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.

    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.

    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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
