Would you be critical of the club if Dusty walks ??

[🏅Dooks]

If he walks he might live to regret it.


FFS how much money do you need.


As for the club, I would be more peeed off if they matched the $1.5 million a year.


 

This.

Anything more than 1.2 or thereabouts is overs.

[Francois Jackson]

Simply put, if he goes then he has no desire for team success, the successful clubs have players that make sacrifices for team success.

If he only wants the money then fair enough i say, thanks for your service and enjoy being miserable for the next 7 years, even with your extra money

Only need look at the example of G Ablett to know that money isn't everything.  If he had his time over again their is no way he would leave.

He won 2 flags, Brownlow and everything else at the cats

Any one of us would have done the same. If he has his time over again I'm sure he would do it again.

Martin is a different ball game, considering the history of he and the club. Not to mention the gypsy club in question here.

[The Machine]

Not at all. Love him but Love Richmond more and i want team success so paying way too much for a single player hurts our chances.

Yeah im sure he would
Bloke has been miserable for years
Now hes packing up like a sook to come home

Not at all

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

Think Dusty might find out how much Richmond supporters really love him - and how much they actually love the club he's about to walk out of.

For his sake, not for mine or any other supporter, I hope he stays.

[Slipper]

No

But I will not be happy with the AFL and the 'compensation' we receive.

And not because I think it is inadequate. I just don't get why you have free agency, then offer compensation under that model.

If the AFL really feel there needs to be compensation, then.....

For a restricted free agent, the club signing him should pay the compensation. But not directly to the other club. I am more in favour of them paying a penalty that means everyone else benefits, for example, losing draft picks.

For an unrestricted free agent, no compensation or anything else. Straight forward deal.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

He's unlikely to leave

Agreed.

I don't think it will sit well with him that it will be all about money.....

Not to mention the pressure of being the only good player at a minnow club. Ablett syndrome. I'm
not worried at all - kid will make the right call

If you believe all the media mail hes about 35% chance of staying 65% chance of leaving.

Not sure if the mail is correct, but its hard to ignore the longer it drags on.

On the balance of things, i think he'll probably go but id rather him go than pay him 1.5mill.

[tony_montana]

Nope, club has handled this extremely well

Never going to be announced before next week so I'm not jumping at shadows yet
