Dusty needs to wake up too. We took him back when he wanted to walk.
Just don't want him to screw the club. He isn't worth more then a million.

Hes manager is a dill..

IMO Dusty will sign on long term, which is possibly still a risk IMO, however id like to see it from both sides.. Think he will agree for 850-900 for 4-5, before round 6..
 
This doesn't surprise me. Great trade.

Only thing that is unique is ruling him our of round one. RFC wouldn't rule him out until round 4!
 
Bernie latest quote says Dusty's manager Ralph Carr & RFC are in negotiations over extending his RFC contract. What Bernie did not say that Carr was also negotiating with other clubs throwing buckets of money & incentives towards Dusty for his services. Dees have offered him King of Moomba 2018 but Swannies upped the ante with a King of Sydney honour plus lead role in the Gay Mardi Gras parade 2018 .

I reckon Dusty will get a lot of frees if we play him more forward this year. Opponents tend to panic when against him one on one.

Finally back on track with this thread.

Yeah I agree. Twice today the opposition panicked as they were often more worried about out bodying Martin than getting the ball.

Yep, thought this too. Along with quicker ball movement, we should be getting more shots at goal this season.

That was how he got the shot on 'Fat Thighs' Wines. FT was more interested in wrestling with Dusty (mind you I think Dusty out strengthed him anyway), so when Dusty couldn't take the grab, he said he was being held and the umpire gave him the ball.

I get the feeling he may be leaving

Im not sure CC.. Can you tell me more about the PA wanting % $$ sharing from AFL, this is supposed to be close to agreement and when the Salary cap will be adjusted??

if the cap is to be adjusted i would think A grade elite would want to hold off until this is known to ensure they don't under sell themselves... just MO

Excellent point, Tt.

FWIW I won't mind if we have four first round selections in the 2017 draft.

I'm on this side of the fence too. Can't be great for the club when one of your star players storms out of a press conference after getting asked a simple question in regards to his future ( no I haven't seen the footage or the question asked ) . I think there is a melbourne based club who have there nails deep into dusty atm.

I'm basing my guess on comments from Balmey, Rance and Vlaustin TT , I have no real idea though just a guess

Likewise CC, and it was a genuine question to anyone that understands how these two connect, PA neg $$$ % of Revenue and the upcoming Cap increase, would that exclude money earnt from $$ % and how would that be distributed among the 800 odd players?
