Exactly, you either trade like a good professional club with your players welfare at heart or you trade like Essendon and Carlton. What goes around comes around.Richmond didn't get rid of/let go of butler. They looked after a fringe player and got him to the club he wanted to go for cheap and on top of that waited till we'd done all 50 of the other trades we pulled off last year and accepted the scraps.
It's what good clubs do. I'm sure we'll be happy to return the favour in a couple years after a couple flags
Good luck to Butts, great to see him doing so well.
