im sure the announcement isnt faraway.

Announce the glamour re-signings and then do the dirty work of telling those no longer required.

Announce the glamour re-signings and then do the dirty work of telling those no longer required.

We don't have to announce the delistings until Oct 31. While those on the chop would know their time is up you wouldn't announce it publicly before trade week.

im sure the announcement isnt faraway.

I've heard it'll be till 2014. A further 3 years on top of his existing 2-year contract. No idea of dollars though except you'd expect it to be far far more than the standard draftee contract he's on now. It wouldn't surprise me if we forward load the new deal with the salary cap room we have so we can keep this young group together long-term.

Gary March said there'd be good news in a couple of weeks regarding re-signings. Mark Robinson said Martin's re-signing will be announced this week (Robbo writing an article about it).

Mark Robinson believes Dusty will be $350k-400k.

I only heard it in the background but Craig Cameron said something about 5 year contracts isn't something we'd look at.

BOOM Richmond youngster Dustin Martin is poised to ignore interstate overtures and sign a contract extension with the Tigers.

The Tigers began negotiations with player manager Ricky Nixon earlier this year after Martin, having impressed in his opening six matches, emerged as a target of the Gold Coast Suns and Greater Western Sydney.

Martin, the No. 3 pick in last year's national draft, is contracted until the end of 2011 on a base salary of $57,300, plus match payments of $2800.

Tigers president Gary March yesterday suggested a new deal could be announced as early as this week.

''There will be some good news in the next couple of weeks about our re-signings,'' he said.

Martin said mid-year he wanted to remain a Tiger. The new deal could reap the 19-year-old more than $300,000 per season.

Matty Lloyd's thoughts on Martin.....

I have sung Dustin Martin's praises all year and as the Tigers become a force in coming years, I see Martin having the influence of a Luke Hodge. Martin - ineligible to win the Rising Star - is beautifully skilled, but uncompromising in his attack on the ball and the man, and I can see him making big plays in big games when his team needs someone to stand tall.

Good result.

There is less pressure on the young man IMHO not winning this or the Rising Star.

I would like to see Dustin do some media training in the foreseable future, he is going to need it.

He could attend with Dane Swan - not exactly God's answer to public speaking after watching him last night!
