Let me sort out the confusion, because there seems to be some over our trade period.
From my personal opinion on the matter, to what I've observed, those who aren't happy with our trading this period aren't unhappy with who we brought in and who we lost, they're/we're unhappy with what we're paying and what we got for all those trades.
There's a HUGE difference between the two. '
I'm FINE with who we brought in and outside Nathan Brown I'm MORE than fine with who we let go. My issue is, we got f**king NOTHING, literally nothing for almost everyone we lost and gave up a bit and have offered seemingly expensive contracts for those we're bringing in.
Problem being the players that left weren't worth anything. If we matched Brown's contract he likely would have been traded for another nothing pick so what would be the point? Witts is a liability as soon as the ball comes off the ruck's hands and was in the VFL. Frost is a stopper only that can't pick up the ball most of the time. Collingwood needed to shed Cloke's final year of his contract.
Williams I don't really understand, there most be something in the background there.
