That is where the former club paying some of the contract comes in to it, which then impacts the value of the pucks handed over.
If GWS/Sydney were to take Dusty on and pay his full contract value themselves then we'd get a lesser value in picks given they're taking on the contract.
However if he wanted to move and we agreed to pay some of the contract, then the value of the trade increases.
Can you send a pic of your misses / home or anything else you have , I may be willing to do a deal with you ?
You wouldn't do that deal?
Big home ?
Call it a hunch , I just don’t see gws exciting dusty

I am not interested in Hopper if Dusty does go to GWS. He has been out and he does not tick enough boxes for me.
There are a host of other picks/players I would prefer, but I would be happy if Dusty stayed to

IIRC the messaging out of the club on any player including Dustin has been if they wish to leave the club would look to ACCOMODATE such a move .
Accomodate doesn’t = bent over .
Dustin remains the biggest draw card in the game , any talk of anything less than a opposing clubs first and second or two high end A graders solely for Dustin is dillusional .

Good point, Sydney have the track record to accommodate a Dusty. His agent will push him there.
It will gut me if he leaves though .

Swans do not have enough colateral.
These two first rounders of the Swans is not enough. He could go to the Swans and still not contend. I am not that excited about the Swans youth as others. They are good but they are not at the Heeney and Mills level. I actually think GWS have the better list, it is just coaching and a skewing of talent has not helped them get a better team combination
I certainly wouldn’t want us helping out the AFL or Sydney with any trade of Dusty ….. both entities are corrupt
What I don't get is that we've been linked to both Taranto and Hopper, and yet it's the Swans that are getting linked to Dusty and not GWS?

3 way trade. We get Hopper and Taranto, Swans get dusty(we pay no wages) and GWS get 2 first round picks from the swans. might be some other pick swaps etc as well.

Caro has changed her mind about dusty to Sydney
‘It’s on’: Swans ‘show interest’ as Richmond now ‘looking at life beyond Dusty'

“Sydney have shown some interest. Not directly necessarily in Dustin Martin."
Huh!
So Sydney have shown interest .. in ...........
Not Dusty Martin.
And Dusty hasn't been as engaged as usual because of his dad dying.
So = Dusty to Sydney.
I'm confused Caro. You said there's something in it, but also said there's nothing about Dusty going to Sydney. So, which, what, huh?

We don't need, can't afford and won't get Hopper and Taranto. One or the other.
Yeah probably. I still reckon we pickup Matt Crouch for cheap. Averaging 27 disposals and 4.1 clearances a game @ 74% DE this season. Only just turned 27 and a former all Australian and best and fairest winner. Over his injury issues.
He's not glamorous but cracks in and would be handy feeding the ball out to Sonsie, Bolton, Graham etc. Good replacement for Cotchin for little cost.
I don't think Dusty gets two firsts.
If we took Hopper and Taranto off GWS, surely they can then afford Dusty for themselves? They've still offered Taranto $500k, so their cap isn't totally dry.
Doubt Richmond would even consider him as he can't cover the ground which is why he keeps getting dropped for Adelaide - doesn't run hard defensively.
Dimma only cares for midfielders high aerobic ability and 2 way runners.
Sounds like Will Brodie and Jarryd Lyons.

There’s a reason they’re not playing him. He can find it no problems but he’s not working hard enough defensively. What’s going to change if we pick him up?

Would prefer we go all or nothing, big name genuine A grader at a prime age like Taranto or just back our kids and development
Crouch is a little in between for me a little older so isn’t really a long term prospect and would ultimately just keep another kid out of the side
Yep it does as we had no interest in either, so it does stack up.
I doubt anyone loses sleep over not getting either of them.
Averaging more tackles, tackles inside 50, pressure acts and defensive half pressure acts than both Cotchin and Prestia this season.
