Haha, you do realise that your footy club NEVER get deals done for one reason or another yeh?
Your trading record is incredibly poor.
Also, once you "walk right across to the Doggies", they will just tell you to keep on walking because you have no chance of landing Ryan Griffen.
Don't mistake an unwillingness to trade on our behalf, for a poor trading record. Craig openly dislikes the ideal of trading, terming it the AFL's annual "meat market" and hence our trading policy over the past 5-6 years reflects this.
We don't trade just for the sake of trading, if a player wants out, we'll look to facilitate this, if a player wants in we'll also look into it, or if we see a gaping hole in our list, we'll target a certain type of player. We've had a reasonably balanced list over the past few years, probably lacking only in high end talent, hence we haven't seen a need to just trade willy-nilly.
I think you'll see us get a couple done over this coming trade week, if anything, we don't play hardball enough when it comes to trading. See Hudson/Mattner trades and the responses of many supporters to the compensation we received for them.
