Yeah Grigg is better than Collins so far, and is more valuable to our setup as well.
But we were in a position of power if we only wanted Grigg. Not if we wanted Grigg and Houli, which we obviously did.
We couldn't guarantee both of them a spot at Richmond in the PSD. I want Houli at Richmond, so if we needed to give Carlton something in return for Grigg, so be it.
Bachar has huge arms and is a ***y unit, so want him at Richmond for that alone

The reason he never had a long run in the team was because the problems evident from the time he was drafted he never fixed. ie poor decision marking, poor possession under pressure (great kick when not though), and questionable defence.
Now of course he has positives - great tank, certainly not skinny, great possession gathering ability and he'll never do anything stupid off-field. I'm just surprised Richmond would go for a player like Houli now, he's the sort of player who'd be serviceable in a top 4 team, but not so in a team developing.
But once again, PSD so no big risk. 300K a season is a bit bewildering but that figure is probably wrong anyway.

I can only presume the crybaby simily is directed at yourself?OMG!
Anyway, Houli hasn't threatened to retire if he doesn't go to Richmond. Hence no draft tampering. There's a difference between requesting to go to a club, and threatening to retire if you don't go to the club you want.

Didn't go laughing at WCE after we took their best player off them, flog.

We all did mate. No need to be falsely pure now just to score points. Besides you would have laughed at all involved in the Nick Stevens trade as well.

Yeah, keeping Didak and missing out on Chubby Stevens really hurt us in the end, didn't it?

Not surprised to see Sherman spray the Lions, heard he's a fair "individual..."

Find it annoying how Wilson starts talking about an agreement having already been signed between Essendon and Thompson, when she was insisting the opposite at the time. 
Really starting to think that we'll be on a bit of a decline now, and probably a 4th to 10th team. With a new coach, it's going to take some time to adjust. Not too perturbed about Wojak and Milburn getting new deals for 1 year, as long as they don't end up with 22 game seasons each.
