Targeting Lord is just revenge for Esava. It has Scott written all over it, rather than Mackie. Mackie is just the new kid on the block doing whatever the club dictator tells him to.
Scott refused to trade Esava last year and is determined to extract the highest price possible this year. He is banking on the fact we won’t walk Esava to the draft. That must be very tempting to us now. Clearly, Scott is saying:
”Whatever you do to get Esava this year we will do the same to Lord in 12 months.”
This is all bluff by Geelong. The key difference between the two cases, Esava and Ollie, is that Esava has declared he wants to leave the aging club run by the midget psychopath. If Scott really wants to keep Esava or thinks he is worth more than 24, why isn’t he offering the same terms to Esava we are? Why didn’t they offer him more last year? Why did they make him play the last 12 months at Geelong on substantially lower pay than he could’ve earned this year at Port?
It may be a smart move by Scott but only if he is prepared to commit to Lord now and pay him what we are paying Esava- if they are of equivalent trade value to him, is he prepared to pay Lord the same as we are paying Esava? Or is this all posturing and bluff?
