I'll say it again, West Coast had agreed to the deal if we could get Hooker to go the other wayThere is no guarantee Brown would be happy with the way St Kilda handled this... They obviously valued Lee and Hickey above Brown and when it came to the crunch had chump change left to offer.... Coupled with the fact they were insistent on packaging Cripps with Brown left them with no bargaining power at the end of trade period.
If I was Brown I wouldn't be hanging out to get to the Saints next year.
All the saints have done in this debacle is raise Browns price but I'm sure he will bridge that gap before the year is out with a new contract.
