People aren't happy with our deals because they suck.
So you think Lids (who wants to go) and a straight swap for Caddy isn't a good deal for us?
or would you rather the club cave into geelong's demand of Lids + pick 27 for Caddy and say that's a better deal?
Or perhaps you want them to do a Hawthorn'esq deal for Lids? Pick 50 odd?
Caddy for Lids is a win for us.
Nothing wrong with that deal it doesn't suck.
Simple facts are (1) if Geelong want him it's on our terms not their's. If they wont' accept a fair a reasonable trade then Lids comes back, re stocks his locker and we move on
And (2) we can throw up the likes of Edwards, Ellis B, Lennon, etc but if no one wants them or they don't agree to a trade then they don't go
Geelong not prepared to do that deal is not the Club's fault
