Also really messes with our plans going fwd.
Happy to chase two guns for 1.5m

I hope / assume that the club is looking at all scenarios, and has it's courses of action planned should Martin leave.
 
How would one front the media and say they have left a young team in the top 4 fifor r a team like north because of their list?
 
So much for the body language of Dimma a few weeks back. I'm swinging all over the place in this one. Stay because your the best player, Richo aside, over the last 40 years at pubtbroad.

Go, we get 3 kids in the top 20 at this years draft and plenty of cash to go for another player, not to mentioned having the capacity to pay Bolton, Graham, Rioli etc from 2019 onwards.

We all want to hear - love the tigers, love my mates- love the success we are about to have - love to the support you have shown me (chopsticks) - looks the $1.2m deal
 
All along they said wait till end of season. Nothing has changed. By waiting it has driven up his price. Doesn't mean he is leaving just means he now know what he is worth. If he was leaving do u think he would be going to NZ and go dad I am leaving cause I want the highest dollars! I think he want to stay and talk to his dad about the reasons why. Nothing has changed from what was said. Carr re enforced this a few weeks ago. I know we all say holding out but I think it's a big call for him and he wants to speak to his dad face to face. That's the only chance he has before season has finished.
 
It was great to see Martin using the ball quickly over the past couple of weeks. Through the line and rip it by hand to the runners. Tears the game open. And once he'd made some space he was able to resume his position as the best kick in the AFL.

Glamour.
 
Apparently dusty left his sunglasses on the plane

It is not his decision whether he goes or stays.
I personally think he will stay but seeing as kangas will finish last and get 1st pick in the PSD makes me nervous
 
Can we afford to keep him and keep the rest of the team happy. If there is animosity between others and him, I wonder whether it wouldn't be better for the team if he just left. North will have one star player and a whole lot of disgruntled team mates. Can't see him dragging north off the bottom. How did the gablett experiment go? No we should be intent on team harmony and balance. It will be sad but we must cut the cord.
 
Martin will win the Brownlow, his speech will be interesting, play finals for the Tigers, then re sign with RFC for 7 years.
Nothing surer.
 
I've been confident all year he is staying ,

For the first time , I'm not feeling so confident now ,

But if I had to make a call and pick it, I'm still sticking with staying.

Would be staggered if he burnt us by walking into the psd after everything the club has done for him.
 
I reckon he's gone.

And unlike others, if this is indeed the case, I wish him no good luck at all.
 
My kangas supporting Mrs said we'll have him, My reply was your club will be the worse for it. 1 player getting 2 or 3 times more than his best paid team mates is a recipe for club disharmony. Imagine how Ziebell etc would feel if that's the case.

It's not always about the $.
 
Why would he walk to the PSD. Cause I am so desperate that my offer has been match but I want to play in Tasmania and be part of a rebuild so when I am at the end of my career they may have some chance. Makes no sense.

Reckon many will swing this way too if he ends up Kangas and it is clear he went for the money
