Demon_Tingles 211 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 My money is on him going to Collingwood.. Buddy to GWS and Dale Thomas to Carlton leaves Collingwood or Melbourne as the only clubs with the money but he won't go to Melbourne due to our lack of success
Paul Prympke 14 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Pretty sure he's from Country Victoria, Bendigo/Castlemaine way possibly Correct, he's a Castlemaine boy...his family has strong roots there, they have been there for generations...all of them cut from the same tough cloth.
Notorious D 29 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Our midfield has been so poor, we need some quality in there quickly. I'd definitely have a crack at Martin. 22yr old guns don't come available too often! What's he done off-field that is so bad? Hasn't set fire to anyone has he?
InVINCEable 358 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Apparently he is out of contract but not a free agent, how the hell does that work?
Wunders 397 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 If Roos decides to go for him, i would suggest it would have to be pick two (although i wouldn't want to give it up). I would demand the tigers first pick in return (10-15) and then try to ontrade that for Adams from GWS and maybe our second pick.. this way we get: Dustin Martin, Taylor Adams, Daniel Cross for our first two picks.. Sounds reasonable on face value.. if we then get given an extra pick we will be laughing.. If Dustin doesn't crash and burn that is..
alias275 259 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Correct, he's a Castlemaine boy...his family has strong roots there, they have been there for generations...all of them cut from the same tough cloth. Yeah though when he was about 14 he moved to Macquarie Fields to live with his father and fathers new girlfriend. Played for the Campbelltown Blues (this is why I know) and yeah headed back to Castlemaine when he was about 17 to play in the TAC cup before next draft trials.
Deespicable 2,886 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 He'd be a good fit to replace the Brat pack at Collingwood! You'd have to laugh at anyone stupid enough to take a guy who has a history of problems, binge-drinking and has a dad that makes John Tomic look good. Yes he is tough, but there are some players you put "Avoid at all costs" stickers on and he's one of them. Much rather have Rory Sloane for Pick No.2 any day.
hardtack 11,104 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 It's been confirmed we have been talking with his manager and are waiting to hear back. Article in Real Footy.

I'd also prefer Sloane, but is he available? Don't think so.
Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 He is very talented and i'd back Roos to sort out the off field stuff, so i wouldn't be against a big dollars offer, just short term rather than long term ideally, i'd go with pick 2 to GWS for Adams and pick 10 and pick 10 for Martin, if our offer is the best then they can either talk that or he walks to the PSD with a huge price tag on his head.

An old girlfriend of mine was the head art teacher at Macquarie Fields high school... she was always coming home with horror stories about the kids issues growing up in completely dysfunctional families. Poor bastard!
Deespicable 2,886 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 He's contracted, but given the No.2 pick is likely to be a gun SA boy - Aish or Scharenberg - Adelaide may be more interested in talking.
Dee Fan 3,247 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/demons-confirm-interest-in-dustin-martin-20130916-2tu2q.html UPDATE: Melbourne has expressed interest in Dustin Martin, as the Richmond midfielder seeks a better deal elsewhere and may quit the club. And it also emerged on Monday that the Tigers were no closer to securing another midfielder, Reece Conca, on a new contract. Martin informed the club Monday he intended to "pursue other opportunities". He is out of contract but is not a free agent. The Tigers had offered Martin a two-year deal worth about $1 million to remain, and were confident he would re-sign, despite earlier rejecting an offer. But it’s understood his manager Ralph Carr wants $600,000 a season. Demons' general manager of football Josh Mahoney confirmed the rebuilding club under new coach Paul Roos had held discussions with Carr. Advertisement ‘‘We did inquire about Dustin’s intentions. We are waiting to hear back from them about his intentions before the club discusses any next steps,’’ he said. The Demons could snare Martin in a trade for their No.2 pick in the national draft. Greater Western Sydney, which this year denied interest in Martin, could also join the chase.

RickyJ45 417 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Surely Roos' 'no d*ckheads' team philosophy will leave him at the gate
Curry & Beer 5,444 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Surely Roos' 'no d*ckheads' team philosophy will leave him at the gate well obviously not according to Mahoney we do have the strongest hand
Barney Rubble 1,576 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Chippy I am fairly confident that you cannot write that sort of contract. The players union I believe bans clauses that say all is void if you do XYZ. I don't believe you can add a " D Head " clause Didn't Fev have certain conditions applied to his contract?
dee-luded 2,959 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Given the issues that Rich and the AFL have had with Dusty, I wonder if Vlad will want a say on where he goes and under what conditions he can play? maybe, they already have had a say?
whatwhat say what 23,836 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Pick 2 and 20 for Martin and pick 12. Do it, Demons.
pantaloons 2,019 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 i'd go with pick 2 to GWS for Adams and pick 10 and pick 10 for Martin.. I may have missed something strange, but since when does GWS have pick 10? I've seen this posted dozens of times on Demonland and do not compute. Even if they did, that's a pretty hopeful deal from a Melbourne perspective.
hardtack 11,104 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Hard to know what is really going on... this is an instragram shot of Martin's tweets concerning the whole matter: https://twitter.com/traderadio/status/379510458232754176/photo/1
old dee 24,082 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Didn't Fev have certain conditions applied to his contract? I don't think so. They would have had 20 reasons to sack him if there was any. I am not certain of this but I remember when he was trying to get a gig after Brisbane. I seem to remember an agent making the comment that it was not allowed under the player agreement.
dee-luded 2,959 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I'd also prefer Sloane, but is he available? Don't think so. If Adelaide want P2, I'd chase David McKay or Crouch...
Neitz the Great 557 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 who wouldn't want this talented young football who we can mold into a brownlow medalist. Roos could do wonders
