Coming up on Ch 7 exclusive announcement about a "top" player re-signing
-
Locked away Sheds for 5? :clapping
-
By the way, heard that too then jumped on here to find who it was and no one has said anything. Dropping the ball guys >:(
-
It's Dusty Martin 2 more years
No wonder he looked so happy at the team photo day today ;D
-
Big Duzza :bow
-
Told you all Rance is gone.
"He'll sign" they said. "it's only speculation" they said.
Stuffing brainwashed
-
Strange I'm sure I read some on here saying he was goneskis
dusty will be Tiger for life ;D

Would be great to know the details on years and the ballpark of the cost. This one seems to have gone smooth but always dreading Dusty and his management going into FA. Dad will be stoked though, got him a massive framed signed Martin print for Christmas and would have to be our favourite Tiger :cheers
-
Good news. :thumbsup
One to go.

Stevens on Ch7 said 2 more years - end of 2017. Speculated the $ around $550k-$600k a season
-
Any chance we can parcel up Rance before the first bounce,then we can attack the season with no players with issues messing with their head.
We could also then target that elusive big name player safe in the knowledge we can throw the kitchen sink at him
-
From Mark Stevens Twitter
@Stevo7AFL: Martin, consevertively, will earn 600 plus a year .. Rance next
-

Good point Smokey and I hope it didn't get lost in all excitement of the re-signing. I and countless others were led to believe he was gone and cast our votes accordingly.
Some people need to have a good hard look at themselves over this fiasco

Well I was never convinced Dusty was gone but gee I'm not confident about Rance staying. I hope im wrong.

good news he has signed with out all the fuss of last time. but i suppose i have to be the one to rain on the parade ;D.
only a two yr contract. why? surely the club offered a longer deal. i would have thought with martin now well and truly established and 23yrs old a 4 or 5 yr deal to be appropriate.most players chase security seems martin is happy with two yr deals gotta be a reason for that.
maybe the reason is if we dont go anywhere in the next two yrs at 25 26 yrs old martin will be well placed to go where he can get some success on a big contract.
ah theres always a downside. :whistle

He would have been crazy to sign for longer. After 2 years he is a restricted FA and his value would skyrocket. It would be his manager that would have said two years max.
-
I reckon the trend now is 2 years until you get around FA then go for a 5 year option while your value is strong.

WP, given I stated some time ago that Dusty had done the deal and it would be announced when the club was looking to spike membership again only to see it appear right before the membership offers expire plus family day, I'd like to officially apply for the role as 'Official OER Mailman', a position currently held by Bojangles.

Tigers lock in Dustin Martin to new deal
Peter Ryan
afl.com.au
February 17, 2015
STAR Richmond midfielder Dustin Martin has re-signed with the Tigers in a deal that ties the 23-year-old to the club until the end of 2017.
The decision will be a relief to club officials given the difficulties Richmond had re-signing him when he was out of contract at the end of 2013.
At that time, Martin signalled his intention to field offers from other clubs, and went as far as touring Greater Western Sydney's facilities, before finally agreeing to a two-year deal with the Tigers.
Richmond's general manager of football Dan Richardson told richmondfc.com.au Martin was a pivotal player in the Tigers' plans for the future.
"Dustins development, both on and off the field, has been extremely impressive, and its exciting to think that at just 23, he still has scope for significant further improvement.
"Following a strong pre-season, we look forward to seeing him take another key step in his league career in 2015."
Martin, who is regarded as one of the game's best young midfielder/forwards, said he was rapt to get the deal done.
He was pleased negotiations had happened without publicity and he could play football for the next three years without having to think about his future.
"The club's been massive for me. They have obviously been a massive part of my life since I was 18. They have taught me a lot about life and a lot about footy as well," Martin said.
"We're all in this together so we certainly want to stay together and finish it off."
He has been placed in the top three in the Tigers' best and fairest in three of the past four seasons and showed his brilliance in one-on-one contests inside 50 throughout 2014.
His signature means attention will turn to defender Alex Rance who becomes a free agent at the end of 2015.
Rance remains unsigned and has signalled he is happy for the season to progress before he considers entering into negotiations.

* Im rapt to be honest. Glad we got it all done and dont have to worry about it now for another few year. I couldnt be happier. It was something 'Ralphy' (Ralph Carr) my manager and the Club did well. They kept it quiet and got it done, so it was really good on both ends.

Resuming serious transmission, he has signed for a further 2 years on top of this season so in effect he is with us for another 3 years. Would suit both parties I reckon.

I think he means what if Rance is holding out because he wants 5 years and we're only offering 2 or 3 years...whereas Martin was happy to commit to only 2 years.

Pretty much. More rubbish defending Rance.
I reckon half of em will follow him across and barrack for Freo if and when he goes

The guy is just trying to get the best deal for himself.
FMD, what is so wrong with that? Hopefully we can give him what he wants. Of not, we will get a first round pick. That's reality. We better get used to it.

FMD, what is so wrong with that?
For me the club is bigger than the player.
It's a little more than simply wanting the best for himself (which is ok to a point), it's dragging the club through negative PR and uncertainty at the 23rd hour. It also potentially jeopardizes how we will be able to recruit a really good gun and what we will (dangerfield etc).
Actually the more i think about it, if he doesn't want to sign then gtfo

Benny was too short for AFL KPFs. Lots of heart, not enough height.

Benny was too short for AFL KPFs. Lots of heart, not enough height.
Did everything that was asked of him and more- was rarely ever beaten for two years in a crap side, yet was still considered "too short" ....so really the questions have to be asked - why draft him in the first place then...why not just go out and draft a 195+ KPD to start with instead of putting unrealistic expectaions on a 190cm kid who it now seems was always going to be considered too short no matter how well he did? Why waste his and the club's time for 3 years? Anyway, as someone who actually saw most of his VFL career, I disagree he couldn't have held his own in the AFL...jeez, at the very worst he would've been a better version of Kelvin Moore IMO.
-
Josh Gibson too short for us?
Darrou hard done by IMO. Not Rance's calibre though. Truth is unless he signs we won't have a proper KPD anymore. Astbury is fragile. Chaplin sucks 1 out, best as 3rd man up. Grimes missing an inch of height, a stone of KG's, also fragile. Elton - shown nothing so far.
We lose Rance we're in trouble. Saw what happened last year...

Thought he could be a Gibson type for us. Maybe not quite that good but handy enough.

Grimes is tall enough I reckon. What's the diff between him and ranch? 1 cm from memory
Elton has had one or two really interesting games where he's gone well and pinch hit (well) in the ruck, but most of his games agreed are rubbish

Grimes is listed as 193/88. But at that weight he's not going to be strong enough to compete with proper talls the same height. And he doesn't play like a tall, more like a mid. The same way Vickery doesn't really play like a tall forward by using his height.
Rance is listed as 194/96. Evidently a much stronger body and IMHO I think he plays a notch about what his height/weight suggest he is capable of. Sign of a very mentally tough and determined bloke. Not exactly words I would attribute to Grimes.
I like Grimes however. He's quick and smart. Just think he should be 3rd tall or even a mid +/- rebounding defender if he can be taught to run/carry/kick a bit better.

Fair call. I generally agree
