Is that what we're talking about?

You know, with Oliver and Petrarca in particular, and then obviously May.

Yeah.

Do you think there were clubs going, all right, hang on a minute.

Melbourne had all these big names that are on big deals.

They've moved them on and they've got a new coach and then they've just reinvigorated the way they play.

Are you thinking there's a bit of that about this?

Do you think it's a good time to strike?

Is that what you're thinking?

Yeah, but what do they get for the players you've mentioned?

You've mentioned Cripps.

If you're Adelaide... Yeah, and what are Carlton accepting?

No, they're not.

I think he's... I don't think Adelaide would give two first-rounders for him.

Because he's been a champion of the footy club and he's the captain, so... OK, so...

Now, what I was going to say was, it actually takes me back to Buddy Franklin.

It takes me all the way back when Alistair Clarkson flew to Vegas to say to Buddy, who had a year to go before he was a restricted free agent, listen, mate, if you're going to go...

go this year, we'll get a better scenario for you and we'll make it happen.

Rather, next year, we'll just get the end of first round compo.

So there's a little bit about that of what you're saying.
