Dustin Martin

'Could get it done': Dusty trade talk won't quit'. An AFL great is backing a $2.6m Swans move.

“The other thing you look at is yes he is 31, but he’s different, he’s been very resilient. “But Martin is due $2.6 million in the next two years, he wouldn’t take less, the Richmond footy club wouldn’t pay him elsewhere. He’s played 20 plus games every season, you look at his legs, they’ve never been injured. “I don’t reckon they’re placating him, I reckon they know that he loves the place, he doesn’t want to go and I think the coach knows Dusty can do what he wants and I’m happy to say that if I know that he’s going to stay.” “There is not a great history of clubs bringing people in at that age to try and grab a premiership, and it working.” Talk surrounding a Dustin Martin trade to one of the New South Wales clubs “will not quit,” according to Herald Sun journalist Jon Ralph. But how a deal could actually materialise is complex.
