Don't even get in his ear. Let carlton think they can get him via the psd. 

Then let him and carlton know he is ours when Mahoney reads his name out. 

 

This would be an absolute bonus pick up, we should seriously consider 3 years at around 400k.

This would be a steal.

Apparently GC offered Martin + 15 for 9, but Carlton refused.

9 + a future second.

Anyone know what his contract demands were with Carlton? Aparently he was very excited about playing with Betts, maybe Lord Nev needs to make a phone call and tell him he can train against the best small defender in the game and hone his craft! ?


Take him in the PSD. Would be the perfect end to a successful offseason if that occurred!

Play him at half forward as the kick inside 50 and stealing a few goals. Perfect fit for us with a bit of agility, pace, and great kicking skills.

Make it happen Dees!

The 3 AFL 2019/2020 priority picks allows GCS the luxury of possibly losing Martin for zip.

I'm glad they played hardball - it sends a strong message.

Yep agreed I couldn't believe the "experts" were rating him as a mid 20s pick. Surely a pick around 12-18 is what was needed to get him over the line. 

Carlton fans surely will be fuming, I'm sure a 35 year old Betts might get a goal of the year nomination for them.

french em'


Does anyone know what sort of coin he was asking for at Carlton?

This would actually be so amazing and the biggest FU to those carlscum supporters if we nab him in the PSD. 

Here's hoping he is good mates with May and or KK. 

Get out the big suitcase.  This guy is now highly gettable.

PRE SEASON DRAFT.  HE IS OUT OF CONTRACT.

GIVE HIM 3 YEARS MINIMUM. 

MAKE IT HAPPEN DEES 

 

I don't understand how the Blues would not accept Martin and pick 15 for pick 9?

Especially when you've gone down the route of offering a deal and telling Martin you want him at your club. If I was Jack Martin I would be seriously pi**ed.

Say what you want about Mahoney, at least when we chase players we make sure to get the deals done, even if people feel we pay slight overs.

I really hope we can use Carlton's ineptitude against them and lure Martin to the Dees.

I think they needed pick 9 for papley. 

Bad luck Carlton, you missed out on both.?

True. But surely when it becomes obvious that deal is dead in the water you get something done.

Apparently that report was incorrect and it was Martin and 15 for 9 and a future second. Which is fair enough to knock back.

Martin for free would be a dream result, but you can bet Carlscum will do some salary\contract manipulation to scare us off

Havent been around for the frenzy his arvo. Can someone explain his situation and how likely it is we’d be able to get him. Is he a chane to go through the National Draft or am I wrong in assuming that

I think a lot people on here are trying to figure that out, GC intimated to the Blues that they would redraft him if the deal fell through so GC and Martin/his management will be the biggest obsticals. I'm not sure how it works with the draft, I believe he can nominate for either the National or the Pre Season Draft but who knows how it will play out from there.

Let's not get too excited as of yet. Martin has to verbally say he wants to commit to us before he nominates for the pre season draft.

He could also be delisted and be picked up as free.agent by the blues.

I personally think that's pretty fair.

That 2nd round pick will probably end up around 30.

That would value Martin around pick 18.

Even if the 2nd round pick is 25, it still values Martin around pick 15.

I agree it's unlikely, but you never know.

I highly doubt the Suns will re-draft him now.

Surely there is zero reason for GC to do that, if they want to make him an example of a new found stoic nature with trading out their players they will make the route for Martin as difficult as possible. Otherwise what's the point of standing their ground at negotiations.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
