    If Adelaide were keen to trade him in.......we should have just got the best return we could for him.

    And THEN..........if we really wanted to, have some investigation or whatever.

    I hope there's some end game here that the club has thought through.
    Integrity of the club. If it's true, what he has done is the ultimate betray from a player.

      You can't just ignore something like this, this is the ultimate betrayal of a club, it is telling the enemy your plans, it is low, it is untrustworthy and if proven correct - a sackable offence.

      The club had to make a stand on this, no one deserves to play for us if this is what they are going to do.

      What is the motive behind this, that is what is intriguing?

        Does Tim Watson commentate on news other than what comes out of Windy hill? hmm there you go.

          I think he'll waste 2 years of another clubs time before being cut.
          I know and I agree but the job he did on Tex this year was very good. His best and worst is poles apart.

          That's a good point.
          But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

            In no way should we help him get to his club of choice.. Some things are more important than a draft pick.
            Pretty much sums up how I feel as well. Forget trying to get a good deal. Cut the cancer out right now. Stuff like this can really fracture a team.

                      And in other breaking news Victorian Police have investigated faulty radar speed detectors and have decided the issued fines are still valid, and Metro trains have investigated inappropriate fair evasion tickets issued by inspectors and have decided the fines are still valid.

                      James Hird has also completed his due diligence on the Essendon doping scandal and has concluded it's everyone else's fault.

                      Extracts of the process have been released;

                      AFLPA- You do it?

                      M Talia- Nup

                      D Talia- Nah

                      AFLPA- Good enough. Case closed. Now let's get back to trying to get more money.

                            Keep in mind that if we completed a trade and then went to the integrity unit it may cause clubs to think twice about trading with us in good faith. We don't need to be a pariah like Essendon because Talia is Hebrew for 'moronic dickhead'
