"Out of respect to Dayne, Collingwood worked as hard as it could to construct an equitable deal with the Lions who pursued the contracted 24 year-old All-Australian midfielder but, ultimately, didn't value him as Collingwood does," the statement said.
"As everyone is aware, Dayne requested a trade to Brisbane for personal reasons, something Collingwood agreed to consider as long as the outcome returned appropriate compensation."
What a load of cr@p! Think back a little way you Magpie morons. Sydney gave you some very good examples in Rocca & Jolly how to trade a top player, without being too demanding, so that they get to their club of choice, for the betterment of the player, at the expense of their former club. Your deal offered by Brisbane cr@ps all over the rubbishy trades you offered (& that we accepted) to make Rocca & Jolly happy.
