Dustin Martin

[Willo]

Yes. A few PREnders reckon he's not worth a cold pie. Dimma seems to disagree.

*smile* Dimma what would he know? I’d back my very knowledgeable brethren on PRE over Hoochie

My biggest fear is he goes to GC and starts playing good footy again.
Start asking questions if we lost the plot in conditioning our players.

 

[tigers80]

Can’t believe I’m saying this but I’ll be glad when the circus is over to be honest. Dusty this and Dusty that. Is he playing this week? Is he playing the rest of the year? Where’s he playing next year?

He’s the goat and I love him, but ffs, just over hearing about this crap, and he's playing like crap as well. just be done with it

Agree.

The Merkin is a backgrounder.
But i honestly think Dustin is cooked anyway.
Let him go.
No individual is bigger than the club.
Send him off with the best regards.

Can't see any compo to Tigers if Dusty goes to GC. I don't think it would be a money factor for Dusty and I don't think GC would pay overs. GC have a young, inexperienced side still and if they're targeting some of the longer term prospects they've been touting in the media they won't be expending too much of the cap on Dusty.

 

[yo_eddy]

I wonder if we are offering another year or two to Dusty?

I thought we had tabled an offer a few weeks ago?

The AFL will find a way to make us give something else to GC in the deal.

 

[Jumping Jack Dyer]

Pretty certain there is no compo pick at all.

Dusty is an unrestricted FA

Reckon few players will play with more freedom and initiative too. Hard not to give the ball to Dusty if he calls for it

Unrestricted free agents still attract compo picks. The only difference is whether the club can match the offer or not.

 

[code yellow and black]

Pretty sure he will look after the club and club will receive a decent draft pick for him. Doubt he allows for him to leave without tigers receiving anything. Suns don’t need picks and gave away pick 7 0r 8 to cats for nothing.

If dusty goes I guarantee we won't like it a bit, dusty will still tear it up, clearly been injured all year.

Clubs can’t match UFA, only RFA.

Exactly. The lovely rumour now says offer is a 2-year deal and he won't have to travel. That doesn't sound like a high money offer deal that will give Tigers a draft pick. AFL, who basically funds the plastic club's whole operation, probably thought of the idea, they're so desperate to make the dead QLD expansion plan work.

 

[tigerlove]

Clubs can’t match UFA, only RFA.

Yep that's why the RFAs attract much higher offers and return good compo picks, UFAs do not. I listed previously, only one UFA in history has induced a 1st round draft pick back to the original club.

The way Dogwick has behaved since going there he’ll probably be advising Dusty to screw us.

Has nothing to do with Hardwick anyway. He doesn't decide what compo AFL's secret herbs and spices calculations comes up with.

I think he currently tells the AFL how he wants to be treated, and they go ‘Righto Mr Hardwick, sir. We’ll make that happen for you.’
