Thanks for sharing DA.
Appreciate you cant say too much and saying anything can cause a reaction.
Having said that this is generally a good forum including your contribution
It is fact . The motivation side of things has become an issue for him
He gets to the 300 then who knows
We have been subject to Dusty rumours for so long and there have been so many of them that it is hardly a surprise that anything posted would be questioned. Of course every now and again one might be true but there is no way of people on this site knowing what is true and what isn't. I reckon if you post a rumour or something you heard unless you are going to post the source you are fair game to be questioned, but politely of course.
I've had the odd source over the years. One of my friends is related to someone who worked in the player agent space and it was amazing what I heard about potential and actual player movements. That source has gone about 7-8 years ago but what it taught me was that there are lots of discussions that go on that never come to anything, because plenty of potential deals don't happen. Clubs are interested in players all the time.
I have heard through what I would consider a really good source that Dusty will not be going to the Suns, or lets say it is extremely unlikely. That is not from anyone around Dusty but at the Suns end.

Pretty clear from Carr, loves the Tiges, loves the game, no intention of retiring.
Yes. And the same goes for motivation. He might have been or might be having motivation issues, most footy players do, we all do, doesn't mean they retire. Its a long bow, which is typical and understandable.
As I said earlier, it used to called a form slump.
i guess Tom Morris read the Carr article as well -
What a parasite, feeding off the Blobster
I wonder how the contract discussions are going and how that is playing out in all this?
We all love Dusty but if I was Blair Hartley I would offer him one year at $600k or so. There may be an element of footy mortality playing out in this, a realisation that the days of mega contracts are over for him.
Nobody puts Dusty on the 600. 750-800, with a second year option and a bonus, legend, GOAT, severance, retirement 500 if he retires and doesn't go to another club.
You may be right Snake but the point is he is no longer in the upper echelons of player payments
Reportedly on 1.2 or 1.3 Mill.
I would give a flat 5 hunge thou.
Slicing 7 or 8 hunge off to help attrract a big name to Punt Rd.
Simply stated he ain't worth any more than that now, IMHO.
Well past his best, it's still a great golden handshake for an elder statesman.
Now Dust, you need to start punching out some Dusty Juniors.
4 would be nice.
2 boys and 2 girls for our future teams.
Sorted!
I wonder how much media he will do? I suspect he will do some for RFC like the obligatory photo with Jack, Cotch, St Francis, KB and Shedda but I can't imagine he would do much outside that.Dusty must play his 300th game it will be an unforgettable great achievement for him
It will be a sensational day, the fans will come out in force showing how muchthere is for a truly Richmond great
I didn't say he was, and I agree, but 600 is too big a swing, thats Brandon-Ellis money.
Just looking at it purely at face value, he's still one of the best players in the comp. Might have slipped from top 3 to top 25, but still a gun.
*Brandon-Ellis-if-you-have-Dan-Richardson-or-Craig-Cameron-in-charge money.
Salary cap won't be a problem for us in the short to medium term, its a factor, always is, but not a pressing one. Thats one of the benefits if where we're at.
ha ha, sure, but you'll find plenty more good ordinary players in that bracket.
just googled, 122 players on >$600K in 2022.
