I don’t have a huge problem with players wanting to get to a good club. We are a rabble and I’d be telling my lad to get to Geelong or Richmond rather than Essendon
This gets threatened every year and how often does it happen. Probably 80-90% of times the player ends up where they want and with GWS having woeful cap management this was always a likely chance of happening and they will have to most likely take undershelicopterking wrote:If GWS don’t get what they want or Nth Melb should be ready to take him. Make him sook there for a few years.

Slightly different in a two town club.
I think Booney has a valid point - how many recruits have Richmond picked up over the past half dozen years as opposed to say Essendon?

Geelong is a one club town.

He should be able to "trade" his services, it's his job, I have no problems with that, but if his motivation is to go home then GWS should be able to deal with whoever offers them the best outcome. If it's Essendon, well mate you can stay or go to Essendon as they have put in the best offer.
