From what I witnessed this year , they can have him . He was a shell of his former self .

We will have a bunch of new kids to get behind soon .

Surely we deserve compo since technically if he's not retired anymore he should be an UFA and we should be eligible for compo

certainly not surprised that dimma is a idiot. I am surprised at how big he actually is.

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

Guess I’m a mug because I am a little surprised after the retirement stuff and how cooked he looked.

I'll say it again there was something not right with Dusty and the club. His conduct wasn't great this season looked unfit , travelling while injured etc now this. For me didn't look like he buyed in. Retirement was a load of bs.

I thought I heard somewhere that if a player retires, he can't come out of retirement for at least 12 months.

I will be gutted if he does go to the GC

Gutted by this news

"I love this Club more than anything" and "It means everything to me".... really Dusty?

All feel bits a hollow now with Dimma in his ear again.

Close to losing all respect for Dimma

can I add if Dusty does decide to play for the Suns there will be no trade, he is an unrestricted FA
So was it all fake?  The tears and everything?

The Suns have just signed Mac Andrews to a huge contract.  How can they then afford Rioli and Dusty?

If true, a real slap in the face of the fans he professed to love.

All i want to know is do we get compo and what will it be. 
Also, keep Rioli now.

Not reading into it too much myself.

Probably just stuffed, needs a break, open to the idea of making money in a quiet state with less attention.

I'll still hate seeing him in their colours though and hope it's not true.

Yes , there will be compo

He is still on our list

He is unrestricted FA so if he signs somewhere else then compo it is depending g on his new contract

If Dusty thought he could walk around the GC as an anonymous face in the crowd, Dimma just ruined it for him ... 
Fewer people up there just means they can get in his face even more ...     :o

He still on our list Julz until we do our delistings so he can go wherever he wants
