While I always suspected that we hadn't chased Pavlich hard enough, I haven't heard all of what you've posted above, and if this is as it happened, then it's madness.
10 years of a rising Pavlich vs 2 years of a fading Carey only warrants a milli-second to make the choice - Pavlich by the proverbial length of the straight!!

Also keep in mind that we are paying Burns some $200K a year while Geelong is paying him another half.
Which brings us to another question, if we went after Pavlich and got him, would we have a tight salary cap at the minute and would we be running with a full list????? If we got Pavlich we couldn't have aforded Burns so in effect we would have had some $100K-$150K more to work with.
Too many ifs but one has to wonder. I also think that we would have been a MUCH better team with Pavlich rather than Carey.
