Spot on, Stig. I think RFC, Martin and Burge all decided to push it for the sake of the season. Knowing that the injury wasn't progressing. It's cost us at least one week. Maybe more. We'll see.Burge broke him down again 10 days after his initial awareness .
Except to say that the advantage may be in Victoria’s favour, not NSW.
As a NSW resident I can unequivocally state that AFL features seldom on nightly news. That is particularly the case with Ch7 who despite being the AFL broadcaster, will focus on NRL in an effort to combat the comparative advantage that 9 has with broadcast coverage of that code.
And be aware, 7 News rates higher than 9 , at least in NSW.
So , I’d conclude that post football , there’s no advantage, income wise, with a Sydney residence. But we won’t mention the weather or horse racing or beaches, etc.
Yet that clip has since been edited as he went on to say that he is a Richmond Man and is a required player.The problem arose because coach Dimma

Now it all makes sense. He is going to Sydney. There is going to be BIG breaking news soon. He wants to go for the anonymity up there. There is going to be an announcement that he is the second gunman that was on the grassy knoll when JFK was assassinated and he wants to avoid all the media frenzy911, the Moon landing & the club covering up Martin leaving.
So what is the source and date of these words, if they are Carr's genuine own?Ralph Carr being deep & meaningful:
"People know your name, not your story. They’ve heard what you’ve done, but not what you’ve been through. So take their opinions of you with a grain of salt. In the end, it’s not what others think, it’s what you think about yourself that counts. Sometimes you have to do exactly what’s best for you and your life, not what’s best for everyone else. TRUTH………."
The second part. Maybe we are aware of the move, the hammy was slight and Dusty has told the club he is done for this year.
Sydney lowballing Bud, him not signing, the need for them to have a star there's so much smoke coming out of Sydney. We are suddenly heavily linked to GWS players (some in contract) that would need a trade, there's some more smoke. Buddy has looked so good this year, he can go on. The money thing would sort itself out unless they are waiting on something.
And here is the biggest one, if Dusty was staying and all in he would simply need to do is put on a club video for 30 seconds stating that he has had a really tough year, thank everyone for all the support, and state how much he is looking forward to finishing 2022 strongly and a big 2023. But we haven't had a single word, from our biggest most marketable star via a safe club website since he has come back. You can have privacy and protect your player by putting out that video. It all goes away, every conversation in the media, every question is answered, "You saw the video." Instead, we have statements like "I'm really confident he will stay" from people like Jack. Who doesn't know a thing but that's the only answer he can give. Anything else adds fuel to the fire.
Far too much stuff isn't adding up. If Dusty, the club, and his management were all on the same page, we would have put this story to bed months ago.
Too many smarts in the club for it to linger like this. Too many smart people in the club to let it get out. Too many smart people at the club who COULD stage manage four months so we protect Dusty because he has been an absolute icon, a once in a lifetime player, a one in a 120-year player who the club cares about deeply who has gone through a traumatic period of life and we want to take care of.
The entire era of success has been about vulnerability and being open. I firmly believe that Dusty has been upfront truthful and honest with those in charge and told them he needs a change and we are doing everything to make that happen with the least amount of friction and pressure on Dustin.
We'd be hypocrites to do it any other way.
Only does “Killer” videos.Dustin Martin doesn't do pissy little videos.

Dusty will be recognised everywhere, just as much in Sydney, it's all media rubbish, swans cap is bursting, as many young players needing and getting pay rises,they can't even pay buddy anywhere near what he was on just as much for cap reasons as for performance.Now it all makes sense. He is going to Sydney. There is going to be BIG breaking news soon. He wants to go for the anonymity up there. There is going to be an announcement that he is the second gunman that was on the grassy knoll when JFK was assassinated and he wants to avoid all the media frenzy
no he does not. No player has ever done one of that nature that I can recall, and for good reason, and Dusty is the least likely to. Players have come out in interviews and said 'I'm staying' and left, so it doesn't provide a guarantee anyway. There are very few certainties in footy, and to paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, even they aren't completely certain.Dustin Martin doesn't do pissy little videos.
Would he consider some sky writing do you reckon ? One of those planes that does the Vapor trail writing thing in the sky ? egno he does not.

But personally I agree with scoop in that I think there is some smoke to this fire, how much, who knows, staying: going he might be 50:50, 90:10, 20:80, whatever, even if its 99:1 you wouldn't do a video.
you should be in player management. A blimp could be good too if its too windy.Would he consider some sky writing do you reckon ? One of those planes that does the Vapor trail writing thing in the sky ? eg
