They kept a guy for a year that didn't want to be thereThey did imo. Getting Pick seven for a bloke that has not played for two years is a dream result despite not getting two firsts last year. Geelong kept Kelly and it paid off.
Consider the we lost one of the best forwards ever on a massive deal for pick 19 at the top of his powers. It continues to sting every time the AFL pull sh*te like this our of their corrupt behinds.
They had the opportnity for a decent trade last year and decided to dick around with it
That's a talented kid they could have 'developed' for 12 months instead of trying to turn around this sinking ship.
They'll claim victory here but it's such a dumb move to keep players that want to leave.
Now they've got Sheedy around again you can expect lots of "sizzle but no steak" moves from the club. Lots of showmanship of ruthlessness and club loyalty. The reality will be decisions made from emotion and nostalgia in an increasingly professional industry.
