It's just like Vescio or Pearce where they've been offered a full time job with the club in addition to a marquee contract. Basically it's something that we can't match because Brennan & Blackburn are our marquee players and we can't just decide to float a full time job with the club just so that we can match Norths offer.

It sucks but that's how it goes; we were always going to lose an important player thanks to the new Victorian clubs and it's just as crucial for us to hold onto Conti, Blackburn & Huntington.
