Signed, sealed and remaining - $1.3m for the next 7 years

By my reckoning they have 5 players commanding 25% of their salary cap, which is a recipe for potential disaster

    1.3 million a year for Dusty, thats classic Richmond.

    Good on Richmond and Dusty if he stays! I like one club players. There should be more of them... 

    Dusty is better off in the long run both financially and his standing in the game by staying at Richmond. 

    Richmond are a very good side and North aint...

    I agree. If the Tigers win the Flag this year Dusty will be worth every cent. 

    Imagine if the MFC had a player who was Worth that much and we kept him on the list.

    Such was our arrogance, or absolute incompetence, that we didn't even interview him at the time.

    Can't imagine that Jason Taylor or Todd Viney would adopt the same approach these days.

    The 7 year deal is hilarious and so very Richmond. Incredibly desperate bunch. Can they even win a final this year?

    I think it's fantastic for the rest of the competition that Richmond's cap for the next 7 years will be taken up by Dustin Martin.

  • Quote

    Hardwick and co better win a flag for them, otherwise they're in for some real pain in 3-5 years time.

  • Quote

    So does that mean he isn't part of the long queue of superstars knocking on Melbourne's door?

  • Quote

    Now that his long term future has been secured, watch him come back to the pack next year.

    Massive win anyone else in the market for a champion FA, as Richmond have taken themselves out of the market for several years.

    North will be throwing money around like drunken sailors now to make up for missing out.

    There will be some angry mid tier players over the next few years as Dusty inevitably declines mid contract.

    He's already 26 for Christs sake. What sort of player will the have when he is 30+?

    I think its wonderful news. They wont be making a serious play for any of our good youngsters any time soon.

    Now for Norf to sell the farm for Kelly, and sit mid table for the next 10 years.

    I think we have a better approach. Just need to sort the mental weaknesses inside the club.

    If he played for us we would do the same to keep him. He's a top 5 player in the comp and I'm glad he's staying put. It's nice to see players not jumping ship.

    This is the real problem. Total cap mngmnt looks out of whack. Prestia is the one that really hurts them.

    Classic win - win. Richmond stuck with him when he is 30+ and limits their options for mid range talent. North to flail around having elected to keep a coach who has not delivered.

    He's a great player period. 

    A matchwinner, a genuine star and I wished we had him. 

    Like Franklin, he may have been a lot of trouble in the early days, but the Tigers have done a great job in supporting and managing him. 

    Glad he is staying with the Tigers.

    Martin is a gun, I just hope his best footy lasts as long as his contract. Yes, he is shy, different, comes from a thugg-ish family, is covered in art work, but bloody hell I wish more players played like him. I wish SOME Dees players played like him! Strong, quick, takes risks, lifts his team mates, and his kicking makes me drool. 

    The Tigers are a VERY good football team this year. I know we hate them but Hardwick and the club have done an amazing job getting to where they are. Well done for securing martin.

    But 5 players taking 25% of TPP is a recipe for problems about 2 years from now. Real problems.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
