No, you mistake anger for irony, having a dig at some on PRE. Most of us surely value our commitment to the club far beyond one key, currently contracted employee. Forest for a tree!
I'm quietly confident Dusty IS more mature and realistic these days. After his ludicrous flirtation with that GWS visit before his 2nd last deal, encouraged by that flog, his following contract negotiations were a non-event. There's evidence he's learnt there.
Other clubs would be silly not to go hard for him as a free agent.
Will be interesting to see if his contract talks get delayed till the post-season.
Just hoping we don't get stooged with compensation picks if he signs elsewhere.
Perhaps the compensation would be adequate to cover the acquisition of Fyfe?
Could we afford both?

Punt Road End. The best place to watch The Tiges.
Hopefully signs again for less than what he could obtain on the open market, leaving us with more than enough cap space to sign Fyfe as a free agent.
Keeping Martin, signing Fyfe, and using 2 x first round draft picks at seasons end will have us in a terrific situation where our list is concerned.
Just need to shore up another ruckman to cap it all off.
Probably dreaming but keeping Martin and signing Fyfe is achievable - we have cap space.
Fyfe was a Tiger supporter as a kid btw.

Another Board direct appointment announced by Peggie?
What about the members vote....oh wait
Peggy said "Dusty is happy at Punt Road " !!. Her words not Dusty's. Actually everything is happy at Punt Road at the moment is it not ?. For how long I do suppose we shall have to wait until the whips start cracking end of March. Until then be HAPPY.
Really really a long shot to sign Fyfe and almost impossible if Dusty stays imo - But doable only if we shed some dead weight
Hampson,Hunt,Grigg,Morris & Lennon will all need to be cleared and replaced with draftee's saving $1 million

Dusty isn't going anywhere else but Tigerland.
The rest of the footy clubs, and the AFL, know what he is, having rejecting his sales pitch a few years ago.
Richmond should knuckle down and offer him a low contract and not be blackmailed, or sucked in, to pay him overs, like what happened a couple years ago.

His last contract extension went without a hitch. He's since been 2nd & 1st in the b&f, 7th and 3rd in the Brownlow. Why would we lowball him?
