Mailman the 2nd

Top 5 pick is always too good for a player who wants to leave his own club....

Richmond have next no bargaining chips and will likely be played into a very bad deal similar to Tippett/Adelaide

He's probably already on two strikes ;)

As far as culture and role models go, there couldn't be a better fit for Martin. As mentioned, his father lives in Sydney and that could be a factor in his decision. Do the reigning premiers have the cap space after recruiting key forward Kurt Tippett? 

LMFAO - Dont think so bud!

If they do have space then they've hired the Melbourne Storm's accountant  ::)

QuoteNathan Buckley spoke strongly about culture after the club's elimination final loss and he appears to be more focused on bringing through a young team in his own mould. Having said that, if the club loses Dale Thomas, Martin would be a perfect on-field replacement. 

Verdict: An attractive option for Martin, and the Magpies should deal if they lose Thomas. Possible.
What sort of Journos do they have over at the AFL website?

I don't understand how Dustin Martin could be the type of players Buckley would be looking for  :P

Dustin Martin ‏@DustinMartin4

There have been a lot of conflicting stories going around about myself and the Richmond Footy Club.

At the weekend, I asked my manager Ralph Carr to request an extension of time from Richmond, to allow me to fully consider the options about my future.

This decision was made purely by me, together with my family. As you can understand, this is a very important decision for myself and my family and one that I won't make lightly.

I want to make it clear that I appreciate everyone's patience in allowing me the time to make this decision.

The claims that I have walked out on the Richmond Football Club are totally incorrect. I can tell you that at this time, no decision has been made regarding my future

His decision is to pursue other contracts for $$$. Otherwise he'd have signed.  >:(

Vinny

That is huge news! Imagine him at Carlton :o

Prefer him over Daisy easily and he is not injury prone. Also would wind up Tiges fans ;)

If we are willing to offer 650k for Daisy, why not go for Dusty instead and pay that bit extra?

But we also need a key forward!

Richmond trade: Martin + Pick 12
GWS trade: Pick 1 + Taylor Adams

Hawthorn trade: Buddy, get Dusty
GWS trade: Pick 1, get Buddy
Richmond trade: Dusty, get Pick 1

Just throwing out some hypotheticals :)

it depends on what the differential is for mine. If he can get A LOT more elsewhere then I just see it as common sense on his behalf.

Vinny

Give us Dusty and we will give you Josh Bootsma ;)

Flower it..just take him!


Please.

You see Caro's tweet threatening if he leaves she will release any info she has on him that's pretty lol a journo threatening a player

If Dustin Martin leaves Richmond I will be left with no choice but to divulge information that has come to my attention via certain sources
