Dustin Martin to leave Richmond

Re: Dustin Martin to leave Richmond

It's bad news for Richmond in all honesty. GWS would have been an ideal trading partner and fetched them a good return. Maybe they're bluffing to snap him up in the PSD?

He's got a couple of connections with St. Kilda from what I've heard and was confirmed earlier in this thread. I'll try and find out a little bit about this tomorrow, meeting up with a few friends who know him quite well. I'll pry and see if they know anything.

I can't see St.Kilda chasing him considering they don't want their players socialising with him. Would be quite hypocritical, but I guess it wouldn't surprise St.Kilda to be hypocritical.

Re: Dustin Martin to leave Richmond

Asked a few questions and got pretty much everything we knew already.

* Martin looks like he'll stay at Richmond unless another team puts down the money for his services. $$$ value unknown, could be possibly less than asking but most likely be original offer. Didn't know anything about behaviour clauses.

* He would have gone to go to St. Kilda, Saints didn't want him. I guess the culture there is so good they didn't want to hurt it.

* GWS were interested but $$$ are spoken for. They want to make a play at Fyfe next season. That sounded like a tall story personally.

* Surprised at the lack of interest, off field behaviour not great but hardly any worse than some players. One guy said more money, more problems.

Pretty much everything we know already.
