Ralph was quoted saying two years. You'd think he'd remember how long his biggest client has left on his contract.
Either Ralph or the journo were 3 sheets to the wind when they had the conversation or more likely the journo made it up, because the contract does not end until end of 2024.

Let me guess. The AFL would give us a 3 rd draft pick for Martin

Regarding Dusty’s contract length, maybe there are clauses in it we don’t know about? Possibly player driven early release?

Carr would know Dusty’s contract inside out, so he is clearly playing games here.

It was widely reported and acknowledged that he signed a 7 year contract at the end of 2017. That would mean it expires at end of 2024 season. Unless there is something in the contract that Carr and the club is not telling us?

Anyway worry about it if it gets to that stage. But that’d be just like Sydney; offering a huge contract to a bloke well into his 30s. Ridiculous even if he is one of the best of all time. Superficial club from a superficial city.

What would a contracted Dusty be worth in 2yrs time?
Plenty.
31 y.o. Another flag or two n perhaps another Normie n the Dusty one would still be worth a couple of early first rounders for a team trying to find some ongoing relevance in Sydaknee.

My view - press will beat this up to try and distabilise the Tigers like every other time they come out with this type of crap. Surely at least one of them can add 2017 plus 7 and then ask some relevant questions re contracts etc.

Yeah right. We will of just come off another Premiership to make our run 6 Premierships in 8 years. The AFL will give us nothing by way of comp.

If Dusty were to go to another club it would be the saddest day of my football life. It is real love we all have for this SUPERSTAR.
