Are you serious? You really think clubs are willing to offer more for a player because he wins a freakin brownlow, as if that makes a difference?

Give me a spell, there is a lot of sh!te in this thread.

Cough, woewodin, cooney, cough cough

That's what was advised to me. The way he explained it is a Brownlow medalist would increase membership &/or merchandise and memorabilia and therefore the club should pay the player more.

Um, yes. it's common for there to be contract incentives (ie they pay more) for a player to win a Brownlow.

 

[Al Bundy]

He can take all time in the world.

He is once in a generation player.

x2

The club will do its due diligence. They have struggled with this agent before and hopefully sort it out after the season.
I don't get the constant media hype or frenzy to want anyone resigned before their current contract is up. Media soap opera
Ralphy always said see u at the end of the year

I am confident he will stay. If he doesn't, wish Dusty well. He only gets one chance to make a max living out of it.

When Franklin left HFC, they were able to adjust, I think we can too if he goes

That would only apply for Richmond.

If he does win the Brownlow we will benefit from any memorabilia sold not any other club.

 

[AngryAnt]

You don't get any more space in the salary cap just because you have a Brownlow medallist in the squad.

It's a good point. I doubt that Dusty will have much going for him employment-wise post-footy. He needs to maximise his earnings now. Not that we should break the bank for him either.

He's already set. Not looking at what he's already earnt, there's $6mill on the table. That's multiple times what most will make in a lifetime. Should be no need to squabble over money. Dusty needs to decide whether he wants to fight risking head and skin as a one club player or go chasing the softer option. I'd be disappointed from here if he goes chasing. But it is what it is, the club is always greater than the individual.

RISKING HEAD AND SHIN

RISKING HEAD AND SHIN

Seen and heard both versions used MANY TIMES.

 

[Baloo]

Shin. It's shin. Skin is wrong.

A bit like "Richmond Tigers". We're Richmond Football Club or The Tigers.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Media is heating up now, most of it will be made up I.e GWS , hopefully it doesn't effect Dusty or the team.

Personally think 6 mil 6 years is fair , considering his probably at peak now and years 4,5,6 he'll probably be on the decline

 

[Tigers of Old]

Have to back Dan Richardson in here.

He has the score on the board with regard to comtract negotiations

Good call. Seems to have done very well in this area so far.

 

[Giardiasis]

Yep, so it adds nothing to his negotiating position. The most he can ask for is whatever another club is willing to pay minus the costs of moving.

Jon ralph was saying on sen that we should pay what ever it takes so important this deal if we still have space in cap after hopefully hanging on to Dusty we maybe be able to get another A grader . Dusty going to swans looks possible but the only reason can see that happening is closer to Dad and NZ. Just get it done RFC Dusty wants to stay stop dragging it out.

It's also yellow and black, not black and yellow.

 

[Baloo]

Yeah, but AC/DC didn't sing Back in Yellow

 

[CarnTheTiges]

TWO Brownlow medallists if Dusty wins.

 

[Harry]

Yeah, but AC/DC didn't sing Back in Yellow

Fair call

 

[Baloo]

TWO Brownlow medallists if Dusty wins.

Awarded in the same year !

Dusty would move to Sydney because it cuts 30 mins off the flight time to NZ? Um......

 

[French Tiger]

Isn't it his manager wanting to drag it out ?
