The problem is that since day 1 of the trade period Carlton believe he's worth a medium first round pick in a weak draft, whereas Richmond think he's worth a late first rounder. The issue is that neither team has budged.
Carlton will continue to refuse if the offer isn't what they want, because Yarran is contracted and can't go anywhere. I don't think many Carlton fans have an issue with Carlton taking a stance re yarran. His petulant behaviour and poor attitude/performances this year won him no fans. His insistence that he goes only to Richmond is his doing. If Richmond can't come up with a suitable deal then so be it. If he sits out, he sits out. The club will become stronger for it.
The thought of him spooking it up and sitting out for a year goes further to his 'reputation'.
His rep wont be harmed IMO as he will be 100% locked in to coming to the tigers next year, we would understand the situation he is in. The blue supporters seem not to understand how the blues can be exploited in this. Yarran can claim medical issues, mental health, etc and you still pay him and he plays no games, that is more likely then he pulling on the jumper.
He can see if he has a case of restraint of trade and take the blues/AFL to court. Being contracted wont help the blues as he can just show examples aka Menzel where the blues are happy to break contracts if it suits.
IMO the AFL wont want this, and being corrupt will make sure Yarran is a tiger.
