You've got your head in the sand if you think AFL players don't do drugs, including Melbourne players (jack watts for example). Murray just got caught

The list of players who don't would be shorter than the list of players who do...

    Is this the same Jack Martin that begged and pleaded to be a Bomber this time last year?

    Unless there’s a clear threat that he’d sit out the season, or would be a toxic member of the playing group, just be a little ruthless and take him in the PSD. Even if he’ll only sign a 1 year contract.

    We need to further leverage what was a most unexpectedly disastrous season.

    We’ll got 2 top 10 picks.

    We’re getting a bottom 6 draw.

    Lets take advantage of pick 2 in the PSD!

    Which is why i am not overly fond of bringing him in. Sounds like a sooky little b!tch to me.

    Wouldn't mind seeing Viney steamroll him at training though!

    Agree, pick him and hope he turns up in better shape than May - no sure thing though. Worst case we trade him later for an ND pick.

    Once he meets the players and staff he will settle in well - no  doubt. With luck he will prove to be a great get.

    I see it as some compensation for dropping from pick 2 to 3 in the ND.

    The HUN reported GC were offered a low ball future second and third round pick in next years highly compromised draft. Hardly a worthy offer for a  player allegedly offered $600k+ pa. If he nominates for the PSD we will know what he wants - if its made public.

    HUN article quoting Martins manager stating that there are many ways to structure a contract to scare off rivals. By rivals he means Ds and GC. The article then talks of first season at $800k plus that the Ds would not match given he would request a trade after the first season. The article actually says 'would request a trade after the first season.

    You cannot get much more blatant draft tampering than those sorts of plans. I would say the Ds would be seeking clarification from the AFL. The AFL would need to step in to stop this. If not this could happen on a regular basis. It will scare clubs into accepting low ball offers for out of contract players or risk losing them for nothing in the PSD via dodgy structured contracts and the threat of walking out after one season if drafted by the non preferred club.

    If the AFL allows a dodgy contract to stand  then I doubt we will draft him.

    In summary, the D's need to grow some B's and seek clarification from the AFL :laugh:

    He can request a trade after a year and we can ignore his request or demand a first rounder for him.

    Agreed, Martin would never put himself in a situation where he is close to a contested ball.

    FMD! If that's not draft tampering then it's certainly against the spirit of the draft.

    This is what happens when the players and their managers hold all the CBA cards and the clubs fold.

    Is murray actually a [censored] or just perceived because of his suspension?

    The AFL will never get between a player and their club of choice. As soon as a player challenges the afls player transfer rules in court the whole house of cards comes down

    If Martin doesn’t want to engage and explore the possibility of being in red and blue next year, then let’s move on. 
    Not sook to the AFL

    Not blow our budget

    its Really no big deal, he’s a player who’s not achieved a lot despite evident potential and talent.

    Elliot budget isn’t going to be used. We may as well use it on Martin.

    Average player with no elite traits.

    He will not be the difference between Carlton being a better team than MFC next year. 

    If we land him, great. But really posters pumping him up to be the next GAJ need to take a cold shower.

    I get the feeling posters only want him because Carlton want him and he doesn’t want to come to us. Get over it, he’s not a great player and certainly not worth what he’s allegedly asking.

    Someone like Martin falling through to the PSD is a hugely rare event. I’m quite sure the dees are exploring every option and every method of persuasion behind closed doors. At least I hope so.

    Judging by his Instagram photos I think I know the answer.

    He’s not a free agent, therefore hasn’t earns the right to choose a club and only play for that club. He must enter the national draft or preseason draft, which means he’s up for grabs from whichever club drafts him.

    If he elects a club and refuses to join that club, he sits out of playing AFL. Anything else is draft tampering.
     

    The AFL need to get involved here or it breaks the rules they’ve created, sets a precedent and changes the landscape in a negative way.

    it was reported that the mfc would only consider him if he had some interest and he doesn't so we move on and use the cap space next year.. Carlton and his mgmt were are all over him going to psd well before trade deadline ended and he will get to Carlton. Move on everyone and focus any truely 'available' players

    I am on the record as saying Jack Martin is no where near the what he is being valued at. the only thing that's going to affect us is the perceived public and media scrutiny for not "taking a risk" or "having some pills" to draft him.

    Stuff that, i guarantee Martin will never win a game for you, would rather draft Jack Newnes.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
