In the other thread I noted the punishment did not fit the crime, there was no doubt in mind that consciously or subconsciously, the potential criminal charges were taken into account.
By bending to the mob team chemistry has been blown up.
Its to go to Chad and say pony up and sign (we will have much more cash if Blakey goes) otherwise we will look forward what we can get for you as well). Would love him to stay and sign a new deal but if not time to move on.
Spend all the picks on 1 or 2 players of super quality, i think we can cope without Blakey and Chad in return for a couple of top notch defenders (or at least 1 and another player of real quality).
This is all going to be so embarassing if no charges are ever laid, I said at the time dont bow to the mob and screw the AFL, 1 or 2 matches was appropriate for what was said to be punishment (to be honest a fine wouldnt have been out of the question).
Our club has completely and utterly mishandled this, make the punishment fit the crime, if the crime becomes more serious then punish accordingly.
As for Blakey grow up and start acting like a mature professional and not a spoiled brat. Irrespective of what happened in that room going out boozing a week before the finals says everything and i think explains the 2 disastrous GF performances.4
If we are lucky the whole debacle may have seen the rest of the group discover what the "bloods" culture really is. If they have we may have a realistic change of another flag. Our past success relied more on the efforts of the talented players not their talents.Comment

So here's the news re Harry C. Seems the promise of an extra year (2 vs 1 with us) as much as the coaching pathway, which I'm sure we could have offered, was the sealer.
But regardless, go well. He was one of my faves, a great clubman, the young players just loved him to bits and he's given us awesome service.
And yes, hope we see him back in the coaching ranks one. He'd make a ripping development coach.Comment
