I agree. I can only assume we're playing everything through the media is to let our members and fans feel a little better about losing Harley and Charlie, but it's not working.Just got home and heard about the Harley deal. People have already expressed similar opinions to mine on here, so I won't even bother with it. But I am starting to get annoyed with how we are playing everything out in the media. First the whole Bennell cluster-f***, but we've been actively saying we are after Howe, Seedsman, Currie, etc every day, and that these are the 'only guys we are targeting'. Why can't we just let it play out behind closed doors that way if we don't pull something off we don't end up with egg on our face for once.
Anyway, rant over. Hopefully we do something positive with all these draft picks.
More and more reports are coming in suggesting that Howe is going to Collingwood and Seedsman has had a last minute meeting with Adelaide before heading overseas again.
I just hope that hunt for these B grade players are being played out publicly while we've got secret negotiations going on privately - but based on what Ashcroft has said, it doesn't look likely at all.
Ashcroft is really becoming Tony Abott-esque with his stupid slips of the tongue and poor eloquence.
