The only way the dogs can save some face now is to take the two second rounders ASAP and then turn them into a 1st round pick THEMSELVES. This will at least make them look like they are trying to make the best of what they ended up with.
If they make EFC do the swap for them, they look even more petulant. Hopefully they make EFC do it
Karma, I love your work normally…but this is certainly “interesting”. Like someone posted in another thread, I’m starting to think you’ve been looking at the wrong player.
Anyway, I look forward to Grand final day next year when Smith collects the Norm Smith and see if you’re still sticking to your guns
I’ve never seen such disdain and hatred of a player whom is clearly talented and presents as quite a mature and level headed individual …I don’t get it at all.
If I walked into work and my boss said to me we don’t like the way you are behaving/performing and we don’t think you’re the right fit here and we think you should look somewhere else and then made that public to the entire industry damaging my reputation i’d feel pretty unwelcome and I think a constructive dismissal claim would have some serious legs.
Obviously footy is a different beast to other industries but the laws of this country still apply and this pretty quickly starts to head into restraint of trade territory if you try to deny that. The afl will ■■■■ the bed and pull hard on the choke chain
They didnt just tell him he would be traded. The coach then publicly opened potting season on him to justify why he needed to go. The playing group would be better off without him… Senior players then question his committment to the club. Its extraordinary.
Fair enough, then they should do it then. I didn’t do the math, just going on what was said elsewhere. TBH, I skim over a lot of the actual details as things change so much!
