2.1m more over the length of the contract if the north and RFC bid rumours are to be believed. Nothing to sneeze at.

what are the chances of having 2 brownlow medalists, a 2 time Coleman medalist and one of the best defenders of the century all in one team again?. Our window is now, while we have the Fab Four!
Well best win one this year then ;D

So instead of 7 houses he can have 9.

You can't just cold-call someone like Rockliff during trade week and expect him to seriously entertain your offer. It takes many months of work to get that kind of deal over the line.

Yet another example of how Carr is screwing the RFC over with this Martin deal. If he goes we lose arguably the best player in the league for a lousy end of first round pick and no serious chance to replace him with a decent player for 12 months.

Stay and it will probably be for way overs on a ridiculous length contract which prevent the club from bringing in any additional talent and mabe even causing others to walk for better deals elsewhere.

go back and listen to dustys speech at the JD 2013, his words were the GWS thing was dustys idea not Carr or his old man,whilst I agree we are been put through the wringer the player suggests then the manager facilitates.

Complete BS. Dusty was told to say that by the Merkin to protect himself

Or a Bugatti Veyron

But when clubs show no loyalty these days, why should the players ?

Who is Tiger71? listen from 17:00min mark on wards

Warning: language in clip, but interesting cast.

The whole podcast is worth listening to. Mentions we are right into getting Lynch from GC this trade period. Also said Dusty hates the Roos and wouldn't go to the Saints because of some comments made about him. Loved this podcast and hope this guy is on the money about not only Dusty but Lynch also!
 
Yes says Dusty has a very good memory and does not forget any bad things said about him. Certain clubs have burnt their bridges and St Kilda is one of them. Does not like traveling at all and hates Tasmanias weather!!! Confirmed also that Dusty has a lot of close friends at the Tigers (as you'd expect) and is loyal to a fault.
 
What's been forgotten in all of this is its about bailing on a top4 club with genuine premiership ambition for a club this week going H2H for the wooden spoon,,,,, I seriously wouldn't have thought an extra 300k a year before tax is enough
 
Everyone heard about the Dusty chant at the 4 min mark of the 4th quarter? Everyone is encouraged to chant 'Duuusssttttyyyy' for a minute.

I will be chanting from the comfort of my hotel room in Sydney :)

a long time big footy poster who has really accurate inside information.

For what it's worth I know for a fact he has no inside sources, and his 'accurate inside info' is pretty much guesswork.

Well talking your self up has seemed to work so far for Donald Trump, maybe Tiger71 is following the same blueprint.
 
Dusty met with North leadership group 6 weeks ago according to Barrett. Pretty poor on his part to do this during the season. Getting over the whole saga. Regardless if he stays or not it's obvious money is more important than team success and future list management.

I wouldn't believe anything that Barrett has to say

Maybe north keep upping their offer as dusty keeps telling them to pee off........

Doubt it. He wouldn't meet with them to tell them that and if he didn't want the offers he would have signed by now rather than squeezing every cent out of the club. Puts our future list management up in the air and puts us behind the game for the upcoming trade /draft period by still not having an answer.
 
To be honest it's gotten to the point now with the money involved and the sacrifices that needs to be made over such a long period that the best result in the long term would be him to go.

why not. Looks like they missed Kelly and are now throwing drug money at him to try and change his mind
