A few things blue supporters are missing out on mate.
First the bridge is burnt between the blues and Yarran. Your club does not want him back, they have not even spoken to him since the season has finished, so if anyone believes he will walk back into the fold are dreaming, this is no walker situation here.
Secondly, the blues have put themselves in a real precarious position. You stated you wanted a first round pick, we get you one as 19 is technically a compo first round selection and the blues balk ? The message that sends to the players on your list currently and those that may want to come in the future is scary. Its ok for the blues on one hand to break a contract for example with menzel as long as it benefits the blues but if you serve 7 years and you want to go, we will crucify you.
The tigers risk here is minimal. We can now keep our 2 first picks, trade one of them for a jet like Steele, get Yarran to quit footy after the list lodgement phase do your list plays one short and his money is still included in your cap. Then we higher him as a training assistant for the year, so to keep him conditioned and get to bond with the players, then next year we draft him for a late 5th round and the blues get nothing at all.
Bottom line the AFL is corrupt, they hate bad press, they will force the Yarran trade, just watch lol. Personally, even though I rate Yarran and want him in my side, i would perfer if the blues dont accept 19 by lunch today, to walk away and let the above shit storm happen. We still at worst get 2 quality kids, or 1 quality kid and a quality trade and get yarran next year for nothing and the blues get zero.
