I want the Lions to win, but that doesn't mean I want everyone else to suffer in their jocks.
It won't go well for the Lions in future trades if this is seen as a huge burn in trade terms. Swings and roundabouts.
The bigger issue going forward will be the reaction to what, lets face it, seems to be a perfectly orchestrated poaching expedition, initiated by Brisbane. Lets not con ourselves, this has been brewing for a while, and done in a fashion calculated to **** us over. Congratulations, well played.
Swings and roundabouts; I would be desperately disappointed if we dont look at some point down the track in inducing one of yours to require an immediate return to melbourne, on purely compassionate grounds of course, and miraculously nominate only Collingwood as a destination.
Swings and roundabouts. This has the prospect of unleashing a whirwind on you, and the more you force a win-lose, the more antagonism you store for the future. I hope this may be a tactical victory and stragtegic defeat. But definitely enjoy it while it lasts.
