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: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
