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 ?

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

    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.

    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...

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

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

    Yeah but Bazza was only crazy on the field.

    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?

  • Quote

    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

  • Quote

    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?

    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?

    • 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?

      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.
