really good player — it’s just (about) whether it is working for both parties, whether Dustin has the motivation to continue to play.

“He’s been a fantastic player for the Richmond Football Club ... It’s just (about) whether he wants to sit there and look at his career, but then we’ve also got to figure out ‘well, how does it fit with the Gold Coast?’

“We’re in the initial stages of those conversations.”

If Martin was to unretire, he would be eligible to join the Suns as an unrestricted free agent.

Ok ok I see what’s going on in here…

There seems to be alota angry angry Richmond folks… who seem to be struggling to deal with the fact they are the worst team in the competition and those big mean successful top 4 cats are hurting their feelings.

Guys… you need to learn to set realistic goals. You tried to stay relevant recruiting Taranto and hopper.. you tried to be geelong… but you aren’t… you are Richmond who don’t have the culture or on off field abilities to sustain success.

Live within your means, and just look forward to watching the under 18 championships for a few years.

imagine being such a garbage football club that multiple of your players are requesting to go to the football wasteland that is Gold Coast

It's not that bizzare that players that won premierships under him would want to play for him.
they obviously love him, Dimma poached Grigg from Geelong as well.

 

[Cleansweep17]

Your desperation for him to leave is so sad. What a life you guys have, must be thrilling.

So money and bad culture at Geelong. Thought so.

Lol. Talk about reaching.

Reach all the way to Ukraine for injected substances that were never tested. Just called "Actovegin" via an invoice. No certification records for this,

Geelong just had invoices, Essendon did not.

Your club, made a statement that went to great lengths to deflect, referring to a different treatment in 2007 undertaken in Germany

and

A player public denial of any injection undertaken at the club. The Club made efforts to smoke screen engaging with the club by stating that he had not been to the club.

However

The tribunal ultimately accepted the ASADA submissions, making specific reference to Dank’s link to Geelong in its findings.

The tribunal wrote: “Mr Robinson suggested profiling players, including ‘amino acids analysis’. While at Geelong Mr Robinson used the services of Mr Dank.”

Geelong not subjected to the same WADA investigation that was undertaken for Essendon.

You’ve got to admire and give us credit for getting away with that while Essendon took the fall. Geelong = smooth criminals.
