Would you be critical of the club if Dusty walks ??
« on: August 25, 2017, 04:40:18 PM »
Surely there comes a tipping point where club must come before an individual. I think thats where we are .

Club has already offered a contract which would make him the highest paid footballer in Richmonds history. 

I'll be more pi $$ed at Dusty than anything else . Club has really looked after him since the day he was drafted . How many young footballers live at the presidents house . How many boarders has Eddie had ??

Shame - because I've never seen a better season by a RFC player .

Simply put, if he goes then he has no desire for team success, the successful clubs have players that make sacrifices for team success.

If he only wants the money then fair enough i say, thanks for your service and enjoy being miserable for the next 7 years, even with your extra money

No

The best offer the club has ever made to a player dollar wise and the best shape the football club has been in this century and beyond.

Could not have done any more without sacrificing premierships

Only if we don't adequately cover his loss with some shrewed trades.


So yes, probably.....

Agreed.

I don't think it will sit well with him that it will be all about money.....

Only need look at the example of G Ablett to know that money isn't everything.  If he had his time over again their is no way he would leave.

No, I would not be.

 Not sure that it makes a difference to his ability to survive financially if he knocks us back.

No, but we have got some hard and fast work to do to get into this trade period. Blair you'll certainly earn your pay this trade period.
