I have no doubt.

Then the only thing in doubt is if North have 1.5 per year, over 7 years to pay the bloke.


They got no one else to pay so they would have plenty of spare coin ;)

Maybe i asked the question incorrectly. Are you happy paying one player that much per year?

I look forward to the outrage and trade bans for following the rules if North get Dusty.

Oh wait.

It's apparent we've got the coin, if you can afford the best why not?
So many other things at play though. Who else we're chasing, who we actually get...

When the figure of $1.5 million is quoted, does that include match payments or is that his base salary

We pay him $2m in next 3-4 years while we have plenty of cap space, backs down to $1m for last few years which will make it work and happen, very clever.

And he gets to look after his Dad with the extra $ we are offering.

The Carlton Draft on FB :

I'd be going with North Melbourne if I were Dustin Martin, a pay rise and September guaranteed off every year, that's a wicked deal.

Good move, our club rarely makes an error in this department.

Waiting on Caro's apology.

Hansen gone, Thomas, Waite, Thompson, Swallow must all be facing the chop or at very least minimum salaries in 2018, will free up another $1.5m+.

Still think we can't fit both guns in?

Caro said on Monday night he was staying. Not sure she needs to apologise
