Now I am attneding the B&F please let me know if you good folk want me to pass on your own personal best wishes or a collective message from OER  ;D

I never took you as a sarcastic prick until some of the posts i have read in the past few days. Disapointing that a forum owner shows no respect for his posters and actually shows hidden contempt for them in his postings.

Why don't you just tell Dustin what YOU think and leave it at that. :cheers

New rumours saying he has signed at $1.9 million for 4 years......

Trent was a guest speaker at a breakfast this morning and was asked about Martin. Trent's answer to this question was that he was catching up with Dustin today to talk some sense into him

I hope the talk went well :pray

If true that would be very strange indeed, unless there were performance based bonuses on top of that.

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

What are you on about?

Where have I been disrespectful or shown contempt?

Ever thought for a minute I'm like a lot of people just sick of the whole saga

Just having a bit of fun now because let's be honest there is much else we can do until this is sorted one way or the other

Your clutching Redan.

No one is that stupid to risk letting him go into the PSD for nothing.

If, and i say big if, we do that well the club are finished and all should hand in their resignation

Crap, absolute crap. The club need to hold their ground period otherwise we truly are finished.

If we get nothing for this silly individual then so be it. He DOES NOT dictate to our club. We are not going to be undermined by a fool.

Pity we didn't make this stand years ago with the crap, absolute crap players we did bow down to....Martin is a star and will be a champion for years to come, a fool you say, I don't think so. The club are the fools for taking a stand against a player that is one of the best we have had and will have....they should of done it years ago and this crap wouldn't be happening.

SIGN HIM UP $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.......pay him. ;D :gotigers

We paid overs in the first place when GWS were circling.
All Vlad's fault.

nah, WAT is right. If a player is potentially good enough we should just bow to whatever demands they make. Let the players call the shots for sure. After all, that is what all the successful clubs do.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Martin and Tigers stuck in standoff

    Caroline Wilson
    The Age
    September 27, 2013


The Dustin Martin saga has taken another twist with the 22-year-old sticking with his manager Ralph Carr and refusing to engage in contract talks alone with Richmond.

The Tigers are again envisaging a future without the troubled but talented young star, with Martin awaiting the arrival of his father, Shane, in Melbourne on Monday before making his next move.

And Carr has lashed out at his critics, telling The Age: ''I stand by everything I have said and I stand by the way I have represented this kid. My business has been sullied and my reputation has been damaged. I care about Dustin. He's a terrific kid and I've been misrepresented. I'm not an advocate for players changing clubs and I've always hoped that Dustin would stay at Richmond. He wears Royce Hart's number for heaven's sake. I've told Dustin that, just as I told Travis Cloke that last year. Richmond knows our position and there needs to be some dialogue.''

The Tigers continue to maintain that Martin is a required player but stand to lose him to the draft should a deal not be achieved.

Martin is understood to have instructed Richmond this week to deal with Carr after the player failed to attend a meeting with football boss Daniel Richardson and his offsider, Blair Hartley, at Punt Road on Monday.

Carr has indicated his frustration that club CEO Brendon Gale has not responded to his calls in the past and claimed Martin has been disappointed in Richmond's criticism of his management style.

Richmond and Carr have not been in contact this week, leaving the prospect of no deal being reached before Monday's Jack Dyer Medal count, in which Martin will poll well.

The expectation had been that Martin, after meeting coach Damien Hardwick late last week and previously being rejected by Greater Western Sydney, would return to the club and reach an agreement this week. But the Martin camp has continued to baulk at the Tigers' two-year offer of close to $1 million - an offer that could now prove heavily conditional, with performance and behavioural clauses.

Carr had indicated previously he had been obeying instructions in taking Martin to tour the Giants' facilities in Sydney's inner west, claiming the player had shown interest in living closer to his father and away from Melbourne's fishbowl football environment. He has also accused Richmond of suggesting Martin change managers.

No club has as yet made an offer to Martin, although his management has previously maintained he would achieve close to $600,000 annually should he place himself in the draft. ''They know our position,'' said Carr of the Tigers, adding he had no issue with Martin's behaviour on Brownlow night. ''I care about Dustin,'' said Carr. ''I thought it was fair enough after a long season that he had a drink.''
