Between that and the Dangerfield warchest, we must have an absolute truckload of cash to throw around!
What kind of absolute deadshit Club allows another Club to make demands about the medical treatment of OUR player, without an ironclad commitment as to what the trade will be?
Hopeless.

2013-2016: $400k for Mackay is absurd!
2019: $400k spent for players to play for other teams is a calculated masterstroke.
Look at all the trades other than Hill, the team the player is leaving tends to get reamed, Players have all the say and you just get out of it what you can. At least we shed $$$'s and can start the rebuild now
Pretty much this. The only one with any value was Keath who we got a future 2nd for.
More would've been nice but compared to most years, we have pick ******* 4
I really think Justin Reid is just a horrible multitasker, who just takes one instruction from the list management group and focuses on it way too much.
The list management group says to him in the situation we’re in we look like we should be looking very closely at going to the draft for this and especially next year because academy picks and Justin Reid takes that as a go ahead to just put on the blinkers and solely focus on what ever draft picks gets chucked into deals especially if they contain ‘future picks’ and doesn’t look at a lot of other options.
End result is he ends up with 3rd round picks and Frampton who literally just fell into our lap with little planning.

It's just the bloody Crows that I've become a pessimist about (and I was still telling everybody we'd be top 4 before this season started!)

Having seen that Jenkins is no longer on our list, I'd like to amend my opinion to: best trade period ever!

At least the Blues have categorically come away with the worst trade period. Disaster for them. They also think they’ll somehow land Martin the PSD or AFL draft itself. Would love to get that Pick 4 to turn into two mid 1st rounders for Gould and someone else.

Just sitting back and looking at the upcoming draft , we have 6 picks in the top 50. Only 1 in first round but a good one. And we have picked up Frampton. I was disappoint we could not have picked up better trades but it is what it is. Let hope Hamish does his job well. I wonder if we will explore picking up any uncontracted players.

The reality is this trade period was about clearing some deadwood and not overcommitting to contracts as we have done in the past.Mate, funnily enough, I am! I actually have multiple nicknames within my group of friends based upon how positive and optimistic I generally am...

We succeeded in that, and whilst we did cop a bit of a reaming for Hugh we got fair value for Keath despite first look, we got overs for CEY, traded Jacobs for Frampton, and got rid of 2 problem contracts in Betts and especially JJ.
The whole universe knew four years on good coin for a 28 year old big lug like JJ was crazy. One of our worst decisions ever.

He gave us false hope with a pretty good year last year.
I still reckon it's more attitude based than salary. He became a toxic influence.

Imagine what we could have got for JJ in a trade then.

Fair enough but at his age I don't know. May have been more money in the pot to pay CC.

Oh i agree, no doubt this was an error.
Jenkins will go alright at Geelong.

Maybe.
I suspect he gets in the way. The point of this wasn't about whether he would go OK, he would probably have done so here..... He just became unnecessary.
Justin Reid is only the executable instrument of the List Management Committee. He doesn’t make the calls, isolating him is simplistic and only for the true morons. Try thinking instead of lashing out.
Toxic at our club like many of the entitled. Thank * he’s gone.
