It's understandable people are pissed we didn't get more for Witts considering what we gave up for Wood.
Unfortunately circumstances at the time didn't work out. The first scenario being he didn't want to be part of the Treloar deal as he admirably wanted to back himself in.
The second scenario is where it gets clouded. Did he just say I'm gone or did Gubby say, get rid at any cost?
Could we've offered a contract that enticed him to stay? Money saved from Mayne for example? Could we have bullshitted Witts saying we still saw him as number one ruck down the track with Grundy fwd? All the while thinking he would have more value down the track?
Anyway you look at it, we got nothing for a number one ruck.
The awkward baby giraffe is now an adult giraffe on his way to being an alpha giraffe.
