That's not true, there was reported significant interest from several clubs, including Brisbane from memory. Once a player nominates a club though, it's always tough to extract full value for an uncontracted player, especially one who was sitting on the fringes like Witts, through no real fault of his own.Yeah, Witts was always going to become a solid AFL ruckman. He wanted out, as he wasn't going to get Number 1 ruck minutes with Grundy at the same club. Pies had no choice to trade him and apparently GC were the only interested party, so we weren't able to extract value. What I don't understand is why teams like Essendon and the Dogs didn't have a crack at him.
