Dustin Martin!! OH NO!!

[Ziplock]

why is anyone sus? martin is a really good player, and connors is ok, but a fringe player atm...

the clubs obviously going to cover for their stars. Yeah it was a bit harsh for connors, but hey, shower happens. I hope he gets picked up by someone else.

[PICCOLLO]

Goddard, franky and martin out.  It going to separate the men from te boys this week, esp. If pendles misses.

[HotTiges]

got cover in DSmith or Kennedy... oh yay!! anyways.. terribly frustrating as a Tiger fan about Connors.. Kid can play but is always frigging up his chance.. hope it was just a sleeping pill and nothing else.. Martin?? hmm.. heard the leadership wanted 3-4+ weeks out.. wow wee..

listened to the Richmond pressa this arvo

what a snow job

Conners - 1 hr late for training after taking a sleeping tablet prescribed to him by the Richmond doc

Ric + Conners parted ways ( ie; your ass is sacked )

Martin - 1 hr late for training after drinking and taking non prescribed sleeping tablet

2 weeks off

Cameron - " we have high standards at Rich and conners has not met them"
Press - " Parting of ways is a bit harsh for being late after taking club prescribed pills "
Cameron - " he was on his last warning about behaviour"
Press - " so conners behaviour has been no good this year "
Cameron - " No he has been good all year "
Press - " did you ask the players if illicit drugs were involved "
Cameron - " Yes we did "
Press - " why did you ask that question "
Cameron - " we thought it important to our invesigation "

and Martin gets 2 weeks for being on the piss and popping pills someone else owns ?
and then to hold a pressa and not have Martin there to face the music ? Hows will minson feel about that

This does not add up. Yes conners was late but he has been very good both on and off the field this year
What Martin did is way more serious. He's been a loose cannon and is actually staying at the pressi's house
cause they can't control him.

This goes way deeper than what has been said, but we may never know.
Stinks of a cover-up for something bigger that Richmond don't want the AFL to know

This is just misinformed rubbish mate.

Connors got sacked because he has had multiple hiccups in the past and was on his last warning. Weather it was this year or 5 years time he knew full well that one tiny thing was to be the end of him.
Martin has never been in trouble before, this was his first mistake and he was dealt with accordingly. 2 weeks off sitting on the sidelines is a decent punishment for someone showing up to training an hour late.

[yorgis]

could it be an explanation for his form drop this year, or is just 2nd year blues ???????

[Vicious Sandwhich Attack]

or is just 2nd year blues ???????

In his 3rd year?  ;)

[roo boys!]

heard the leadership wanted 3-4+ weeks out.. wow wee..

I wouldn't have minded 3, but of course he's not going to be out for the crucial match against North ::)
