300+ games, went off with a back injury...Yeah lets give a contract. AFL media is gutter

[@crippa8130]

martin is cooked. You’d be mad to take him on.

[@ethan76708]

This is exactly the reason dusty will go to the Gold Coast the Victoria media talks about him every week it’s annoying at this point

[@mives02]

Been a Richmond supporter and member all my life. I've got nothing but admiration and respect for Dusty and whatever he decides I'll be fine with. He and all the other retired champions gave us an incredible ride which will stay with me forever.

[@carlosrivadera5086]

Who wants an expensive player with injuries seriously stop the stupid game playing. Show some respect to the club members and don’t do the Damian dirty that left everyone with a bad taste about him. Dusty deserves to go with a big game and the respect of all the members.

Damian Parrot.🙄

[@jsequine927]

Damo, can you please give it a rest with the sensationalist “Richmond is a mess” stuff and constant attacks on Gale and Hardwick. Yeah, they have had mass injuries and have big list calls to make. Hardwick jumped ship unexpectedly but the only person who begrudges him is you, Tiges fans will take the 3 flags. They have a rookie coach who’s had a rough initiation. Gale is on the out. But he’s had an incredibly successful tenure guiding the club he still loves, they need him there to find the top executives to replace him. He’s not the type of person to be doing the job off the side of his desk. He’ll be doing the best job he can to leave Richmond in the best state possible before he leaves, chief of which is finding the right CEO. I’m a Hawks fan and we were apparently a ‘mess’ in 2019-2020 too despite a remarkable period of success. It just takes time to rebound when you’ve had so much success and decades without top draft talent. There’s a cost that’s sometimes unavoidable to being a successful club, and that includes the best coaches and executives moving on when their time is up.

[@moonboy5851]

Why bother?? I’m a GC supporter and I don’t want him anywhere near our list. He is done.

[@stuhead7607]

Do we really need this in depth discussion on a player whose given his heart and soul to his employer his club his workmates / teammates. If he wants to continue playing and can but isn’t part of the current clubs future model then move on, if not stay and play on till you know times up. Hey Media stop speculating & driving the agenda, how about be grateful a player of this statute is still about in the modern game and what he can deliver ! Wish north got him years back but in reality glad he stayed where he was and won flags and accolades as he deserved it and so did the tigers!

[@chrispetritsch1291]

He's finished.

[@Comatosedpeanut]

I wouldn’t take him on big money. He’s not the same player he once was.

[@bensutton7679]

Can’t think of a single club other than North Melbourne (purely for the PR and relevance) that would benefit from offering Dusty a 2 yr $2.something million contract. What’s the expectation ? That he can play 25-30 games max at 12-15 per year in his current form?

[@darylcumming7119]

Dusty should finish career at Richmond . But will it happen next season ? AFL media in over drive on regards to this issue.

[@metallewd3472]

My mail is they wanna do the right thing. WTAF. Lolz

[@waynemurphy2825]

Old damo f me you talked in 2016 then went quiet as a mouse ever since

[@doubleviewcarpetcleaningdc1215]

If tigers are a mess what are west coast ? 🤔

[@deanbritt9131]

Ridiculous

[@fuzz7981]

Let Dimma take him. Richmond would be much better off with the salary cap space right now. If he runs his contract out you’re only delaying the rebuild.

[@moonboy5851]

I love how these idiots are giving Martin advice.

[@jsequine927]

I don’t really get the motive for Dusty to go to another club if his motivation and fitness is not what it was and he loves the club as much as he says. He’s not missing any premierships and is the most decorated player in grand finals ever. What would be the point of going to the Suns to play in front of 3,000 fans and vuvuzelas?
