Let's not pretend it was similar to GC getting Ablett or Richmond getting Lynch though.In regards to these
Adelaide was going to match, and you knew it, hence you didn't even offering a bid, and went straight to the trade table.
And GWS did match, which forced you to pay up for him.
So saying you overpaid due to them being FA is incorrect.
Geelong paid up. If they didn't draft one of the steals of the century in Kelly, the Cameron trade wouldn't have even been possible.
