    Nuh, bugger him. We gave him a great opportunity, supported him through tough times, and signed him to a lucrative long-term deal. In return, he repaid us with continued unprofessional and immature off-field behaviour, showing complete disregard for the club and those who backed him. I hope he sorts himself out off field but wish him no on-field success.

    You know what’s cool? Having different opinions and feelings

    Despite what some on here will tell you, it’s perfectly ok to feel incredibly sad about this trade.

    Thank you Clarry for giving us some of the best years of our supporting lives.

    You were by far the most special midfielder I’ve ever seen in red and blue.

    I wish you nothing but success. On field, but much more importantly off field.

    I hope you find the peace you’re so desperately looking for.

    Forever the greatest #13 ❤️💙

    It’s probably only worth a future 3rd after this trade period.

    Too soon?

    You’re just playing us

    Next year you’ll come out and ask for a trade to Hawkland

    The Hawks arrogance is breathtaking. One good pick, 2 average ones and a plodder. Refusing to trade a best 23 but wanting A graders is why they are a bunch of [censored].

    And why they’re a non starter for Humphrey this year

    At least Sydney got it together and gave Carlton an offer worth thinking about

    Photo on the phone looks like it could be this one with Connor Budarick who was just traded to the Western Bulldogs.

    Would have been better if you said:

    "We did this for a reason"

    I’ll take note for next time

    Forgot people have no deduction skills

    Edit: it also doesn’t matter if we did it for a reason or not. The outcome remains the same. You publicly tell a player to leave or play VFL, and you end up getting VFL level return

    I think we did it for reasons. It's clear to me that he's recently broken the last straw. There's got to be a line and he's crossed it.

    We needed to "blow it up" because that was the only way to move him.

    As others have posted, there's not a queue of clubs out bidding GWS' modest offer - why would that be?

    I hope he prospers at GWS and in life generally. I'll be very fine with that and cheer him on like Jesse and Toby, except against us.

    Again, not the point of my post

    The point of my post is that you can’t complain about the trade value of a trade you’re pushing in such an aggressive manner

    are you serious?

    He blew his career up. We supported him through everything despite everything

    It's simple. Be professional and do what you are paid a truck load to do.

    We can continue to 'put the effort in' and finish in the bottom 6 but King and others know when it's time to move on and cut your losses

    wtf are you talking about?

    I was answering people’s meltdowns about the value of the trade

    WE chose to part ways with him in such a ridiculous way this year, so WE have to bare the cost of that

    Last year we could have got a far better deal, but we didn’t.

    This year we could have approached the trade in a far more pragmatic and diplomatic manner and tried to at least get 50 cents back

    WE decided to push Clarry out against his wishes

    It doesn’t matter if you agree or not, it doesn’t matter if you want him gone or not, but you can absolutely want to be professional to at least get better value in a trade

    We had two opportunities for two years running to trade him for more. We chose not to. He wanted to stay. We forced the issue, let it leak, watch him meltdown, made it publicly known we will pay part of his wage and made it sound like he’s a VFL level player.

    So don’t cry when the return is a packet of used condoms

    The same way in which the leak about us pushing May out has gone down like sour milk and we will have to keep him for another 12 months

    When you are telling a player to go away, you can’t ask for a good return when he does

    We chose to blow the relationship up, despite Clarry being invested and wanting to stay

    We did this

    When you not only blow things up, but also let such a blow up leak, you have no leg to stand on

    GWS are happy to put in the effort we obviously no longer want to put in, while we pay for it

    I can’t wait for the 9,000,000 posts next year by everyone here who were pushing for Clarry to be sold off for a pack of condoms for the last two years, having a full blown meltdown that he’s playing well and we are paying him to do it

    Careful what you wish for
