Perhaps. But we would have been able to match the offer and force a trade.

Collectively, the Oliver and Petracca trades have cost us $3.5 million in cap space for an extra pick. It is false economy.

These long deals are bad for us.

Counterfactual:

We had a 3 year deal instead and Carlton pushed CP5 through the PSD last year…

It’s unknowable of course, but the long deals are fine for the bona fide stars. I had two issues with the Oliver one - he wasn’t a professional, and we gave him a percentage of the cap, not a set $ figure.

Lamb and the club should review their actions and process on that one. The CP5 one is fine IMO.

One thing I will find interesting to watch is how Oliver and Tom Green work together. Three years ago Green was basically 'Oliver -10%' in all statistical areas, such was their similarity in roles.

Now Oliver will be second chair behind Tom Green at his core tasks, when Green has also been able to adapt his game better to more dynamic requirements.

Still crickets from Clarry thanking the fans?

Are we that disappointed. I mean I feel like the players that have done it, feel like they have to. I really don't care if he doesn't post anything. Also we know he isn't the brightest person, plus before social media players moved on all the time.
