Sign Dustin Martin

just a pretty ignorant comment because you don’t know the rules and understand the game.

you can only legally dispose of the ball by a hand pass(where you punch the ball on) or a kick.

if you get caught with the ball and had the chance to dispose of it legally you give away a free kick.

so most of the time you find it frustrating and feel like they can’t pick the ball up - they are not trying to because if they get caught with it they are going to give away a free kick. So they do that sort of knock on thing to get around the rule - or if you “accidentally” can’t pick it up you don’t give away a free kick but in effect you are moving the ball to a place where it advantages you or your team.

I understand the game all too well, but thank you very much for your pointless explanation of the boring rules of the boring game.

Barring the $22m click bait, it’s actually a good story.

His manager told of two matching $11m offers he fielded for Martin in 2017 to switch clubs, that were somewhat confirmed by each club. Martin’s manager had to convince him to decline them as he felt Richmond was the better position for him to be in.

Hope we can do that with some of our signing and re-signings that managers recommend they stay for less as they would get better football opportunities with us.

some info on free agency in the AFL -restricted and unrestricted including the draft - many want something like this in the NRL-

Apologies for apparently upsetting you. It just seems from your comments you needed an explanation as to why it appears scrappy and unskilled in that particular microcosm of the larger game.

Not upset, just being cheeky, sorry. Just sick of hearing it's a more skilful game than rugby league from people who don't know one or either of the codes. I think the skill level is hugely over-rated. It's just less physical.

Different skills required for any of the Football codes - Is Footaball (the World game) as Laszlo Urge (Les Murray) called it more skillful than all the other football codes
