I don't know why his preference is relevant 

The Bombers will find out this year.

    I said it a little while ago. But I believe Harmes 5 year contract (possibly back ended) was done early to free up space to take Martin...

    I'd love jack martin at the club, however I'd much prefer to have cap space and be in the picture for those 2020 free agents. [censored] that list looks amazing

    Previously cold to occasionally lukewarm, I'm now fully in support of poaching Martin from Carlton. The surprise inclusion of Bennell has left me ravenous for more, a return to my lower socio-economic youth when at Christmas I would tell myself that presents didn't matter - until I unwrapped the very first gift, and then instantly bored of last freebie and caught in the grip of a capitalistic frenzy would be immediately desperate for fresh stimulation. Who gave a [censored] if the parents couldn't afford it?

    Take him at pick 2 and pay what we can afford.  Maybe around 350-400k

    Wanted to play for Carltank? Bad luck pal, its a draft

    Keep up. He nominates a contract amount which must be agreed upon. We can't give him 350 if he has nominated 600

    Or $800k, if Blues can afford it and they know we want him.

    If he doesn't want to play for us at a reasonable amount, make those scum bags pay through the nose.

    I heard from someone in the know at Carlton that they will front load at 800k for the first year and offer a five year deal.

     

    He is not coming to us.

    Has he actually nominated his salary yet? When does he have to?

    In my opinion if he isnt worth 800K per annum, he must be close. I wouldnt be surprised if he really turns it on next year. Although we have many irons in the fire, Martin is close to a sure bet as an A grade player.

    Probably im wrong but I think he is fit now and ready to fire. Much more likely to play 20 games than Bennell. While costing a lot more than any other PSD player, if we have the money, I hope we go for it and act like a big club would.

    Didn't  this scenario happen to us years ago with that backman from Sydney.???. Put a shitload on his own head so we couldn't pay and got to the tigers.  Thought the afl should of canned this loophole  by now, if you ask for $800 a year, they should make sure that player gets it for the contract years. If ya that desperate to get out of a club, bad luck pal.

    Jack Martin has attracted 10 times the amount of headlines through this dummy spit episode of wanting to get to Carlton, compared to his entire playing career. Talk about melodramatic. Avoid.

    I'm happy with Bennell, someone who wants to be at the club.

    He nominates a 2 yr salary from what I understand. So if Carlton offer him a 5yr deal with the first 2 at $800 and the next 3 at $300 lets say (ie $500k a year) we are unlikely to match the first 2 yrs at $800 (he is under no obligation to sign 5 yrs)

    Darren Gaspar. It was about 300k - huge at the time.

    Quoting the famous "The castle" line "Tell them they are dreaming. He wants 5 years at a million a year  for many club wanting him in the pre season draft.

    It's not a million per year mate, just a million for the first year on what would be a heavily front loaded contract to ward off potential suitors.

    He doesn’t want a million a year, probably more realistically 600-700 and no doubt performance bonuses.

    But he can and likely has structured the deal with 1Mil for the first year. Exactly what everyone predicted.

    That number would force us to back end a lot of money and harm our chances of retaining Oliver and Petracca on good deals and then likely cost us player/s down the road.

    What a [censored], happy to see him go to Carlton and chew up their salary. Absolutely no where near worth the money he is demanding.

    This is where the AFL should institute a rule that says the average per year is what cold be matched. It its 5 years for 600k AVERAGE per year, that is what clubs should be allowed to match, not the heavily front ended number. If another club will pay 600 per year for 5 years............

    Rule worth considering imo. 

    He would have been nice, but we dont need him.

    • 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.
