Offer four years and big contract. Don't pay overs with a pick or player of Watts' calibre. Imagine if we could add Martin and Sewell to our midfield. It doesn't look finals bound, but it looks competitive.

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.

Sometimes he's naughty and I will not tolerate naughtiness.

The Richmond Football Club has been advised by Dustin Martin and his management of their desire to pursue offers from other clubs. The decision comes after months of negotiations, and despite being close to reaching agreement, the advice has been that Dustin wants to consider other options. Given the considerable effort we have put into Dustins development both on and off the field, and our efforts to retain him all season, we are extremely disappointed with this decision, Richmond General Manager of Football, Dan Richardson said. We are proud of the way Dustin has developed as a footballer, and as a person, in his time at Richmond, and we have been steadfast in our view that he is a required player who has an exciting football career ahead of him. However, we understand the business of football, and Dustins right to pursue other opportunities. We have also stated previously that we are determined to adhere to our payment strategy for all of our players, many of whom have already committed to the Club and its future direction during the 2013 season. The Club wont be making any further comment .

Surely worth a chat ....

Does ROOOOSY still have no [censored] policies ?

Pies

Tough deal to get done.

Probably, but do Carlton have one? He'd fit in well with Robinson.

Paul Roos, its your time to shine.

Do not want a selfish player on our list, big NO by me.

Bartlett gave a speech a while back about wanting more "mongrel" at the club.... Well, here's some!

Shaw plus picks to tigers...

I genuinely can not believe this. Here is a player, who we all know can play footy. The tigers have put every sort of procedure into helping him become a good footballer and stay in a position where he could find interests outside of footy to help his maturity. There have been countless mishaps from him and he has time and time again let Richmond down with his unprofessionalism.

Am I being harsh or is he being selfish and unloyal?

Very risky for any club to take on dusty. Lots of talent but he is a a ticking time bomb.

another big story kero missed out on

too sensitive for her or leaks drying up?

Wow i didn't see that coming...thought he would sign.

Interesting addition to our midfield if possible.

Roos did get a flag with Barry Hall on his list...

Do not want a selfish player on our list, big NO by me.

Well I want a good player on our list, so a big YES.

Roosy will be able to mould him into what we need.

Rumour going around St Kilda have offered 650k

Yeah but Bazza was only crazy on the field.

Isn't there a rumour somewhere suggesting Martin wanted to move to NSW?

LOl

Dustin Martin at Si Kilda will be an absolute riot

their culture is the worst by far for off field indiscretions

Isn't there a rumour somewhere suggesting Martin wanted to move to NSW?

To be closer to number one pick Tom $cully?

Geez it's a tough 1 on football ability you would have to chase him but outside that he is an A grade [censored] him and Sylvia would have fun together

We should be able to trump any club on $$ and a trade so we'll know soon enough if MFC (Roo's) is interested. I suspect we might be...interested?

hope somebody gets his signature quickly.it will save us a term of regret

Struggling to see what deals could be done to satisfy Richmond in all this if its not GWS he's going to (and their special poaching rules).

Would Martin be worth our Pick 2?
