The Geelong plants in the media basically forced the trade. Brady Rawlings saved our off season.

Edit: In saying that, I think everyone was hoping CD would excel at North, sad to see how it’s turned out. He did play midfield at the Dogs so it makes sense why Clarko was trying him in there.
Yep. Unfortunately you guys didn't really have much ground to stand on. Whole footy world knew he wanted out and wanted to go to only one team and Bailey was hanging with the Cotton on Crew at the GF from memory (disgusting), so basically you either take 17 and the swap of later picks or force him into the draft and get nothing.
 
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but if we had any negotiating skills and told the dogs to jam it when they insisted on pick 25 for him, we could have used that pick on Whitlock & kept this years pick 2??
Ouch
Potentially we could have gotten Matt, but some chance Tigers may have taken him with 27.
At the very least could've been one of Jack Whitlock or Matt Shanahan if Matt was gone.

Lol. I've got some sympathy for him as they are statues up the ground, but don't just take off without a plan.
They are statues because (i) as you say there is no plan and (ii) players have no confidence to run more than 40 meters as CD may not be able to make the distance.

This experiment should have ended weeks ago - it certainly must end now.

Its worse than that.

The oppo has free reign to squeeze the ground because he's so slow and kicks it 17 metres. It absolutely ruins the chances to progress the ball with speed and depth.

This situation is utter madness.

Yeah pretty hard to lead when it’s a small area - kick outs need to be taken away from him

General supporter base unhappy about this decision when it came to light.

Club reassures us it’s the right decision…

General supporter base furious with the expected outcome less than a quarter of the way into the season.
 
Like when they convinced us to trade for an eight game Lachie Young rather than force them to delist him and get him for free
We downgraded pick 63 for pick 70 in that trade and then didn't use that pick. Wouldn't really call it as pulling one over on us there. It just helped them to facilitate it as a 3 way trade with Brisbane to pick up Stef Martin.
