Providing we now believe Caro's article (I certainly do), the interesting part is going to be the timing of the announcement.
The AFC has the chance to set an example by leading the way in changing the attitude to free agency. There will come a time when players will be able to announce part way through the season that they will be leaving for another club, without fear of the kind of backlash they'll most certainly receive in present times. It won't be soon, but eventually it will be the norm.
Crows need to be ethical and mature about this, as they have been, if reports are true that they've been aware of PD's intentions.
Then we match, and ****ingwell take Geelong's ball sac as a trade, and their first draft pick for the next fifteen years, or PD ends up playing for Carlton.
