My argument is where carlton supporters think Gold Coast has no power in where Martin goes. They could loose him for nothing but they have absolute say if he's traded to carlton.Their options are trade with Carlton or lose him for nothing. If you think they have the balance of power then I dont think I can help you.
Scenario floated above:
Martin wants to play for carlton.
carlton offer a draft pick.
Gold Coast say, no we are not happy with that pick.
In this case, it's down to Gold Coast's decision to accept the offered pick or let him walk. carlton have the power to walk away if the asking price is too high but the final decision on the trade rests with Gold Coast, to tick off the trade or not.
Let's say carlton offer pick 39.
Gold Coast say, nah, we don't value that pick or wont even use that pick. No trade is done. carlton still need to make an offer that GC are happy with.
