I cant see us being forced to trade. surely he will only leave for $$$, so if match any offer he would have no reason to leave.

Tend to agree. The only thing that would change that IMO is if the wheels completely fell off our season and Dusty was of the opinion that he would have a better chance of attaining success (along with big $) elsewhere.

Was seen coming off the ground pointing to his back??

Reported on Ch 7.

Anyone at training today ? How did he look in the drills?

Going by the Hun, decision is still pending on if he plays or not. We really need him in this game.

I were at training today but you can hardly call it that, (it's just a public relations meet and greet for the fans), they started training at 10:40 but were signing autographs by 11:15. If you pushed me to say who was doing the least it would be Prestia, Caddy & Dusty. But i repeat this was just a beauty parade. Was the HS article referring to the main training session yesterday in it's reference to Martin?
 
Are we playing funny buggers again? This reeks of Balme. I'll be interested to see how it pans out from that POV.
 
if you look at the vision on AFL.cum, its the most subtle 'clutching of the back' ive ever seen.

looks more like a gentle scratch than a clutch.

I think theres some gentle scratching at straws for media content.
 
Thanks guys.

Let's hope so Easy that it's the Hun looking for any Dusty media news.

If he is an out , my tip changes to the Swans. That's how important he is to our team at the moment.

Back, Sack and Crack ?

I agree. I reckon he stays. I would think only something drastic would force him to leave. \

If he did leave though, they can start with their 1st, Jones and Reid. They'll think its overs, but he's one of the best 5 players in the comp and if they want him, they will have to pay.
 
If he was planning to leave there would be a lot more talk in the media about it and possible suitors.
 
Been thinking that carr knows how to maximise attention and dollars.
Reckon it's a done deal at tigers but to maximise exposure in media which in turn leads to umpires noticing him more and him snagging a brownlow.
Price goes through the roof and the endorsement flow.
 
Don't know if it's just that I am noticing it more but it seems like Dusty is lifting his media profile. He seems to be getting interviewed more and doing more on the website that I have noticed in years past.

Phew! If I was the Swans I'd jump at that deal. Two 1/3 good sometimes players and an unproven kid!
