Dustin Martin

[Hack]

Does anybody know who the imbecile was that rejected Dustin Martin coming to stkilda when he first came out of contract a few years back? I can only hope they are no longer involved in the footy club because that would have to be one of the worst decisions ever. Bazaar at the time even more so now.

[ausfatcat]

Martin was never going to leave Richmond what has given you the impression it was a done deal coming to the saints

[SaintPav]

Scott Watters.

[Trev from the Bush]

Martin renewed his contract with Richmond.

So, why not spit bile at an unknown persons just because he never intended coming to StKilda? I know who the imbecile is, and not connected to the club. Just some hack.

[SaintPav]

Don’t hold back, Trev.

Just to clarify I’m not talking about his last contract renewal but the one previous to that where no club wanted him. Including the Saints

Didn't fit our social values. I remember it well

Yeah the club got angry with Fisher for meeting him in Bali or something like that

[SaintPav]

From memory Pelchen was trying to get him and Watters didn’t want a bar of it.

[chico2001]

There you go...if that is correct then we missed out on him then......

That’s like the should i have invested in bitcoin just before the spike in football terms

[spert]

I can assure you that Martin was never going anywhere but Richmond.

[skeptic]

I can assure you that Martin was never going anywhere but Richmond.

I don’t think it would have been up to him at that point

Yes, hindsight bias but that is not what I meant or said, Skepo.

Trust me.

[HardSaint]

does anyone honestly think he would have flourished into the player he's become at Richmond if we'd taken him on?

There was a very real danger he would have become the d**khead he is beneath the (now) disciplined exterior, Richmond worked so hard to make him. had he joined our club. It would have been a media field day of same old same old, St Kilda culture etc etc

We cant develop promising young talent let alone even ever consider developing a gifted, yet flawed individual into a champion

Kidding yourselves if you think, with what we'd had for the last 5 years, he would be the champion he is now had we got to him
