Not enough to get the job done and the Tigers are kidding themselves with an offer of 800 grand.

Dusty is a Restricted FA and so the Tigers have the right to match any offer. So it is not in their interest to bid high as they do not have to outbid any other club. They can just decide at the end if they wish to match or not.

"Richmond needs to make Dustin Martin a mega offer to avoid another Lance Franklin-like departure"

Jay Clark Names Another Club In The Hunt For Dustin Martin

Jay Clark has revealed on Triple M St Kilda is expected to make a "big offer" for Richmond star Dustin Martin.

Martin is out of contract at the end of the season and has put off contract talks, becoming one of the most sought after free agents in the league.

Damian Barrett reported on the Friday Rub that North Melbourne was in the race to sign him.

Clarky has backed up Barrett's report - and he's named another club.

"Big offers are expected to come from two clubs, North Melbourne and St Kilda being those," he said on the Sunday Rub.

"Clearly (Martin) is waiting out for that offer (from Richmond) to come up. His manager Ralph Carr is determined to leave it until the end of the season."

St Kilda has previously identified their desire to land a big fish via free agency.

Martin would fit the bill after establishing himself as one of the league's best midfielders in 2016, placing third in the Brownlow and winning All-Australian selection, as well as Richmond's best and fairest

Martin is a gun but Alan Richardson seems to be obsessed with players with similar body shape to himself.

Armo, Ross and Dunstan are already his favourites. He is very interested in players with a large rump and stocky legs.

Probably why he hates Acres. A bit lean for Richo's personal tastes.

I am skeptical in the extreme with these reports because usually we are used as pawns by player agents to simply up their contract price. Very skeptical.

Interesting though.

Older male seeks similar types with large rumps and stocky legs. Finds strong, young, physical guys significantly pleasing. Must be well fit but slow enough to catch easily in game playing. Good ball manipulation not a prerequisite. Doesn't need to be classy but just good honest effort in and under.

I cant either, i also can't see the rest of our team playing so poorly around Martin either. He is one of those guys who gets others involved more, if he wasn't then richmond would be up s*** creek.
