Dustin Martin

Caro is usually pretty close to the mark.

Watch out zgod, Kingywill have a hissy fit if he thinks you are calling Martin liar :hihi

 

[gutfull]

I'm sure Dusty will enjoy the 35 members that show up week in week out ))).

 

[tigerlove]

Saw a tweet saying Caro said North are right into him and we know it.

Would be easier to list who aren't right into him. Who wouldn't want him at their club?

Yep I'd imagine most clubs would ask the question. Carr it seems is doing what most managers do, try an get the best deal so his slice of pie is its biggest it can be, as for Dusty ,I'm guessing from what you hear ,is that his got every intention of staying , it's just history repeating , plays football, signs papers when told too.

Spot on gut full. I can understand the lure of the Sydney teams, or even the likes of Essendon and Collingwood but North. If he goes there I think it's safe to assume there offer is well in excess of $1.2 million a year.

North are definitely going hard I'll give them that. They are reportedly put in a mega offer for Kelly of GWS as well.

 

[zgod]

Apparently he deleted the tweet refuting caros claims.
Caro is probably shaking the tree on behalf of RFC.
My personal opinion is that he is gone.

 

[funky]

Our offer is at $850 ,000
North 1mill
Pies 1.2mill
Dont have to be a rocket scientist to figure out
Why he hasent resigned.

 

[Smoking Aces]

He will stay.

 

[jb03]

He will stay.

I'm with smoken. Reckon he will buck the trend of those delaying contract signing until the end of the year and stay with us.

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

I reckon Martin will stay at RFC, but it will be on much more than the reputed $850,000 he has been recently offered by the Tigers. RFC will have to shell out at least $1.1 million to get his signature.

 

[philipwalsh]

Thing is, its a big risk for him if he goes, big change that could be good but he hasn't had the most stable background. Anyway he's a big boy, if he doesn't have the desire to play for us it will be devastating but see you later mate

 

[Tigaman]

Assuming Buckley is gawned after this year, next coach maybe will be Nick Maxwell so Maxwell might be more appealing to The Dustman than Buckley. Anyone have any idea how The Dustman & Bernie get on ?.

There is a precedent. Twavis Cloke re-signed at the end of the year a while back

 

[French Tiger]

If he leaves it won't be because of money. I'm pretty sure when push comes to shove we will be up around the million per year mark. After tax you aren't going to North or the Pies for 50k more a year. It will be some other factor, better team or fresh start etc

We'll need to offer 1.1 plus. Isn't he good mates with marley williams at north?

Also pretty close with Cotch and grigg.
If he leaves reckon he will go interstate.
Adelaide is my bet.

 

[zgod]

Haha just heard on radio that chocco says there is zero chance that he will join Adelaide!

I don't see any risk whatsoever if he leaves. $1mill+ for the next few years sets you up for life. I think his 'background' is over-emphasised a lot. Most who know him appear to always say he's a very nice and quiet bloke.

 

[zippadeee]

Richmond has stated there isnt enough cap space for a player on more then a million a season.
Because we are full of A grade talent...
