Of course, I'm not saying that at all
But Freo low balling and then pulling out is something we clearly didn't forsee when we publicly started discussing the possibility of Jesse leaving.
If we had then surely we would have played things differently and trotted out the "required player, under contract, has not officially requested a trade" lines publicly until an appropriate offer was made/accepted.
Anyhow, after [censored] everyone off, my main point is that I don't think it'll be plain sailing/happy camping for 2019 after all this.
