Matt Thompson just wrote an article on AFL website saying that Dusty's stats at Etihad r better than at the G, so North fans should be 'salivating'.
Now I've heard / seen it all. Unbelievable!
Can Gillon follow through with the threats to take media accreditations away ?!

Hard surface - groins will be shot 1 1/2 into his deal on that concrete slab of a surface.

Hahaha...quality journalism.
 
North lost 12% of their member this year. Their irrelevancy is quickly placing them in a precarious position.

As a membership drive headline act, Dusty is pretty compelling. The money they pay overs for him, is probably the best money they could spend.

The AFL would be happy because they have their own sanctioned irrelevancies to contend with, and the less money they have to give North, the more money that can be given to the franchises.

With the extra money, North could possibly afford a wheelchair for that one legged supporter.
 
If I was a North fan, I would be furious.
They are going to finish last - there is absolutely no doubt about that.
Playing Brisbane away in a loser-take-all clash for the wooden spoon.
They will want to finish last to increase their bargaining power for Martin.

Should be re-building, hitting the draft, investing in youth. Not paying 1.5 million a year for one player, no matter how good he is.

I agree. Imagine how they'll feel if they end up paying a 33yo $1.5m

Tigers will move forward with his pick compo snd the other good picks we have , so over this crap .

Sounds like you've had a gutfull
 
All year I have been expecting him to stay. I actually expected it to be announced before seasons end because these things usually are.

I am now over it and annoyed at the situation. There are others involved, other players waiting to be signed. This is bordering on disrespecting the club that has supported him from day 1.

Just stay or go, make up your mind and let the club get on with it. It's not all about you Dusty

No but its all about the stuffen Merkin unfortunately
 
If Dusty goes to the Kangas then he will never taste success with them because they have finally well and truly bottomed out.

But is Scott going to the Gold Coast and is that where Dusty is looking at going?

I dont think it would bode well for Dusty on the Gold COast there he would be surrounded by every bad distraction you could think of and he would be courted left right and centre.

The Kangas will just be doing well to hang onto some of their own who see the hard times ahead.

I agree the Merkin is pushing this envelope as far as he can, its all about the commission baby.

Then when he makes a mozza on Dusty he will advertise to all players he is the man to get you the Big Bucks and thus increase his stable.

Will we be playing fun and games next year with this wanker over Shai.
