Very disappointed that we couldn't get more.. but obviously after trading 48.. we just couldn't get anything else that would suit..
Thought a 3 way trade with Freo could have been viable but either the club thinks they can do better (Gumby + 26 for 17) or they just thought it was time to get the deal done.
As to the notion we should have just taken this on Day 1.. yeesh..
Unfortunately the Dogs having such an early pick in the PSD on account of them being crap.. really hurt our position.
Oh and I would agree with what others have said about us rolling over on the penalties.. I was as shocked, and disappointed, as many others.. but that is evident in my posting after our capitulation.. however I would state that the club at NO POINT indicated they had cheated, or had allowed cheating, to occur at the club. But we don't need to open new wounds.
If you still believe those charges weren't a trumped up witch hunt.. well then enjoy your Age subscription..
