Dustin' or Adams

Featured Replies

I am completely bamboozled by the amount of uncertainty towards Dustin Martin.

A quality player could do wonders to the team yet no one is willing to take him.

Everybody wants Taylor Adams from GWS, isn't this the same Adams that assaulted a person and left him with a broken jaw????

How can you allow that but not Dustin???

 

Martin is on two strikes. And continues to stuff up off field.

Adams punched a bloke just after he was drafted. Who knows he was probably defending himself.

Adams is also very vighly rated for his leadership skills and is being talked as a future captain.

questions requires polls... lol

make a poll :)

We're sick of wasting early picks, when we need not only quality & class, but we Depth of quality. Martin could & sounds most likely to be another wasted early pick.

Adams for me.... Gaff, or use it in this years draft ourselves.

Adams also received a diversion order, which means that the officer that charged him didn't think it was overly serious as you can only get diversion if the police informant consents.

Adams hasn't put a foot wrong since. There's still big question marks over Martin.


Andrew Swallow over both of them.

Adams, Adams and Adams.

And Swallow as well please.

Both would cost us under $1mill. Dusty will cost us between 700-750k IMO.

yes he would cost that much because he is one of the best players in the afl already at 22

imagine what roosy could do to him!

Don't agree he's one f the best players. In the long run, Adams and Swallow are much better value. Roos could do much more with players who are focussed on the game.

Spot on mate, D.Martin is an idiot now and will be an idiot in ten years. Look at the influence around him (Martin snr)!, we all dogged Scully for leaving and now we want someone who just chases the money?. Flag that! Give me a couple of young blokes that are wired properly. Swallow or Adams all the way


Adams, easily. no contest for me really, the only doubt would be trying to get him to the club.

Andrew Swallow over both of them.

Sorry mate, but do you mean David Swallow? I would love to see Andrew Swallow at the club but I don't think it will ever happen.

If you meant David Swallow, I couldn't agree with you more :)

Adams.

I don't really like Dusty and his attitude although he does have a good highlight reel.

I could see him tearing it up in a Melbourne jumper but don't want to throw a bad egg into the batch just before we start cooking.

I think its definitely worth taking some risks (dayle garlett/Jurrah) but I don't want to have to pay overs for someone with a ? over their head.

i'd honestly love both.

But i'd rather Martin at the moment..

I would take either.

But its Taylor Adams for me.

He is not far off being as good as Martin.

He would be cheaper salary cap wise.

Would cost us less at the trade table.

Not as much baggage.

Yes they could and i would rather see Adams & Swallow!


Adams is a ten year inside mid with no off field baggage, and less of a profile so much easier to get a deal done, cheaper and imo his best football isn't far behind Martin anyway, Martin looks maybe a little better than his is because of the quality of the richmond midfield, he is all attack and no defense.

Adams has plenty of off field baggage.

Was charged with assault in a pub circa 2012.

You could technically argue that Adams is more of an issue than Martin given that Martin hasn't got a criminal record that I know of.

So one incident = to plenty of off field baggage?

Where Martin has :

Drank and taken pills the night before training

Refused to listen to the club in not to hang out with Dan Connors.

Turned up in poor condition to pre season

Went to St Kilda's Mad Monday 6 days before the finals match against Richmond.

Continued rumor of Martins drug problem and supposedly 2 strikes to his name.

Has connections with bikeys

Im not saying we shouldn't get Martin but please its pretty laughable when you say Adams one incident 2 years ago(and has since has had no problem's) has more off field baggage then Dustin Martin.

 

The greater question is could either be bothered coming to us?

Not the greater question, the only question.

a minor bit of unsociable issues is OK, & I would back Roos in to get that sorted.

..... but that Iceman is just Too cool for us.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
