Only a week or so ago said he saw him signing soon. Bit all over the shop Chocco
Chocco was saying he's aware of big contract offers, I think he was meaning we are a bit off what others are offering, others may have taken it differently.jb03 said:
Won't be comfortable till his signed JB
I thought Dusty had made his mind up ages ago, however now I'm just not convinced he has.French Tiger said:
*smile* frustrating for the supporter , however it's Dustys call
Interesting , Chocco has copped a lot of flak since getting the chop, not sure how much is true.btoz_01 said:
As an older mentor to both of these guys, you would like to think that he advises them in their best interest, not in the best interest of a footy club. Any footy club, Richmond included.
This will just play out in the way that it should. Our anxiety is not really part of the equation.

The story goes there are about a million reasons for him to leave and hence the indecision. He wants to stay, his old man just wants him to take the highest offer, most other people in his life are advising him to stay and who would know what Carr is advising him. That's a lot of dough for a guy who's not going to earn much money in his own right once his career is over.jb03 said:
He may not be a business man BT, but his profile may help his clothing lines get a big kick start and turn into a boom. I think Craig Ellis is now a multi millionaire thanks to bathers or the likeBig Tiger said:

Yeah, but a $1.2m problem in 7 years time is probably a $600k problem in today's money - not based on CPI of course, but based on salary cap increases and the likelihood that future income could be paid ahead of time (e.g. if we have 300k of capacity in our cap, we could prepay future years).
If we don't keep him, we can pretty much give up on landing a premiership in the next few years, we don't have enough top end talent and if we can't keep it, we won't be able to buy it in.

Danger only went to Geelong for fair compensation because he wanted to live near his family at Moggs Cr. It wasn't altruism - not was about personal gain - only non-financial gain. He also has significantly more post career prospects than Dusty, meaning that he won't be as dependent on his earnings from footy for the rest of his life as what Dusty will probably be.
Dusty will be relying on investing wisely with his earnings. Sure, he'll make some money along the way, but his natural earning capacity is likely to be lower than Dangerfield - which is more a comment about Danger's earning capacity than Dusty's.
If there are two clubs both offering 7 years, one at 1.3m and one at 1.2m, that's an additional 350k earnings after tax over the 7 years. Information I have is that the offers from the other clubs are substantially more than what Richmond is offering, so it could possibly be an additional $500k-700k after tax earnings ... he needs to consider these other offers, and compare them against the lifelong friendships he has formed, which will continue to strengthen, at Tigerland.
