But you want us to roll over on Aish and the Drafts - you have posted the point umpteen times already and there is no way the club will send Leuey to the PSD...pointless bleating.
umm narr actually sorry, your'e incorrect about this.
I want/ wanted us to step straight up and say "James has chosen to leave our club, 9 or the 10 other young guys we have bought in since retention has been a focus are signed on and love the club, brisbane is a great club and a great place to play football - we wish James all the best and we will be activly seeking the best trade for him from Monday at 9am, we will be seeking VERY good compensation from DCollingwood if that is where he chooses to go, the PSD draft is an option if they don't satisfy our requests"
Not... play hard ass, talk hard ass, stagnate in our negotiations because we don't have the pieces required to finish some very attractive trades, all to then roll over on our stance anyway.
But yeah If we are going to roll over, I would prefer it be now so we can get moving with our trade period.
So whilst you jumped at the chance to incorrectly connect the dots, my position is actually pretty rock solid on this, I think the stance is pointless, and rolling over at the end of it makes it worse and makes us look even worse than we already do ATM.
