The Merkin is looking a bit untidy.  No wonder Dusty can't look him in the eye!

As if there would be an announcement before the home season ended, heading into finals, that he's leaving  ;D

The way he took writing royalties from Tina Arena's music publishing, claiming he co-wrote the songs.

That's the mentality

The meeting this morning suggests they're weighing up whether to pull the trigger and sign now and be done or stick to the original plan and wait it out.

Negatives: he hasnt signed, contrary to speculation.

Positives: He wants to stay.

I am not convinced that such an important meeting would be held in a public place. Oh hang on, it is Ralph Carr.

Tom Browne on Ch 7's Talking Footy last night with the latest on Dusty's contract talks (spoke to Ralph Carr and our Prez Peggy O'Neal):

VIDEO: https://twitter.com/talkingfooty/status/894496561052303360

* We've upped our offer to 7 years and a million plus per season.

* Carr rang Browne last night to reinterate that he should get an answer by the H/A part of the season. Not going to derail Richmond's season.

* North are resigned to the knowledge that Dusty will be staying at Richmond.

"I'm certain he'll stay" - Caro has no doubt in her mind that Dustin Martin will be in the yellow and black next year.

Honestly how much should  money really matter if it meant playing  a sport you love in front of 50 fans vrs 50k plus every week

They were never a threat it was more the sydney clubs or a hawthorn

N0rt!  :lol

Have a look at their list, no-one deserves over $250k, they could pay Martin $3m a season and still have cap space.
