Probably, I'm softening on it though.
Does that help the morale of the group.. I don't know.
Wish a (fair) deal was done TBH.
It's business
It's football
It will all be forgotten by March
We start winning games and he's not being asked to extract the pill from underneath guys 15kg heavier and enjoying his footy again he'll be fine

This is my opinion of it as well FWIW. I hope this doesn't have negative flow through the group and the AFL, but who knows.

It looks like most of players couldn't give 2 ****s about him after being probably the only bloke not to buy in last year and playing with no effort or heart.

If you were ever going to make a stand and not have to worry about hurting the player group this is the perfect case.
 
Jack has 4 choices as I see it, as he's contracted to us til 31st Oct.

If we tabled a contract to him prior to the trade period and it's still on the table, then he has til the 31st Oct to sign it and he stays at the Suns.

Or he nominates for the National Draft and takes his chances as to where he goes.

Or he nominates for the PSD and same scenario.

Or he tries to re-negotiate another contract with the Suns.

I think I'm correct in stating that.
 
He can re-sign for 1 year and he can be a free agent next year and go wherever he wants and we can get some FA compo.

Further to that we should have plenty of cap room for next year (before extensions for King & co kick in) so we can match almost any deal. Don't know if Jack will like the idea of going to the PSD knowing the place he doesn't want be at can have him under contract for 3-4 years.

I don’t want Martin back - its a publicised lesson for future players

don’t bother “nominating” the club you want to go if they don’t want to deal a fair hand. Otherwise you get pot luck in the draft and go anywhere

we’re not the AFL’s kindergarten
Exactly. No way I want him back. He was borderline embarrasing in the second half of the season. So we lost pick 30 or something. Who cares. We got plenty. It's a statement to other teams - don't f* with us. Pay fair price.
 
let's all make a pact not to get upset when carlton draft jack at the national draft/psd, as we would then actually lose him for nothing hahah.
Don’t care either way, just happy we didn’t bend over and take it in a trade for once. Carlton have to now RISK us or Melbourne taking him before they can. Sends a message we aren’t pushovers

Except if he ends up at Carlton for free, then it's statement "f#ck with us all U want".
I am very interested to see how this plays out.

Only works for Carlton cause they have pick 4 - if you were a top 8 club trying to raid us tough luck!

lesson is more for the players and managers - don’t nominate a club if you don’t have a fair trade in order

You think Melbourne will not be interested? We do have option to pick him up in PSD. Or will he last until pick 9 in ND? Martin is probably piss off with Carlton right now. Our offer was very fair. What Carlton offered is a joke. No guarantee at all he will end up with Carlton.
