Briefly:
Damien Hardwick has refused to rule out the prospect of the Suns recruiting Dustin Martin.
Martin’s contract with the Tigers expires on the finish of the season.
What’s subsequent?
Hardwick says the Suns will assess their recruitment plans on the finish of the season.
Gold Coast coach Damien Hardwick admits the Suns would “be loopy” to not think about recruiting off-contract Richmond star Dustin Martin.
Three-time Norm Smith medallist Martin was the primary participant drafted at Richmond throughout Hardwick’s 14-year teaching tenure that netted three late premierships.
Martin is within the last yr of his contract and the suggestion of a transfer north has lingered ever since Hardwick took over as Suns coach from the axed Stuart Dew this season.
Hardwick did little to dampen the prospects of Martin’s arrival subsequent season when requested at a media convention on Wednesday.
“Dustin’s a contracted participant at Richmond. That is clearly for Dustin to resolve and Richmond to work their manner by way of,” he mentioned.
“He is a very, actually good participant, there is no doubt about that, and each single membership could be loopy in the event that they did not sit there and at some stage make an evaluation.
“Like 17 different golf equipment, we’re all the time on the lookout for good gamers.
“Gold Coast is not any totally different. These checklist administration calls will get made on the back-end of the yr.”
The Suns have an 8-7 win-loss file to take a seat in eleventh place on the ladder, two factors outdoors the highest eight.
They’re chasing their first away win of the season towards North Melbourne this Saturday at Docklands.
