Dustin Martin

[DavidSSS]

As CTT mentioned above, if he leaves for the Swans, they should be paying his entire salary. The cap space if he leaves will likely be more valuable than the draft pick we receive.

Hey, Dustin is still under contract at Richmond, if they want him and somehow we let him go etc, then we are sure as hell not paying any of his salary, ridiculous idea and you only do that if you are desperate to move a player on. We hold the whip hand, anyone wants Dustin, they pay his salary, they give us a bloody good draft pick or two and they thank us profusely. Otherwise he stays with us.

We're singing from the same hymn sheet DS. The issue is if there's only one suitor, it may make negotiating harder.

That could force everyone into the unpalatable scenario of Martin retiring.

Dusty

I’ve noticed something that I think may be quite significant!!
This is the first game that Dusty isn’t wearing a black armband !!

He is fully engaged, and looks happy........mourning period over!!

Interesting view. We hope it's all go from here.

This Marty Rustbucket. Nice user. Persist.

I do not expect to see the Dusty of old again and think people that do are unrealistic but expect the papers to continue with the 'Rusty Dusty' narrative.
I'll happily accept a 70% Dusty that is still dangerous but no longer required to carry the team on his back.
Most of all I hope Dusty still enjoys playing the game.

Well he is certainly back to looking dangerous

Just jinxed him subbed out☹

 

[WesternTiger]

Just jinxed him subbed out☹

Any word on why?

 

[caesar]

Any word on why?

Hamstring awareness.

 

[St Kevin]

His first half was his best since 2020.

 

[T-Shirt Tommy]

When he plays like he did in the first half, he is peerless.

 

[artball]

coming out firing and full of energy was good to see

 

[tigertim]

So I assume he misses next week?

 

[Rod]

So I assume he misses next week?

Fingers crossed… just looking for an excuse to give Lambert a run and it’s very minor

 

[TigerForce]

So I assume he misses next week?

Maybe doesn't want to go to GC and play against lolnorf?

 

[Jason King]

That was a master class in two quarters. Hoping he is right for next week, amaybe up forward.

 

[tha8ball]

Geez he looked like the Dusty of old in the first half.

Yep, reinforcing your point!

If only one suitor we walk away, what interest would we have in losing Martin?
