Especially considering Hawthorn compensated us rather generously with picks, probably at Shaun's insistence.
Mid first round pick and a 5 spot upgrade in the second round is generous?We gave up more than that for Daniel Motlop in the day. We came close to that with what we gave up for Ryder, who still now has WADA hanging over his head. We will probably give that up for Dixon. We turned down only marginally less for Nick Stevens.

Burgoyne was and has proven to be a better producer in his role than any of those players. We got an OK return but its a long way from generous or fair.

Exactly, it wasn't as if he went all Nick Stevens on us.

This may belong in the unpopular opinions thread but if Shaun wanted back in for one or two years, and he was still capable of playing at his current level, I'd have him back in a heartbeat.
Yea nah spat the dummy & proved Dom was the right choice as captain.. on yer bike Shaun

Love it how Vic media are suddenly up in arms about airlines price gouging during the AFL finals series. Welcome to reality Vics! You think us South Aussies drive to Melbourne for finals just because we like the pies at the Horsham bakery?
Horsham bakery pies get the thumbs up from me. :thumbsu::thumbsu:

Really? Its been done to death. Had more to do with goings on outside of the club than what was happening within the club. Having said that, pretty sure if it happened in the current environment Ken would be able to convince him to stay.

Shaun didn't leave due to not receiving the captaincy. That is a falsehood.

What actually conspired was something more complex. I'm hesitant to say 'racism' because I don't want booing of Burgoyne to increase like Goodes, but there were irrevocably severed relationships between cliques.

The Corneses, who were relentless trainers, versus the Burgoynes (one of which who turned up to training "in an unfit state" and the other who coasted at well under his capable output while Williams continued to blow smoke up his arse).

Can't see where the problem was.

Listening to Fagan talking absolute tripe on 5AA makes me so happy we have KT.

ITS MADE EVEN BETTER BY THE HERO WORSHIP THE crows fans have for him, they'll never learn.
Did you hear (8172763 million times) that he's going to get his William Wallace war paint on?

This child psychologist with his "helping your child deal with the trauma of Patrick Dangerfield leaving" is less extreme than the situation in the UK in 1995 when Robbie Williams left 'Take That' and suicide hotlines were set up.
