"Dear Jonathon,
Great to hear you support the club's stance with Nick Stevens. It has been a real boost to hear the overwhelmingly positive response we've had to our decision.
As you have probably read or heard by now, the club was not offered an adequate trade by Collingwood after we learned via Nick's manager on Thursday that it was the only club we could deal with. Given that, we decided to not accept the meager offer and instead let Stevens go into the pre-season draft for no return in order to make a statement that we will not be manipulated by players, their managers, or opposition clubs. Nick is one of the comp's premier midfielders and we would have liked a return for him but given the circumstances we are happy with our decision."
Second paragraph was a bit of "Well, duh..." but there sure must've been a huge outcry from fans yestee.
