Interesting - I don't think it reflects poorly on us at all. The talking heads on 360 last night were even saying that there is a lot of chatter/support coming from other clubs in the comp that they want us to hold firm and take a stand. Presumably they recognise a similar situation could happen...
I desperately hope dropping him this week is true - would be extremely proud of the club for taking a firm stance here.
Will be interesting if he doesn't play first grade consistently again this year or next, how that will impact his value on the open market. $1m+ a season is already paying on...
