Not sure how I feel about first year players demanding trades even before their first contract has expired.
He has just asked for a shiteload of pressure to be applied to himself…
He may suck it up and become the next Wayne Carey. Or he may sink and we all get stuck in about the brash kid who talked the talk but couldn't walk the walk and asked for a trade before his first contract even expired…
Kinda like how we all think of Tom Scully now.
In either case…football is more than ever a business. There will still be the loyal ones, but that has become the exception rather than the norm. And as slashin_velvet pointed out, if he'd nominated Carlton we'd all be doing cartwheels.
