The guy has zero finals wins to his name. Don't blame him for moving for at least one final win

He hasn't been without opportunity of winning one. Was he outstanding in any of his previous finals?
Like snake said, I think he'd want to atone.

Over how many years?

Apparently Dustin 1.3m over 6years.

This is apparently 300k more than us.

Kelly's over 9 years.

Article in the Hun.

Personally know one would have a idea of what's on offer...it's all guess work from reporters.

Compared to our midget getting $750K pa Dusty was worth $1Million before the players got their increase of 20%.
So an offer to Dusty by us should be around the $1.2Million mark

Stupid article, if one club can afford to play both Kelly and Dusty that much, then another club can afford to play one or the other more. Simple maths.

Personally who knows, what we are offering Martin.
Unless any one of us is involved in on the negotiations it's all speculation and hyperbole from reporters.
If he wants to play for a team on the up then would think North Tassie wouldn't be in calculations at this stage.
If it's money then I would imagine we would match any bid and make them come to the table.
 
I don't mind him holding off if it keeps him hungry and performing at his maximum output.

Can we sign him on 1 year deals every year? ;D
 
Enough people would know. Dusty, Carr, people in Carr's office, North people.
 
He would be utterly batshit crazy to go to north.
Terrible list, looking at a 5 year rebuild, coaching situation unstable and leaving the highest attended club in the comp who have a young list and are sniffing a flag to 15 ro 20k at ethiad.
Im actually super confient he will stay now.
 
Firstly, there is no way he is going to North - no way!!
My gut feel is that he signs with us. I've been observing a lot of his body language during the match and post match and I simply can't see him leaving. Dusty has a support network at the club. They've tought him life lessons and skills.
One of his closest friends at the club is Cotch. He's not going to leave his mate. Watch the incident where Cotch gets into a wrestling scuffle with Jack Viney in the ANZAC Eve match and you see Dusty sprinting to help out Cotch.
He's too invested with some of the players and Dimma. He'll get his million plus contract with us either way, and he'll be the highest paid player in the history of the club.
Go to North? Forget about it.

yes sure is, so if they dont get anyone they will be overpaying lots of spuds or be in breach of the SC rules, i.e. paying 95% at least

all *smile* guess work
 
what on earth will be have to speculate in 2018??!! ::)

23 episodes of the Martin Move coming to a close. Hopefully some extra September episodes are scheduled too.
