Early bird rival clubs on the hunt for Dustin Martin ... (Herald-Sun)

[WilliamPowell]

the answer is (was) to give him more money then ffs

oh wait the yarren/grigg/hampson/chaplin fund needs to be looked after too/

more stable to not have all the eggs in one basket, circus

Would have still asked for 2 years.....

So you double the offer and make him sign six years ...

I know in your world the answer to everything is throw more money around, but it's not always the way it works.

He was only ever going to sign for 2 years, i cant stand his manager but it was a very smart move. He is going to earn  alot more with this next contact than if had signed along term deal last time.

And BTW he deserves every cent,

what part of he wouldnt sign for longer than 2 years dont you get?

[Chuck17]

You think they could have got three years if they tried a little bit

[Simonator]

Do we think he will stay ? Would you wanna stay ??

[potsclub]

I think he stays. Club has done a lot for him over the few years and now it's his turn to repay! Will get his signature I believe

[Stalin]

   -  No, but that was not the clubs fault. Dusty's manager wanted 2 years to maximise his value when he becomes a FA.

   -   No need to worry about this non story.


You blokes don't find these two theories at all contradictory ?

It's not about the money

It's a very smart move cause he will get more money

Ok then

You really struggle to understand don't you? Is that because you actually don't get it or because it just doesnt suit your purpose

I'll make it really easy for you

What Martin did last time is exactly the same thing Cotchin did with his contract leading up to FA.

Cotchin signed a 2 year deal to strengthen his position leading up to being a FA, club offered him 4 years he turned it down. and then guess what happened? before becoming said FA he signed the 5 year deal he is currently on. For a lot more $$$ because he had strengthened his market position

So you see it happens all the time, a lot of players do it

You might not like it, might not get it but it is the way it works

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”

[Yeahright]

He is loyal like his old man..wont be leaving...

Not sure that comparison really works
