I mean, when your head coach continues to feed them I can see why the media reacts this way. Dimma just escalated this issue. If he was trying to support Dusty, then i think the opposite was the result. Media will escalate now. Was a dumb move by Dimma. Just dumb.
This whole ‘go to Sydney to escape media’ is nonsense.
It isn’t 2002 anymore. Dusty is a marquee player and would only be fanning the flames of a hungry media by creating a story.
At Richmond anything he does is now is a bonus. At Sydney every possession will be accounted against his salary.
Who can predict what Dusty will do, but if he thinks he can slink away to Sydney to escape the glare of the AFL then he’s in for a shock.
If it’s a lifestyle issue, that can wait a coupla years in the scheme of things.
Nah, he stays or retires

I can't see what the issue is.
IF Dusty wants to head north it won't be a straight swap with Glen Nugent.
Hardwick knows what he is doing.
He knows Dusty better then anyone else and he mightve heard the same rumours we all have and he wants the clowns (Who are in Dusty's ear,) you can have him but get ready to pay up.
Dusty has 2 yrs left on contract, it's better planning Richmond without Dusty then waking up one day and he is gone.

It was condescending, and agree it was poor.
The 'i support RFC' gets me everytime.
Ill try to be better
Yeah, as if hes gonna live in the blue mountains.
He'd get a penthouse in Bondi.
And The only difference will be punters will come up to him and say
'that cutout conversion was sick busty'
Absolutely unthinkable.
With truely surprising comments coming out of Richmond, even from Dimma.
A few days back the Club President goes to the trouble of repeating a recent conversation with Dusty in which he assured her he would play out his days at Richmond. Some time back Brendan also reminded Ralph Carr that Duty's contract tied him to the Tigers until the end of the 2024 season.
Even if this coach has decided that he wants to trade Dusty, he is an employee of the RFC, and it is not in his employers interest to tell Dusty or the Sydney clubs that Richmond would be willing to allow him to break his contract.
Ditto his equally surprising comments about MP.
His lawyer would have loved that.
I was thinking the same as you but now reflecting back I think Hardwick has handled this perfectly. We through our support around when he briefly left the game. We put the individual first and their well being. Winning games of football was secondary. Then he comes back and we again throw our support around him if (big if) he wanted to leave. Does Hardwick really want Dusty to leave - absolutely not. But the PR exercise has again lifted the club to the top of tree. It shows the care we have for our players. Its a perfect advertisement for any prospective new players wanting to come on board.
The last two years hasn’t been great.
Someone have a ‘quiet word in his ear’ , please.
If this were somehow come to fruition, there will a lot of kids who adore Dusty left a little confused and ‘teary eyed’.
That’s just the kids !
Just called the king.
All good staying put.
Couldn't face playing against Flappers & Castagna.
Sorry Sydney Kiss my Asss

I got a haircut yesterday and the hairdresser was telling me shes a single mum of a 6yo tiger fanatic.
She said her son is totally perplexed why she
'Wouldnt just marry Dusty'
I agree Aces,
Unlike hawks, our winning culture will endure between dynasties.
dimma, benny and peggy understand our cultural formula,
Cause they wrote it, enacted it, and revelled in it.
(And jeff kennett isnt at richmond)
They will work against its erosion as long as they breathe i reckon.
The other element i reckon at play, is magnamanity is a commodity tightly held by the victorious.
And everyone who matters,
Knows Dusty will never, ever, leave the richmond footy club.
Ever
Any reason you wouldn't recommend said hairdresser for Dustys consideration?I got a haircut yesterday and the hairdresser was telling me shes a single mum of a 6yo tiger fanatic.
