Universal Love Martin Retirement

[Muddiemoose]

We should pay Dustin's salary in return for a draft pick

Don’t think we can unless he signs a contract with us first and trade him under that contract

Paying extra off Riolis contract would work but that’s it

Well said. Time we all moved on. Some people are clearly over emotional about Martin's movements from here on in.

Still a Richmond great.

How many times are you going to tell people to move on? We get it - you think people should move on. Shut the **** up

Onya buddy

I would've much rather Martin requested a trade than going to GC after "retiring". I just think it's a slap in the face to RFC fans. And if he does go and starts performing at a high level again it's just going to open up a whole new can of worms.

Roger Dean wasn't slow in his early days. He would still be a massive upgrade on TT, Hopper, Dow, JGTI and KMAC.
Dean is a Tiger immortal who again adapted his game over time and he would be better than guys like Rowell, Neale, McGrath etc etc. He's no Primadonna and could play bc he was smarter and tougher than most in his days. Unless you've seen this guy play then you are under estimating hoW brilliant he was. He's in my top 10 Tigers of all time.

my family got seasons tickects in 1970 and then on, 67-69 saw the odd game, My recollections of Roger were being at the bottom of lots of packs, hard working , I was late Primary school years and his career was in its later years , he was captain , but didn't see the deeds that got him there, so apologies if I put him in the wrong group

At that time , this stuck in my memory , "we had the centre line from heaven" seemd to get said a lot in the late 60's Burke, Barrot & Clay. Burke and Clay were quick back then, and Bustling Billy could really wow everyone with dashing play, Bartlett was in his prime, Royce Hart was the darling of Richmond supporters we were spoilt for stars back then and easy to be dazzled by them
