WP any comments?

You have been dead right on all of our players

Dusty will sign yeah?

Surely when we dump mcguane and nahas we will surely have enough in the cap

If we lose Dusty hopefully the club come out and explain his there was no money left after signing Grigg, Mcguane and Nahas on descent size contracts

Firstly, I have always said I believe Dusty & Jack will re-sign. Nothing has happened for me to change that view.

Lot of posturing going on IMHO.

Will say I am not a fan of Ralph Carr, relatively new as a player manager and Dusty would be in his top 5 clients behind Cloke at 1. Reckon he is trying to make a name for himself again like he did with Cloke. I really do question what sort of advice he is giving his young client in this case.  Other thing is we don't know what other people (eg his family) are advising him as well.
 
Second, this isn't about whether we have room in the cap, it is in part as Caro rightfully points out about us not paying "overs". Players can not and should not hold the club to ransom anymore

I reckon Caro is spot on in her opinion here, RFC has been very good to Dusty and it should IMV play a part in his decision but unfortunately I doubt player managers see it or advise it that way

'Martin is now being managed by Ralph Carr, the former Carlton director'

That makes me feel very uneasy. Keep Carlton filth away from our lads I say.

Great article by Caro. Right on the money 

Hope he stays but the sky won't fall if he doesn't

Dan Richardson is no mug at the negotiation table, has Ralph Carr & Liam Pindick covered

He won't pay overs and he won't let them walk

Exactly Mr Gerkin

I'm not convinced he'll go, but just thinking out scenarios. Provided GWS don't bend us over (assuming that would be Martin's destination) and just scoop him off the top of the PSD, what happens to Patton with Cameron's form, if they get Buddy and choose not to pass Tom Boyd (Robbo said once on 360 that he was told that pick 1 isn't necessarily up for grabs unless someone is offering an absolute superstar)? Presuming Jack stays would anyone entertain Dusty for Pinhead? Not only do we get a massive forward line upgrade we still get to use our first pick on a midfielder (albeit around  pick 11-13). I'd say chuck that pick at Adams too but I'm not sure they want any more green teenagers unless we could group that with a senior fringe player (e.g Nahas) who they could use and also we get some cap room back.

Hasn't come on yet. Still waiting

My mail s he's Gonski.......posturing has started between both Sydney and GWS. I have been told it wont worry him wich cklub he gets to as long as its in Sydney. personaly i cant see Sydney having anything to offer but the skybis the limit with GWS,Is he worth pick 1?

[dwaino]

Surely Sydney must be out of money after the Tippett crap?

If it were to GWS and we are going to lose him regardless, Dusty + our first for pick 1? Don't think Martin alone could get pick 1. They can get Buddy via FA and if we play too hard they'll have have first pick in PSD anyway.

[Yeahright]

After all the effort put into him I'd hate to see him go. Could he be holding a grudge against Richmond though? In our eyes they helped him but he could see it a totally different way

[Judge Roughneck]

anyone is better than Liam Pindick

shady mudaducker.
