    He ain't going to leave a finals bound team to come to us.

    offer him 750 k a year for 4 years and give him something to think about

    Watts Martin up to? Let's hope he hasn't been made an offer he can't refuse from GWS. (And who knows maybe Jack has an offer as well). If this is the scenario the advantages given to the expansion clubs thru draft picks and extra salary caps are becoming scandalous. Richmond is on the rise what else would Martin be chasing than $$$?

    Both expansion clubs have gone past us and continue to be given massive advantages and people still don't believe we need extra help at the end of the season.

    Nup, he's too big a risk, leaving a finals bound team for cash. Still young, trouble off the field, the sums don't add up.

    Not for us.

    What's the point of having salary cap space is we're not going to use it? They guy is clearly chasing money, and we're in the fortunate position of giving him that.

    Could Dusty be waiting to see where Mark Williams will be in 2014?

    Too many stories circulating about him; good footballer but who's to say he will stay on the straight and narrow. Bartlett, earlier this year, doubted he'd still be on Richmond's list at the end of the year because of the trouble he was getting himself in to.

    If Chocko has settled him down and he comes across to us with him as coach ok, but if not, no thanks.

    if he was at melbourne, we would all be complaining about him not signing up and wanting to play for the club

  • Quote

    The best young mid in the comp and some of you are hand-wring about behaviour?

    Get him, get Garlett and any other kid who can win a break because this club is going down the gurgler without mids.

    Even Hardwick categorically stated that they'd never 'pay overs' for anyone, like they used to.

    Methinks your nose is growing, Damian.

    If we were to offer him 750k a year, and trade Watts and pick 2 for there first round pick.

    so

    Martin and pick 12 ish for our pick 2 and Jack Watts

    would definitely be incentive?

    I strongly dislike him as a person, but he is a damn fine footballer. This club needs people others hate, we need to become unlikeable, we need to develop a brand of tough, uncompromising footy, Martin will help that. For me, I'd be happy to offer him 750k, wouldn't think twice about it.

    Big money offer via the PSD would be perfect.

    Wouldn't GWS have pick 1 in PSD? I'm sure they'd snaffle him up in a heartbeat given the chance

    Haha Dusty

    Straight swap for Watts? Haha

    if he goes anywhere it will GWS, he comes from Sydney and probably wants to go home.

    He'll re-sign with Richmond. This is just a dance.

    Tango, Limbo or musical chairs? Until we stand up and step onto the dance floor we'll never know. Get in his ear Dees.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
