I think that's very possible. We have lots of young fellas on the upward curve. Elite talent doesn't necessarily blossom in the first few years in the system.wally wrote:Is it possible as our midfield group get better that someone will become a home made game breaker?

A giant? Wouldnt think they have any chance at all because of the SC. Hawks would be a chnace though. I will go with the Tigers.

I am sure we could help the Giants out with their salary cap if they want Martin by talking a player or two off their handslennyhaze wrote:SAAD wrote:Dusty will be a Hawk or Giant next year...

Just reported on fox a Melbourne team has offered Martin 6 million over 6 years. Didn't say who but north Melbourne were mentioned as they have room in the SC.
Could well be us.

He's an absolute beast and exactly what we need… elite, match-winning, goal kicking mid.

Get him. He was probably the second best mid in the comp last year behind Dangerfield.
Add another mid using our two first round picks and we're in business.

4 goals. 33 possessions. 4 tackles. A few don't argues.
Total Gun. In his prime with plenty to come. Worth a Mill a year.

Hope he leaves just so to see how s*** Richmond will be without him.
He carries them week in week out. They have about 14-16 VFL players out there most weeks.

Tigers have definitely improved. Albeit against blues. But they have some kids that look good.

Martin is exactly what we need but aren't we out of the race?
Have to wonder why that is the case.
